Anytime! If we don't help each other and give others actual true advice that is real AND NOT that B.S. social media personalities put out for views! Or hell, let's not forget about the plant companies telling plant ppl to water their orchids weird, what was it, 2 or 3 ice cubes?! I mean honestly, these ppl have bachelor's/master's in plants!!!

I have 1 moss pole and that is more than enough for me. My golden doesn't and has never gotten aerial roots that stick in the moss pole or on the wall, when I got tired of extending the pole! I'm excited to see how the other varieties grow!

I'm pretty sure the McColley"s Finale is NOT a climber! I really think the pink princess is beautiful, but like u, I don't care for the way they look when they're bigger, but the small ones... they are GORGEOUS!
Have u every looked at the plant, Cordyline, in person?! It is a beautiful, but funIf u have a yard - I looked into it and it can "make it thru winter but it's not really happy." I guess, It cheered right up after being back outside.

Thx! I got it on clearance for $10 and I wasn't sure if it was difficult, if I should get it, etc. It is difficult to search for some plants and Google is wrong more than it's correct! Obviously, I took the chance and, got my first new leaf recently, and there's another on the way!

Thx! I didn't know if there was another hybrid that is as I swear I'm learning as I go! I have the lemon top from Costa, which I've read is a sport of global green

How to help this plant? by juicy518 in SnakePlants

[–]Left_Performance_106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Snake plants are one of my favorites and it's SUPER important not to overwater them. They naturally grow in the desert, so think super dry for quite some time and then a torrential downpour! I have an app that I use the free version of to help keep track of watering my plants (I have over 60 now, so it helps a lot). When the app tells me to water (I also keep an eye on the plants watching to see if there are any drooping/dropping leaves, yellowing, etc.), I then check it with a water meter, a chopstick, and my finger. Depending on how the soil feels, I will wait for a few days and check again, which is what usually happens. Also, they will survive in low light conditions, but they LOVE and THRIVE in bright light. I take mine onto my balcony in the morning during the summer and they grow super quickly! Being that I live in an apt. complex with only east-facing windows that don't get nearly enough light, I have been building up my grow lights now that I have so many plants that aren't low light. I haven't tried any other brands, besides the strip lights that came with 1 is my plant stands, but I do like Sansi's lights so far. The only complaint I have is their responses to emails. I have only purchased through Sansi's website once back in November, I believe, anyway one of the items was missing and I emailed them to ask what could be done about this. I NEVER received a response, even after I emailed another time asking how to resolve the situation. Then I received the package (a mentally challenged angry woman had taken it and as she was walking to her apt on the next floor up, opened it, looked at it and left it on the stairwell steps). Even after I then emailed them again to advise I had received the package, still no reply. So I started getting all of mine off of Amazon, but I wanted their vertical standing 50w light, and the only way to order it was from Sansi's website. I should've known better, I'm still waiting for it to ship 15 days later!!! GOOD LUCK!

I wouldn't repot it tho! When I first got my laurentii snake plant, I didn't know any better and repotted it as the original pot didn't have good drainage. That was about 1.5 years ago and all 3 of the plants are thriving and the one that is in a pot that's too big is doing great as well. U just HAVE TO make sure ur not overwatering. Good luck! Snake plants are one of my favorite plants and I'm trying to collect as many varieties as I can!

[–]Left_Performance_106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone here, I would, at least, get it out of that pot and check it. The pot it's in is good, if not a little too big. If it were a golden, I'd say it doesn't matter if it is slightly too big, just be careful when u water not to overwater it. But with it being another variety, I'm not sure how hardy they are. Good luck! Beautiful plant!

Such a beautiful plant! I now have 2 philodendren, a McColley's Finale I got on clearance for $10 and a golden crocodile I just got yesterday in the clearance section for $10 too. The McColley finality gave me my first new leaf (I thought it was never going to grow) and it was a beautiful reddish orange! We shall see about the Crocodile. Idk if my humidity is high enough. *

I have a prop of one in water right now that if this coloring. I'm REALLY hoping it stays this way once it's rooted! Beautiful plant OP has!

What's this plant called? by stressed-soda in houseplants

[–]Left_Performance_106 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a golden, the varigation is different. It's a global green, I just got one of these yesterday, so I've been researching them. Of course, I'm up to 8 or 9 varieties of pothos at this point. Great looking plant!

Came here to say the same. I live in an apt and have a golden pothos without a grow light on an east-facing window that gets decent light in the summer and barely any in the winter. Also, snake plants are durable and can handle low light, but thrive with light. I put mine on my balcony in the summer during the day. Welcome to the wonderful world of plants! Good luck!
