Thank you, Nancy. Yours looks great, even with the darker "inside" apearance.

Yeah, I noticed mine has hardly any roots... any ideas to encourage root growth? I was going to try Stush's alfalfa thing.

I don't do anything to promote root growth, sometimes you can already see root nubs forming at the base. I just use my potting soil and perlite mix, damp, and place the cutting or offset in it. I'll use a rock if it needs to be propped up. I have never tried alfalfa.

Is the base of your new plant firm?

Yes, it is.

OK, so this is the whole plant. The camera makes it look a bit healthier and greener than it actually is. The yellowing of the leaf to the right has me worried a bit; I guess we'll see.

It actually holds up well without using rocks, that's a first with sanseviera for me!

It's in its "quarantine spot" but will be moved to the window in about a week.

Might be too taller growing to be 'Moonshine'. Could be S. trifasciata Gray Lady?

Hi,

This looks to be Moonshine. I've seen a great variation in height in Moonshine.

I used to have Gray Lady, and that variety is much more slender, and has dark green banding on the silvery gray color. Hope this helps!

Stush, maybe you mean Silver Queen?

Lisbeth, Thank you.

Here's mine but I have kept the more smaller with green banding for myself and gave away the more Moonshine looking ones away.

It grows more like a large hahnii than futura.

Beautiful!

@Stush2049 Pitts. PA, zone 6 I love the coloring of your "special" moonshine!

Sadly, I just discovered what looks like rot (?) on mine. It's very low and you hardly see it if you don't pull the blades apart, so I'm not sure if this is new or old. What should I do?

I watered it once, 6 days after repotting.

Spray with mouthwash. The Dollar store brand with the active ingredient thymol. The alcohol good on killings insects and dries and disinfects fungus. I buy the minty type that gives it a nice smell. Some times it helps but some times it's too late and the whole crown just rots. If it dies for you, I can send you one of mine. Message me your name and address. Postage only.

That's very sweet of you, Stush, but I'm in Europe, so no sending of plants possible... I'll try and find mouthwash with thymol. I have 70% alcohol, would that help, too?

I've really had bad luck with plants recently, maybe fate is trying to tell me something!

Don't know. Sounds a little too strong.

Aside from mouthwash, you might also try and make anti-fungus infusion yourself . The recipe:

A packet of dried thyme and dried oregano, add 200 ml of spirit diluted with 1/2 litre of water (boiled and cooled). Keep at room temperature for one day, stir from time to time. Next day it must be filtered and put in the fridge. The remaining herbs should have some boiling water poured over them, a glass will be enough; this liquid also should be filtered and added to alcohol brew. To spray - about 50 ml per one litre of water is sufficient.

We just talked about Sansevieria anthracnose on another site. Use of an anti fungal seems to be the best treatment. Use of Copper sulfate, or Silver or over the counter anti-fungal treatments sold at Big Box Stores or on line. Just google anti-fungal treatments.

Basia, Didn't know about Thyme and Oregano being anti-fungal.

Look up "thymol" on the net, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymol - its properties are really quite interesting.

The mouthwash I found did not have thymol in it. BUT I remembered I still have Chinosol here. That's an antiseptic, used for making mouthwash, amongst other things. (active ingredient: 8-Chinolinolsulfat-Kaliumsulfat (equivalent to Chinolin-8-ol , whatever that means ) Around here, it is often recommended when you sow cacti, to fight (or prevent) that fungus that kills seedlings within hours. (Cactus seedlings are vulnerable because they are so slow growing).

So, I know it doesn't harm plants and maybe it helps. Will still try to find the antifungals mentioned above. And thank you for the recipe, @BasiaK!
