It rots easily if overwatered. Good idea to move it or protect if you expect lots of rain.

I've had mine about a year and a half now, and it is currently blooming spectacularly with two very long flower spikes (see pics at the l...Read Moreink above). So, at least in central Florida, it appears to be a winter bloomer.

I've had it sitting in a garden (potted) on the side of my house all this time (where it receives torrential downpours in our tropical summer rainy season) and the tons of rain never bothered it at all. Our typical winter lows dipping occasionally into the 30's have never bothered it, either.

I've brought it onto my covered back patio for the time being so that I could observe the flowering cycle and am just amazed by the incredible fragrance of the flowers!

I love unusual, easy-to-grow plants like this!

I bought this plant from Wal-mart, of all places, for less than $2 and it has four spikes about1' (12 inches) long each. Really neat plan...Read Moret. Was online researching a lot of plants and succulents I have that were bought blindly and stumbled on the plants genus.

I first got a cutting of this plant from the NY Botanical Gardens when I lived in NYC. I used to keep it inside on a window seat that go...Read Moret some nice sun but not all day. When I moved to FL, I planted it outside. It was getting too much sun and the spears were turning yellow so I moved it to a partial shade area and it's doing great. I like this plant -- it's tough and interesting looking. Easy to care for. It handles our winters that sometimes have brief 30 degree nights. It never shows any problem from that but of course it's only several hours at those temps.

Plant tips serve the cats who like to rub on them, leaving the tips scarred. Not a plant for limited spaces. This one stays outdoors unless there is a severe freeze.

This is a great Sansevieria. It is slow and do be careful, the tips of the plant can poke a eye out! I have mine in a sunny west window i...Read Moren the house, i have had it for 2 years now. Its very easy to take care of. Fertailizer sorta speeds things up, just a little bit. Sends new shoots up often. I have mine growing in a clay pot in cactus soil with Dr. Earth organic fertailizer mixed in and he seems to like it! Might be pricey for a Sansevieria, but is well worth the money. Try to find a well grown plant, seedlings take a while to reach the 2 foot mark.

I love it, no care at all, and is very forgiving. I do water and fertilize reg. during the warm months. I give a positive rating because I believe they are at least named correctly.
