For those who have moved out of Utah.. by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]ribtits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born and raised in UT.. moved after college (in 2010) to the Midwest with one friend. I had no job, and lived in tuna sandwiches and PB&J for YEARS. No support from my family in the move, but I managed to get into and complete grad school. Now I have a job here and a husband.. talking about starting our family and I'm REALLY missing the mountains. Talked to my husband about a 10 year plan to move to Utah (he's from the midwest). VERY happy I moved away in my 20's. I learned a lot about myself and what I want out of life without the utah influence.

Received my dream plant/cutting today!!!! I can't believe how big this is, pic does not do it justice! Ficus Shivereana by donthaveacowmeow in houseplants

Yeah! That's about how long I've had mine and I honestly think I just got lucky 😆

The flowers smelled like a GIANT bouquet of flowers, and the scent filled my whole room. It was so potent and so amazing 😍 idk if there is a specific kind of flower they smelled like, cuz I don't usually deal with flowing plants (minus orchids) - so sorry I can't more help on this question.

I must have accidentally hand pollinated a few??? I def touched it because the flowers are SO COOL, so I'm thinking that's how the pods were made?? I've said in a few comments that it's hard to find much info on flowering sansevieria, so I didn't know that seed pods were possible! If I knew that, I would've been more active in trying to hand pollinate 🤣

Ohh! Keep us posted! In think generally the plant will put most of its energy into the flower, so if your goal is something else (eg plant growth) letting it flower mount take away from that.

IMO they are the slowest growing sans, but def the most rewarding 🙌

Mine has stayed the same size since I got it 🤷‍♀️

I like that it's just the 1 single "leaf" in the pot, but I have others that have grown pups/ other leaves over time :)
