Oh, I have that last one. It is a weed here if put into the ground. I have some in a pot and it gets treated really badly. I think I should give it a break and move it this winter so it gets more light and water. I got it from a friend who had planted a few under some trees in his yard. After a few years it had taken over that whole side of the yard so he was pulling it all out. Mine has ended up behind a door and I forget to water it most of the time. It's still putting out new stalks though, and they are about a meter long, some longer.

Jonna,
Try using some Round-up. Small amounts. I have heard that it caused some mutation in the new generation offspring. Some varigaited. Use on the ones you don't care about so if it kills it, no loss. This claim was disputed on my other garden web. One man said it works. Turns a $4 plant into a $80 plant but what if it wasn't stable. It's like buyer beware. But if you can and do experiment. Please keep us informed.

I don't think so, I'd rather not have any roundup in my garden and I'm not positive they sell it here. I believe that something supposedly chemically the same thing is sold but I've never needed to get any. My garden is small and I keep the sans in pots so they don't take off. Interesting that roundup causes that mutation though, I can imagine that the unscrupulous sellers would love it.

Thinking of letting these loose in my front yard haha. Will bacularis survive heavy rains?

If they have good drainage I think they would do fine in heavy rain. We get monsoon type downpours almost daily in the summer.

Gonna stick some in my front yard, the bermuda grass there is too boring anyway.

They are not hardy here, so must be excavated again and brought inside for winter, but I put them in the ground too. This year they are at my Mom's house. Since I'm not on site every day to monitor thirst, I put them in a lot LESS sun than other spots where I've put them in previous years. I put them here in April and there are babies popping up already. The fastest way to grow more Sans.



Last summer we had record rains, flooding, but Sans weren't bothered at all. These are not the same species that you asked about, but mine were quite happy with all of the rain and multiplied to about quadruple the starting number of rosettes that grew sooo fast. As long as the soil drains well, not muddy after the rain, I think your results would be good. Please give updates and pics!

Jonna, we don't find it necessary to use chemicals in the yard either. When I see a sprout, I pull it while it's still small. I don't use any plants that aren't well-behaved, though my Mom is just now finally getting over the novelty of 'hardy house plants.' She put spider plant and asparagus ferns in the ground. I said they'll have to be dug up but she was in denial for a while. Finally, when it became obvious she would soon not be able to see her other pretty plants, she agreed to let me dig those up. LOL, I think she secretly enjoyed it. But I got the last laugh when I brought all of the material to my compost pile.

This pot is plants that were in the ground last summer, plunked into this pot to come inside for winter. I decided to leave them in their pot this year. Really enjoying looking at this combo, with a cane Begonia and Tradescantia pallida. Just took this pic yesterday.

Will take pics tom. Will stick rooted leaves in the ground and hope they grow like weeds.

Spitz - they will

Tiffany - really nice combo, they look good together

Hope it survives our weather.

Repotted sans suffruticosa.

Sans stuckyi or..?

Spitz,
Keep up the reporting. Nice to see so many different kinds. Myself, I am mostly into the Sans. tri. futura types. Nice colors and grows nicely in a home envioment. But if I was like you, I would do the same. Well doing.

Bought pups and offsets from a hobbyist today, and my first bat!

That's a nice bat. It has some variegation in it. They go for big bucks. good find on your part.

Hallii blue bat, the guy just cut it straight out of his mother plant, $3 with roots and a pup! No variegation though, that's the inner edge of the leaf. These bats look a lot better in person, never liked them in pictures.

Overpotted my patens in a painted terra cotta pot. Breeders here actually recommend overpotting to promote growth. In full sun and rain, too.

Loving these blue bats.

It is such a shame we can not trade. Your plants are looking great. Nice collection you'll building.

This is mine. Its about a year and a half old. It was pretty small in comparison to now. I keep it next tobthe window most of the year.. I dont get direct sun but it is pretty bright and it just keep growing..lots of new growth around the outside the original plant. Im not sure when to repot it though Im afraid it will tip over at some point..lol and I had absolutely no clue they could flower! What causes it to start? Age .. conditions?
