Plant Spotlight - My Sansevieria masoniana (aka whale fin) 

I kept my Whale fins in an open area in my rooftop. It has adopted with the hot sun, rain and mild winter weather. As I live in the Southeast Asia, we don't experience extreme cold weather here. Despite of being in the open area, all my Sansevieria plants are growing nicely and they are healthy too. I watch your videos. Thank you for all the important details. Take care!

I believe yours may be an aubrytiana, which is sometimes nicknamed jaboa. I spotted it right away in the thumbnail. Mine is my favorite sansevieria! Yours is looking so beautiful.

Your Sansevierias are BEAUTIFUL Bill :-D I love Sansevierias, and your variegated one is a stunner, and WOW at the size of your big masoniana its INCREDIBLE, I grow mine under the grow light in our Kitchen, thanks so much for sharing the wonderful update, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX

My daughter bought me a one leaf specimen for Christmas last year, and it grew one leaf this year. It is a short outer variegated variety. I have it in a mixed pot with other sansevieria for now, until it gets bigger

Hello Bill, I've been wishing for a whale fin!🙂 The spring stock I found at our local nursery were quite a disappointment! i visited them frequently, but they were very beat up and the price was simply out of my range. Plus, they were in HUGE 3 gallon pots, which I couldn't manage to lift or move..🤔. I mentioned my wish to a lady in my local plant swap and she was happy to gift me a whale fin that she had dug up in Florida this summer! I repotted it in good cactus mix and she sits on an East facing window for about 6 hours of morning light. She's a very pretty fin!😌 As luck would have it, I was gifted another fin from another lady in the same group, but it's in poor condition. Same cactus mix and window, so I am hopeful she will at least shoot a baby.... I concur with more light for snake plants, it really boosts their growth. Mine love being outside in the spring/summer (zone 6 a/b)

Спасибо за видео !

my favourite is the sansevieria zeylanica. when i started at university i got a one leaf plant from my mom, it didn’t grow for a long time. one hot summer day it got sun burn and only the lower half of the leaf was left. i started to care more and more and now, 7 years later, it is a full pot with large and tall leaves. new leaves have cool patterns as well

About four or five years ago I bought a pot of S. cylindrica at Walmart. When I got it home I found out that the grower had rooted about ten leaves and jammed them altogether in one pot. I separated them out and gave most of them away. It took the ones I kept about three years before they sent up any growth. They are nice plants and I'm glad I took the time and trouble, but they are not fast growing plants.

I'd LOVE to have a giant one like this. I bought one of the smaller ones in hopes that maybe it will eventually bulk-up in size. So far it has grown only two leaves, but they do seem to be getting larger, but both the new ones are skinnier than the original leaf. It's near a very bright south facing window so it's getting pretty ideal light conditions. I've had it since summer 2019, so about 1 leaf per year is accurate.

Waaaau.... So enormous.... Gorgeous. I can't get such one in Slovakia. 👍

Wish I could squeeze in a masoniana, but I have so Many Orchids indoors (over 100) they are taking up all Prime spaces.

Yesterday I watched your previous video and today I am watching this update feeling excited thanks for sharing All the best

My faves are masoniana and sayuri! I'm envious of how all your masoniana leaves (stalks?) go straight up. Mine splay out in all directions, giving it a huge footprint.

Those are beautiful.

Been wanting one ever since I found out about them! Finally a starting is arriving in the next day or two. Looking at all the comments and some other videos I think I'll start a journal on my newer plants. When I got them, their size, soil type, sun exposure, care, etc.. Heck, might even include sketches of them too! Regardless, the info will be there when I need it. The human memory does strange things as we get older! LOL.

Beautiful, I'd love one.

Очень люблю сансивиерии, планирую купить в коллекцию мансониану. Мансониану очень красивая. Спасибо за видео

Those are beautiful

Those are beautiful, will you consider selling one of the leaves?

Hey, I kinda think your whale Fin is a Joboa. I have one an it’s 47in. The leaves look very similar accept the Joboa gets taller.

Wow! Big I just got one it has one leaf so far.

Loved the update, they look great! I always enjoy your videos! I purchased a variegated whale fin at Vermeer's in Welland, it came planted in coco coir, I am thinking of taking it out and giving it some more appropriate soil. Do you think I can do it now or should I wait till spring? Also, I agree with you, the S. Kirkii is fantastic!

Mine are doing well, but would like it to get larger???? What soil do you use ???? Love your videos!!!! JR

She's a real beauty! 😍

It looks like you have a Sansivera’s . I have one. Not sure how to attach photo here. I ordered a Whale Fin, waiting to see how it comes. Supposed to be rooted and not planted. Wish me luck 🤞🏽

Did you ever want to separate your whale fin? I like to go to your house and stealing them because is beautiful. Thank you for video

You get can miniature leaves (2 inches max height) if you torture the rooted cuttings. My leaves are in low light and the whale fins doesn't get above 2-inches tall.

💚

wow so big sir

Just beautiful. I can't get one in Ireland 😐

I got mine this year and now it has two pups on it! I am losing my mind!

is your variegated one going to get as tall as your large plant?

Did the leaf you cut and propagated last time make it?
