Re: Eve's un-identified plant.



Dear Lone,

my plant is still a puzzle, because I have S.t. 'Moonshine' and the "puzzle"-Sansevieria looks quite
others and much more little. It can maybe a hybrid plant, I don't know. I looked at John's S. javanica once
more better. You are right it is really an other plant. 

I'm glad to became member of this Sanscollector group, certainly I would like to learn everything about
Sansevierias. My English is very poor, but I hope you understand me. Thank you.

I would like to send you the photos of my plants and you can see how hard is it to collected Sansevierias alone
in Hungary. I have only the Brown monography and a few articles of Pfennig. I want to buy the book of Hermine
and the book of Juan, but it goes very slowly. I haven't got yet answer from the Rainbow Gardens Bookshop.
I'm really need also all of Juan's Sansevieria Journal, but I've seen in the publications list, that they
are not longer available. I had also the Morgenstern book, but it made only a big confusion in my mind. I sent
it to Mike and he said it is really misleading. I also think so. There are three men, Mike, Len and
Norbert(succulent-specialist in Wien), from who I could learn still now and get some articles. But I'm
yet a layman with a lot of incorrect named plants. So I would like to learn, to learn as much as possible!!! I
love my plants very much, but I want also to know them.

Well, I speak allways too much. I beg your pardon. I prefer to send some photos. 

This plant came from the Bot. Gard. of Budapest, it was called there S. raffillii. According to Brown I doubt
this name. Have you any idea about it? Length of leaves to 70 cm and to 6 cm wide. And thank you.

Best regards

Eve

Are any `Sansevierias` protected by CITES?

The online catalogue of a U.S based plants nursery (no name mentioned)
states that the nursery does not sell CITES protected plants outside
the U.S. Good. Endangered species need protecting.

The nursery very kindly does not state whether any of their plants 
are thus protected. 

If any reader has information on the names of any plants that are 
protected please let me know. This would save me the bother of 
ordering a plant, only to recieve a message telling me that it is 
protected.

Thanks.

It is my opinion that CITES has done, and will continue to do more harm to 
the life-forms supposedly protected by it.

>are thus protected.

Sansevierias are not protected. and the plants which come under the 
umbrella of "protection" vary with the speed of the wind, direction of the 
flying geese overhead, and things like if they were propagated or collected 
or compounded in an underground recombinant DNA lab.

in short, i would like to say, perhaps for the billionth time, A POX ON 
CITES, responsible for much death of plant material.

How to kill a sansevieria?

Not that I'm trying, but I think I'm succeeding.  And I was just on 
the point of deciding that they are indestructible, too.
Are they succulents?  I was doing a bit of searching online and found 
a little bit of info that seemed to suggest that. 
The one I am killing was doing fine for a long time, but then I had to 
repot it, and it seems to be going to mush now, although I haven't 
watered it once since repotting, but then it is in a tall gecko cage 
with a species of gecko that likes coolish (~78 F max) high humidity 
conditions--I spray them heavily each night, and much of the spray 
lands on the leaves and runs down the stem.  (I had to repot it 
because a colony of ants had moved in!)
Is there any hope for it living in that environment?  As I said, it 
seemed to be doing ok before the repotting, so I'm wondering if I put 
it in some dryer soil if it would do ok.  Probably I just need to move 
this one outside to recover and get a different one.

Also, are there shortish varieties?  I have a plant that looks like a 
miniature mothers-in-law tongue that someone gave me--I liked it 
because the strong leaves do work well with larger geckos
(my other pair of arboreals like mid humidity with moderately high 
heat--85's under basking light, and their sansevieria seems to be ok. 
 I rarely water it.

Last, how DO you pronounce sansevierias?
