I love snake plants!! I have the plain green variety that was handed down to me from my great aunt! That plant is over 40 years old!! My favorites are the bird nest varieties! But I have seen the whale fin variety and now I’m wanting one of them!! They are so huge!! ❤️🌱
Snake plants are really cool I have one mine is really big.they are good hose plants and you don’t need to water them that much I water mine every month.I have a big passion for plants if you didn’t know and I’m thirteen and have my own garden and RU-vid channel.thanks for the advice bye and thanks again 😊😃
Good on ya! Cultivate those interests that you have now, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't turn that into a profession! So many 'adults,' myself included, have to 'find ourselves' again because we got away from that and went with 'real jobs' (read as BORING AF). Keep killin it!
Awesome video. Thank you for showing some of the different Sansevieria species. I just ordered a few of the ones from this video. Thank you for the inspiration!
I have about half the varieties you showed and I think my favorite is my cylindrica. I have several pots of the "plain" variety but love them regardless. Also, even though the genus has changed to Dracaena, they will always be Sansevieria to me.
I never feel bad stocking up on snake plants, they are so easy to take care of. My favourites are the Moonshine, the Samurai, the Silver Flame, and Fernwood.
my original Laurentii flowered for me years ago and it was such an unexpected treat. beautiful small white and yellow blossom on a sort of spike if I remember correctly. It grew up out of the center of the plant. I wish you had one in bloom to show.
I'm excited about the indoor plants information coming out on this channel! My husband likes the look of indoor plants but doesn't do much of the plant tending. I hope I can green up our space for us with your help! :)
I love the also, I was introduced to them some 30 plus years ago and they were always called "mother in laws tongue". And funny enough, my mother in law is the one that introduced them to me, shucks, she had to have at least 30 or more pots of them. I guess I'll always called them that. I have a few now for myself. Thanks Kevin, for bringing back some great memories. 🤗🌵🌾🍀 All the easy from Va.
What an awesome video! I started an indoor plant collection since I’ve been working from home and my collection has been growing ever since. I will definitely need to look into adding some variety of snake plants for my collection! 🤗
I love your videos. You go straight to the point and don't do unnecessary things while shooting your content. You explain well and make things easier for your audience to understand. I will be showing your channel to my mum.
Just moved out and now I’m in an apartment. Already missing my little garden at my parents house! I’m totally going to be referring to this video when I buy some plants to add some green to this place!
I have the boncel cylindrical snake plant, and the zeylanica (no yellow stripes)! I enjoy those babies. The boncel I acquired three years ago. I had it living in a tall mason jar for more than two years! Clearly it stayed in a compacted size in that time. I didn't know what it was for the longest time, and virtually *never* watered or paid attention to it. It is hearty and it lived without my attention. Every few months I would dump some excess water in it and forget about it! I have since moved it to an actual pot, and it grew huge and fast over the summer. During the winter it stopped growing, as have all my house plants. The boncel I propagated, and have a baby one going, they are all resting for the winter. The zeylanica is beautiful in a clay pot that I found and painted white. I may add sand to the soil when the weather gets warm again (East coast). I have gnats in the house, which I read is partly due to over watering. I am the "motherly" type to the house plants when I learn what they are. I will not water for many extra days past my typical watering schedule and let them dry out properly.
Wow this is the first time im getting all the names for the different types of snake plants. I have one that's a center piece in my living room. I love them cos they are easy to replant and less stressful to maintain. Tfs
I just love these! I feel as though a lot of these variations are the same plant in different conditions or some similar explanation. I have one plant that has 3 different looking variations all coming from the same plant. In the same pot. I find its beautiful. Apparently the laurentii looses its yellow border if you propagate it from a leaf trimming… and it can go crazy and shoot all kinds of different patterned and coloured leaves 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Great varieties of sanserveria or dracena that they have recently been recaracterized as. I have 8 or 9 myself mate and ive nearly finished setting up the grow room. Great video pal. Hope your good
As I live in the UK I love your houseplants video's as they are what I'm able to buy and grow. I love all of your video's but a lot of your garden plants im unable to grow here. Thanks for including us x
I love these guys. I am at 35 varieties and counting. There are 70 species of Sansevieria known and so, so many hybrids, cultivars and sports. New ones being discovered and hybridizing all the time. I think your Zeylanica might have been a miss-label. You may want to research that out. I have learned a lot about these plants from the long time collectors I meet in Facebook groups, Planet Sansevieria and Sansevieria USA (All are welcome). I encourage anyone who wants to know more about these fascinating plants to join us. Thanks for the content Kevin. Keep them coming!
Third of all: I need to get a Boncel. Second of all: I need a lot more sansaveria/dracena in my life but first of all: all your content is great, but I love your indoor plant videos best of all. Namaste
I live in south FL, these plants grow like weeds here! But I really appreciate this video. They are attractive plants and I have several in pots on my patio. Some I didn’t know are snake plants!
