Need Sansevieria ID

These had no tags. The dark colored one has nearly-black on one side of the leaf and subtle variegation on the other side. Just got that one today. The other one I've had for about a year and the growth pattern doesn't seem to be like the typical sans.

Thanks!

Since Sans. tri. hahnii doesn't produce a bloom, they are know to stack (keep growing more leaves going straight up. It is very old. Maybe over 5 years. It's name is Sansevieria trifasciata hahnii 'Golden Hahnii'.

The other looks to be one called Sansevieria Black Robusta. It grows to about 16" and some are know to bloom. Once it blooms, the growing node is finished. It will produce new pups around it but the new growth of the center main plant is done. Main reason I hate to see a bloom stock forming.

Sort by:Oldest

Hey! Cool plants! They are beauties. :)

The one on the right looks like a taller, 'stacked' Golden Hahnii. The other is very striking, but I've never seen one like it before...I hope you find out what it is!

Is it normal for them to grow stacked like that? It's top-heavy and keeps falling over. I thought perhaps it needed to be repotted into a bigger pot but the roots haven't completely filled the pot it's currently in.

Interesting... I've never seen a sansevieria bloom before. I wonder how tall the Golden Hahnii can get?

The tallest Hahnii I have seen was stacked up to 4 feet. Wish I took a picture of it. Went back there a few years later and it was gone. It looked sort of beat up being a very old plant. It was outside a barber shop in North Lima, Ohio. Still a very impressive plant.

If you look thru these post, I'm sure there's plenty of pictures of bloom stocks. I posted many myself.
