I definitely notice a huge difference from the one I have in lower light vs. the ones in brighter light. Yes, they are tolerant (stay alive) of low light, but look SO MUCH better and thrive in bright light.
Thank you Nick, the sansevieria is one of my favorite plants of all time. My mother has a snake plant that is about 30 years old . She has given cutting or babies to her friends, neighbors and family from the same mother plant, which is maybe the main reason I love this particular plant. I love,love your channel, stay safe
I turned my whale fin for some reason this morning, and it has a baby!omg - so much excitement! It’s done nothing for months, maybe a year, so I was beside myself with joy!
I love that you made this video!! Snake plants are one of my favorites and I feel like they’re so underrated. I purchased 3 online at the beginning of my plant obsession, and in my care one of them has grown a single leaf that is twice the height of the others in the pot. It’s crazy and I adore it!
😲😲😲😲😲 Wow - that's impressive!! What are your most rare/fave ones of that 40+? Just this week I adopted a whale fin, a "tough lady", and a samurai too, lol. Having passed on a 10" Bantel's last year and *still* regretting it every single day 😭 I never pass up a unique Sansevieria now!! Lesson: learned.
Nick, I am SO grateful that I found your wonderful channel! You're so pleasant and down to Earth and it's very relaxing and informative to watch your videos. You have such a beautiful face and smile, too, you're a natural :) Thanks for being You, King.
I’m new to your channel and I’m already such a huge fan of your content! When you mentioned the white terra-cotta pots I thought it would be awesome if you made a video painting or decorating those pots as a way to “revamp you’re current pots”. Thank you for all of the knowledge you share and making it entertaining ❤️
Bantel sensation has to be my favourite. It was Moonshine for a long time .I sit and watch it often. It was a gift from a plant friend's garden and I am so grateful. Stay safe Nick and thanks for sharing.💚💚
Wow your snake plants are so beautiful. I think I like the Black Gold One of yours. I do have the Bantel Sensation & your are right it is very unique on how it looks. I only water mine once a month & it is doing great. I had no idea that the babiies grow from the bottom. Love your channel & please stay safe.
I absolutely love the variation of Sanseverias! I am still on the hunt for the Starfish Cylindrica. Such a beauty! I have a Whale Fish that I absolutely love! Two years ago I purchased the Bantel Sensation which is a beauty. However, I think I repotted prematurely and as a result have overwatered. Many fronds have died back over the winter and I have reduced the amount of watering to every two weeks. Also, I have her approximately 5ft from the window. No new growth yet. ...should I begin fertilizing? .. Absolutely love your channel! ❤
I never realized that I was growing a collection of snake plants until recently. They're all pretty new and they do very well with my cacti, gasterias, and other chubby dubby plants. Most of mine are rescues including the first - a cylindrica. It was braided and had all that gross glued gravel on top. I dismantled the whole thing and now it's Plant Gone Wild. I have two that are nearly black and I loooovvvve black plants. I'm not really sure exactly what they are, but one just came to live here today. I nearly did a dance in Home Depot when I saw it. I thought it was a Whitney, but the edges are yellow with the zig-zags and I'm not sure. I adore my Boncel, another rescue. Someone broke the main root and the store let me buy it at 75% off. It's being held in place by large river stones and I'm sure it's rooting. It can now stand upright if I remove one or both of the supports. Then, there's the Hahniis. I have the first one you showed and a little black number. Just stunning. I have two sweet, normal looking snakes, too. I can't decide which of them is my favorite. I want a Masonia, but they're so rare and overpriced that it will have to wait a while.
Ohhh.. I hear you...😊 If I start talking aboutbmy Sansevierias - noone can stop me. I went yesterday to my local nursery and engaged all people working there in one hour talk about Sansevierias.. And I would still loved to talk more.. We have one shop here - a type of house items, building materials and some gardening things and plants.. They have a discounted section and I buy some of my plants there and then revive hem - it is so rewarding - a huge pleas8e seeing them growing properly later.. 😊🤷♂️🍃
@@elenagorba9096 I think most of my Hahnii are from the discount section. I acquired a few more this winter. One that was full price is a Hahnii and it's almost completely yellow with a slim green edge and the small stripe of green down the center. I don't know what it is, but it's a showstopper. Of course, it doesn't grow, but that's life with heavy variegation. I'm sorry I missed your comment.
I have a moonshine and kept it about 7' away from a south window. It darkened quite a bit, so I've since moved it to a west facing window that gets a lot of light that bounces back from a white wall outside. I let the light filter in through a curtain once the sun starts setting. The silver color is slowly returning.
Great video and great SANSEVIERIAS! I recently purchased the Trifaciata Moonshine variety and she is a beauty! P.S. I really don't like the Dracaena name. Take care and be safe!
Sansi’s - great plants, very structural look - particularly when grouped together. Keep the vids coming - plants are those hope-filled sentinels growing in our homes.Thank you.🌱
