Bit of a sloppy cold day today and hand is still aching so decided I'd focus more indoors and get the next houseplants on the queue tidied up which is- the birdsnest snake plants
I am SO sorry I did not take a better before photo (or even take any repotting process photos from here on) I thought I did but was wrong. I assure you the after photo will make up for it-
"But it looks the same though but just not blurry", sadly yes but I assure you there was work done; several older unstriped specimens were removed (at least a medium flowerpot's worth of material) as well as dead/unstriped leaves, got some fresh soil mixed in, rinsed the dust off the leaves, and also turned some of the divisions into a 3rd potted group!
technically one probably should separate all the plants into their own individual pots but I asked myself; do I want NINE different potted birdsnest snake plants to locate and care for? Do I not like them in a grouping implying a small colony of them? first answer is no, second answer is yes, so in a grouping they stay!
The OG pots will be moved to their old locations, the new one... not sure. Maybe in my bedroom too and see how much the striping stays/goes from the darker conditions. Let's hope they keep the stripes, I'm a sucker for stripes.
Dracaena trifasciata - formerly known as Sansevieria trifasciata (snake plant, mother-in-law’s tongue)
I’ve always called this plant a Sansevieria but recently all 70 species were reclassified as members of the Dracaena genus. One of the common names for this species is ‘mother-in-law tongue’ which is ironic considering that it makes a perfect bachelor houseplant. Sansevierias require very little care, minimal watering and they seem to positively enjoy being ‘pot bound’.
This species is a desert plant and it only opens the stomata on its leaves at night to avoid unnecessary water loss. Those drops on the leaves are extremely fragrant but they also only turn on the charm at night, to attract moths, their main pollinators. At one point this plant became so fragrant that I considered putting it out on the back porch. During the day, it’s odorless.
We’ve had this specimen for over ten years. It was rescued from a seniors’ facility where it was dying from neglect (even Sansevierias have their limits). We originally had it in our bedroom where it watched the sunrise but it never flowered, and never produced that very distinctive perfume. Three years ago, we moved it to the front room where it can see the sunset. It immediately produced flowers for the first time and now blooms every summer.
Hello Undertale Community, I need your help/opinion.
So I'm working on my Undertale AU the one with Sansevieria, The still unnamed Cat and Cucciolo (Papyrus' plant dog {Sketch Link of Sansevieria Here & Sketch Link of the Unnamed Cat and Cucciolo Here}
So I need help with picking the Name of the AU and the Name of the Cat I'll be making 2 separate poles and explaining the reason for each choice in my next posts/reposts
You know what, just call it what it is. (Hoarding!)
This room is at least one of the less concerning spaces and it’s where the vast majority of my tropicals grow. Many of these plants I’ve had for a good 5+ years, and will likely be getting chopped and shared over time (looking at you, ficus!)
Luckily not finding any new plants I want. (Exceptions can be made for select hoya/fern/aloe/agave, though.) I’m definitely enjoying the plants I do have, and so long as they all get good care without driving me nuts it’s okay.
