    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.

    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!

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 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

    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.

    I was waiting for this video hoping to hear some good news about the ones I have in my yard, but after realizing you didn't include the species I have and a bit of research, I've come to realize that I have a *not* fun project ahead.. I have several Sansevieria hyacinthoides growing in my front yard. We're in south Florida and they've become a nuisance in this area. I was hoping to pull a few to pot and bring inside, but now I see that it's not under the umbrella that are considered for indoor plants and worse yet it's going to take a while to get rid of them all together.