Gorgeous collection! First time I've seen those varieties except for the Bantel. Had it but killed it even though I could take care of my other sanseverias.
🙏 Great job I loved the content and you seemed happy and relaxed talking about these plants today. I’m on the hunt for some of those varieties ...#1 is starfish for sure. I also purchased 3 small white terracotta and I can’t decide if I like the broken in look or not.
Hi Nick thanks for filming one of the best, plants i have found to survive my "care"! I was sent some rooted S. Kirii last year, yes they are very rooted, but have stayed like that ever since, i realise they are very slow growing, and their leaves feel like wood. I thought them so pretty, but they are just 3 4" cuttings in a pot, same as when I got them.... Am I being impatient? Jane
Only watching this because I'm such a huge fan of yours. Not a fan of sansevierias. I prefer my plants to actually move in a breeze. Do have the starfish plant though and I can't wait for it to look like yours. Have a great weekend self quarantining!
Interesting, your Gold Flame has some 'normal' leaves but mine doesn't have any of those. I wonder why this is. I want that Bantel Sensation one, though. It's gorgeous.
I just bought a starfish or cylindrical snake plant in Florida it’s so cool ❤️👍🏼✌️I left my mom a cutting and I heard it may revert back to a more common snake plant we shall see ✌️
I have been searching for a sansiveria samurai since I’ve been into house plants, jealous you got one for $3, I’ll have to keep my eye out next time I go to TJ’s
I recently saw someone on Facebook with a Laurentii striped sansevieria, but instead of the usual bright yellow edgings (which I'm not super thrilled about) his had white (or cream)! I'm also kind of lusting after a variegated Whale Fin (yellow striped).
Of my dozen sansevierias my faves are the samurai dwarf (named Tomoe Gozen or Lady Tomoe after a famous female samurai), the moonshine and cylindrica (I have the columns - there's just something very majestic about them growing that way).
I nearly killed mine, cause i thought i put it in the southern window an watered it nearly as often, as in the northfacing window.... you give me hope!!!! Greatings from germany
@Nick Pileggi If I send you a photo of my dwarf sansiveria do you think you could me identify it? I’ve google searched and can’t seem to figure it out!!
For some reason I always get rot issue with the hahniis. They're planted in cactus soil with extra perlite and gravel added, and I water them only once per month. I've had three hahniis and all experienced rot issue. I have a regular sansevieria that I take care of the exact same way as the hanniis, and it's doing fine.
I was gifted a snake because the guy was moving his office, it's so tall and great but...it's ina vase with water!! Should I put the plant in soil or leave it in water? The man has been in his office for 15 years.
I wonder what Nick's opinion on this is. Personally I've had a very low success rate when moving established plants directly from water to soil. Gradually adding compost to the water for several weeks first seems to make the transition less stressful but it's no guarantee. If it's a big plant I'd consider taking some leaf cuttings and trying to propagate those first just in case. Of course if your plant is variegated know that the plants you grow from cuttings won't be. If it's doing well in water I'd also consider leaving it there. Just be careful to change the water regularly to avoid mineral build-up or always only give it distilled or rain water. Good luck.
@@karmaarachnid8345 WOW. this is a great response and thorough thank you! I think so too I think I should leave it. I'm going to get a new vase with distilled water.
@@dchardinaycole5944 If I may add one other small piece of advice then: A plant living in water may survive for years, but it won't grow unless you give it some source of nutrients that it would otherwise get from soil. My favorite way to feed such a plant is to grow it in dirty water taken from a freshwater aquarium. When I don't have access to aquarium water I will use any water soluble plant food, but it is very important to never give it too much or the roots will burn and the plant will die. Always error on the side of giving it less. A few granules of orchid fertilizer once in a while seems to keep my plants in water growing.
haha i'm getting me the samauri for self defense! Definitely cooler than a bat hanging around. I LOVE sansevieiras! My fav is the bantel's sensation but something was definitely wrong with the one I bought. At least it's still alive!
You are such a joy for me to watch during our "stay in the house" time. My #1 wish list plant is a little Bird's Nest Sansevieria. May have to order it because none of the big box stores in my area carry it.
How do you know if your snake plant - especially the more structural ones- are ok? I am so confused as to how to gauge if they are getting the right care.
Hey Nick, thanks for the video...my sansveria has been yellowing at the tips, and then browning and crisping off. Any tips/ideas as what can be the cause?
Am I the only one that hates the name dracaena for them?
summer join chat, haha
mariosmbria, I’ll always call it a Sansevieria.
Nope, don't like it either.
mariosmbria No, your not! 😀
mariosmbria No, you arent, i also hate the change. These are and will always be SANSEVIERIAS, lol.
I definitely notice a huge difference from the one I have in lower light vs. the ones in brighter light. Yes, they are tolerant (stay alive) of low light, but look SO MUCH better and thrive in bright light.

