Thank you socks! Since they just got them in days ago, maybe there will be a few left with more leaves. Good to know that they are easy to grow!

if the media will allow.. i tip plants out of the pot.. and buy the best root system ...

and if they are all the same.. then the one with the most yellow...

Good point Ken. I don't know why, but I keep forgetting that I should remove the pot and look at the roots! The roots are the foundation of the plant! The one with the most yellow---I will look!

Seems the older they get, the more yellow they produce in their new leaves. I started with regular plants with a simple extra yellow stripe down one leaf and then every new leaf came more and more yellow.

They are much easier to grow then most of the sans I own.

There seem to be more species of Snake Plants showing up, I tend to prefer the more traditional ones, but those are nice. Some of newer ones, though are just plain ugly in my opinion.

I think the only thing new is the name. Same plant with different names. Too many nick-names that are made up by the seller.

I got a 'La Rubia', which might be a little more vertical and less wide than 'Gold Flame', leaves get all yellow sometimes. Maybe "Gold Flame" is an improved clone that is getting very common. All the trifasciata variations are pretty easy to grow, which is why they are so common.

At the store, they are all clones and probably will change colors the same, I choose the plant that looks the freshest, because I don't want to look at damaged leaves for a few years until the new growth takes over.

I do see some "new" Asian hybrids, which seem to fit more of the smaller cute plant niche, probably will get more common.

The so called new Thai hybrids are interesting but they do not tell which Sans bred from. Your left guessing what they are. Some come with an interesting price as well. I purchased some at about $50 ea. Very small and took a chance getting them.

Your plants look great Stush!

You made a comment about your sans getting more yellow with the new leaves. Wouldn't being grown outside bring out more of the yellow than if they were just grown inside?

I think natural sun would enhance all the colors of plants as long as it has time to adjust to it. I got a lot of sun burn on some of my sans putting them out too soon in direct sun. On my back deck, sun is only about 2 hours a day but still was enough to do it.

Also those Thai hybrids are very thick and heavy leaves and seems to take much more punishment. They don't have any trifasciata in them.

I hadn't thought that the sans would take sun at all. My patio has about the same amount of sun you have, but it's the hot midday sun unfortunately.

I currently have two sans outdoors. It is really just an experiment. I will see how they grow compared to indoors.

My solid green Sans (non variegated) seems to love direct sun but most like bright shade. I do believe your right that Sans do better in bright shade more than direct sun.