I need some snake plants!! I'm just starting my houseplant collection and don't have any of these yet ... Soon though, very soon lol great video as usual. Peace ✌️ love 💚 and plants 🌱
I was looking to buy the samurai plant then I noticed the jaboa 👀and ended buying the jaboa and the whale fin. 😊 😆 Both are small. I am happy with my choices.😌😌
This makes me so happy because snake plants are the literal only plants I have ever successfully kept alive and now I know more types to look for than I did before :3
The timing of this video couldn't be more perfect! I just got a samurai dwarf from a local nursery like an hour before watching this video and seeing it in your top 3 made my choice feel validated haha
I just discovered your channel and I love your vibe. I just found a very distressed Snake plant and it needs help! So thank you! I only have regular mix (and orchid) and there's a blizzard coming tonight and this plant was left with the root ball exposed my my building lobby, the whole plant decimated. Don't know what happened! Poor thing! Gonna put it in a small pot for now.
Glad to see a houseplant video again and on one of my favorites, snake plants. I have 6 different ones. You didn't mention fernwood and cylindrica which are two of my newest along with Samurai which you did. Looking forward to more houseplant videos plus I'm curious to find out how to propagate samurai.
Kevin, thank you so much for making my thumbs green. Your book is awesome as well and I can say I watched ALL your videos in two channels and I'm always looking forward for more. Would you please make some videos about carnivorous plant species? I have a Nepenthes that is growing ok but there's always room to learn more and I am thinking about getting a Dionæa (venus fly trap). As our zones are somewhat similar (I'm in South LA) you're the best always. Thank you!
Great info. I've been obsessed with finding a whale fin snake plant for my entry way that gets really low light. More indoor plant videos please. I'm a budding plant dad (pun intended) and appreciate as much knowledge as I can get. 😊
I have a few of the taller and shorter ones growing outside in my yard, some in the ground and some in containers. I find they like morning sun, afternoon shade. They also like a bit of protection from the wind and the cold, here in Central Florida, East Coast. I like pairing them up with other plants in pretty containers. They look really nice with Vinca, a.k.a. Periwinkle.
These videos on a family of plants are amazing! How about Ficus next? Also, never really thought about it, but that 'cultivate the like button' is hella clever.
Thank you for sharing this much needed video. I labeled all of my sanseverias while you’re identifying each one🤗. I thought the last one was going to be the ‘whale fin’.
One of my favourite gardener is back!Was waiting for a new video from you!I'll help you get your gold youtube play button faster by sharing your videos and of course cultivating that like button.Enjoy your day kevin! :)
Great video as Always! 👏🏾😊Quick Question 😋 do you think you could make a video or maybe send me a link to a video of you talking about gardening equipment "Must-haves"; a simple, comprehensive list? I noticed how much easier gardening was when I started to use simple equipment such as gloves and seeing good quality steel rakes and pointed spades/shovels
I have a snake plant that I bought at Fred Meyer for $2.50 plus tax. The tag just calls it a snake plant. The plant in your video that comes closest to what mine looks like is the Zeylanic; but, your light green looks brighter than mine. It's still in the pot that it was in when I bought it. The tallest leaf is around 15 inches. So, it has grown some since I first got it. It's the only snake plant that I have and the only one that I have ever had.
Hi, great video! And this is the first time I'm watching so many varieties of snakeplants. Not to mention the first video of this theme I'm seeing on RU-vid. Maybe more are out there which I don't know about but kudos to you for an original theme, atleast from my side! ☺️ Also your video quality improved a lot from initial videos.. you seem much more confident in your skin. As an early subscriber looking forward to more videos.😺
Amazing who would have know there are so many varieties of the Mother in Law Tongue! These plants were super popular during the Mid Century they are often in photographs of homes during that era. I had a beautiful plant years ago planted in a two foot tall pot the same color of green was really beautiful and a standout in the living room.
I found this snake plant to be pretty interesting and surprised it didn't make the list but it seems there are a LOT of different types! Sansevieria trifasciata 'Twisted Sister' snake plant...not your basic looking snake plant....
I have one that looks like the boncel variety but the leaves stick out at all angles and not as neatly as the one you showed. It was labeled as “assorted tropical foliage” at Home Depot 🤷🏼♀️
I love Sansevierias! Personally I'm not a big fan of laurentii or the gold edged ones, but I do have a couple. Sayuri is definitely a beauty! Black Coral or Black Dragon are two of my favorites as well. Zeylenica also tend to have a decent amount of silver from what I've seen. Oh man Whitney is up there on that high list of favorties and so is Masoniana.
Thanks for this. You didn’t mention tips and the way you handled it made me wonder if that is a thing or if I just made it up. I thought if tip was broken it didn’t grow anymore. Mine definitely are affected by a broken tip
Placing your RU-vid award under a grow light will grow your number of subscribers. 😉 And the moonshine plant is beautiful.. I don't think I've seen that one before.