Love your Sansevieria collection. They’re healthy and happy.

How not to appreciate a video which shows so much love towards the Sansevierias ^^?
Personally, my favorite is Sansevieria trifasciata 'Black Coral'.
My obsession with sansevierias took me to 40+ and I love them all
😲😲😲😲😲
Wow - that's impressive!! What are your most rare/fave ones of that 40+? Just this week I adopted a whale fin, a "tough lady", and a samurai too, lol. Having passed on a 10" Bantel's last year and *still* regretting it every single day 😭 I never pass up a unique Sansevieria now!! Lesson: learned.

In the past I didn't like snake plants but I have four in my flat now. I adore it.
Love your sansevieria. Especially the gold flame
“Lost its pants” hahahaha! You are truly a joy to watch! Thank you from Singapore!

Right?!?! So cute! 💚💚💚
Love your collection of sansevieria.
Your excitement is everything!
Beautiful collection
Another amazing video 🌱🌿👍
My favorite is (not shown in the video) Sansevieria trifasciata 'Moonshine'.
Bantel sensation has to be my favourite. It was Moonshine for a long time .I sit and watch it often. It was a gift from a plant friend's garden and I am so grateful. Stay safe Nick and thanks for sharing.💚💚
I just picked up a ghost and moonshine to add to my collection. Beautiful choices, Nick!
They are all fabulous I hope to be able to find space for all of. Them in my apartment thanks for a great video ☺️

car honks *THANK YOU VERY MUCH* I love it.
Wow - Bantal Sensation is gorgeous, I've never seen one before. I love Sansaveria, even I can't kill them. They're so easy to take cuttings from, too.
Sansevierias are my favorites, have thirteen different ones currently. Looking to add a silver flame down the road.
Beautiful sansevieria

Such amazing plants
The Flame was spectacular!
I love them too! They are so easy! Yes funky too!
Your plants are gorgeous.
Love all of your “Sansies”. So healthy looking. Some of mine have white spot scaring.
I love the Bantel Sensation, i always on the hunt for one!! At home my fav, don’t tell the others lol, is my moonlight, she is a stunner!!
Gorgeous collection! First time I've seen those varieties except for the Bantel. Had it but killed it even though I could take care of my other sanseverias.
I love these video! I don’t have a single snake plant but I might get one now!
If you ever or when you separate the starfish sanseveria from its pups, can you please do a video?
🙏 Great job I loved the content and you seemed happy and relaxed talking about these plants today. I’m on the hunt for some of those varieties ...#1 is starfish for sure. I also purchased 3 small white terracotta and I can’t decide if I like the broken in look or not.

Interesting, your Gold Flame has some 'normal' leaves but mine doesn't have any of those. I wonder why this is.
I want that Bantel Sensation one, though. It's gorgeous.
I bought snake plant from the 99 cent store for $3.99 and it's thriving.
Love snake plants!!! 💗💗💗 I have a black dragon and it’s my favourite plant!

My favourite Sans: Manolin, Kirkii and the classic Moonshine :D
Very entertaining. I love sans and will never call the dracaena
My favorite. sansaveri is the star sansaveri . Very easy to take Care of.
Love my snake plants, bantel, golden hanii, (sp) black coral are faves, but love all 12!!!

Ur amazing !!!!
I Love sansevieria! Amo de paixão! No Brasil não tem tantas variedades. Pensava...
You are such a joy for me to watch during our "stay in the house" time. My #1 wish list plant is a little Bird's Nest Sansevieria. May have to order it because none of the big box stores in my area carry it.
Perfect timing I ordered a varigated whalefin sansevaria, one leaf, no roots just nubs...well it was a week ago its turning yellow 😫
Oh... How is it doing now - please share. I hope it is fine...
@@elenagorba9096 it died 🤦♀️
Lol, “just in self defense”, lol!
I have a sansevieria hahnii jade marginata that I absolutely love. I still want a moonshine, but haven't been able to find one locally yet.
How do you know if your snake plant - especially the more structural ones- are ok? I am so confused as to how to gauge if they are getting the right care.
Hi, I like all the ones with yellow on them.Have a great day.
Second plant u featured as black gold is actually mermaid. Black gold has yellow trim🤭🌱👌
Hey Nick, thanks for the video...my sansveria has been yellowing at the tips, and then browning and crisping off. Any tips/ideas as what can be the cause?
Where do you order Bengal Sensation
Serpentine Francissi! Why? Because I found one at my daughter's Nursery and not even the buyer knew what it was so...I had to have it!
Even i love sanseverias because of it's resilience
Theres a new variety the night owl and i set it aside at the nursery i work at its so pretty
Senseveria trifasciata bantel sensation is on my wish list :DD
They will always be Sansaveria to me 😀 lovely collection.
Can someone tell me how to differentiate between Bantel’s Sensation and Sayuri?
Bantel's Sensation has leaves that are narrow, and Sayuri has wider ones. That's what I saw on the net, maybe there are more differences..
Elena Gorba thank you 🙏🏼
I picked up the samurai at the store and then put it back because it cut me. 😩 I wasn’t ready.
💚💚💚
in my garden a lot,
Amazing collection! Do you recommend any plant stores in Australia or TH-cam channel? Instagram...? 😅
"if you don't have a bat, grab a sansevieria" lol.
is there a moisture meter you can recommend? the ones i found at home depot did not have good reviews? thank you
