SANSEVIERIA Sp Nov km 42 No 21837 — Mafinga Tanzania — BLUE FORM • SUPER RARE
Sansevieria sp.nov.(km 42) Dragon Blue form Collection Number 21837 Mafinga, Tanzania • SUPER RARE • Very big and thick leaves, super blue color. I acquired this species in 2009 for $107 + $35 shipping from Thailand + $25 Phytosanitary Certificate so the total price I originally paid was US$167. Now I’m sending it along into the world for others to appreciate. I visit specialty nurseries + attend a lot of cactus and succulent shows. In my experience this extraordinary Sansevieria species is simply never seen anywhere out there. The original leaf pup I bought has now grown several large, robust new plants — and these pups now on offer. An adaptable and hardy species, Sansevieria sp.nov.(km 42) will thrive in any collection. It has low water requirements, tolerating infrequent irrigation. Preferring bright indirect light, it also takes full sun, as well as partial shade (in very hot areas it prefers light shade or morning sun). Sansevieria sp.nov.(km 42) enjoys shade or hot and dry conditions — Under frost-free cultivation it grows well on almost any soil. Very easy to grow and care for, this tough, bulletproof plant can take a lot of neglect yet absolutely flourish. • Drought Tolerant • Suitable for Xeriscaping For sale is a rooted offset pup taken from the strong healthy ‘mother’ plants in my collection as shown in the series of photos above this text. Front & Back views of several specimens typical of those for sale are shown in the photos below this text. ⬇ FRONT/BACK VIEWS of TYPICAL SINGLE SPECIMENS SOLD ⬇ The photos above show Front + Back views of typical single specimens like the one you will receive. TYPICAL SPECIMEN SIZES. You will receive one plant similar to those shown in the photograph directly above this caption. Sorry, please understand that special requests regarding specific specimens or size cannot be accommodated. Thanks. ———————————————————————————————————————— Specimens typical of those for sale are shown in the photo immediately above. This is of course a living product of nature with natural variation. At a guaranteed minimum you will receive at least one good strong leaf with starter roots ready for planting as shown. Like most arid environment plants, Sansevieria has evolved to abandon its roots during long periods of drought, and concentrate its sustenance in the leaves and underground stolons. Therefore your specimen may or may not have extensive root material, though it will have root buds from which new roots will rapidly form and grow once it is planted. ———————————————————————————— PLEASE READ CAREFULLY For sale are 2 gradations of cosmetic visual perfection: Both are in super healthy, prime physical condition. “Very Pretty” means a specimen that is more or less visually spotless as far as natural plant matter goes, pristine as pictured. “Minor Visual Imperfections” means there might be a small healed- over scratch or two on the leaf, or perhaps a bit or normal brown leaf- drying at the tip, that sort of thing. There’s no disease of any kind, just normal, perfectly healthy plants that may have taken a physical nick in the course of their planting and growing : purely cosmetic visuals that won’t affect the plant’s health in any way whatsoever. Gardeners and horticulturists who know how the natural world works, look for healthy genetic stock above all else. They know a small blemish on a leaf, the healed scar of a tiny abrasion or so, will not affect the health of all the beautiful new growth the plants will produce. This variation is for such people — who, as in the words of the classic Joni Mitchell song, don’t mind a spot on an apple for the sake of the birds, bees and the trees. Either variation is a great way to get a fantastic bargain on a nice, super healthy plant specimen. Please choose carefully then, from the variations on offer in this listing according to your own needs and preference. ~ Rooted Leaf Pup ~ You will receive a fine naturally formed reproductive specimen — at least one good leaf + starter roots, ready for planting: healthy and good to grow. • EASY INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED • FREE SHIPPING!
