Dracaena masoniana (Whale fin Snake Plant) - 266 of 365
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- After seeing many different species of snake plant, I realize that there are quite a few that look like the whale fin, though perhaps not as wide. My cutting has been giving me quite a bit of offsets, even in slightly lower light conditions away from my northeast facing window, which just shows how prolific and forgiving these plants are. This is #266 of "365 Days of Plants" -and yes, we surpassed the number in which we have less than 100 plants left!
In this video I'll discuss where it is originally native to, where I'm growing it in my home, and basics like light, watering and fertilizing.
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

As wonderful as it is that houseplants have become the *it* home decor since 2019, especially among younger people... the insane price markup on ALL plants is crushing lifelong plant enthusiasts looking to add to our collections or replace a beloved specimen. We're going to have to focus on propagation/division/cuttings to share with one another - tho even this is difficult because Etsy and other person-to-person sites are swamped with novice bargain hunters. Grateful to wonderful vloggers like this and Planterina for making our vocation & avocation so exciting and fun - hopefully in a year or so when everyone is saturated with houseplants folks will be giving them away for free!
Deborah MacEvoy two thumbs up on that👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻okay maybe more, but I totally agree with you💚🙃
it will always be a sansevieria in my heart 🤣
I had no idea they had renamed it! This is definitely on my wish list this year.
I love these guys! I have so many in different pots around my house, some in multiples in each pot and some in single leaf. They are one of my favorites!
I have this plant. It started with just 2 leaves when I bought from my local plant broker about 2 months ago. Now, I got 2 additional new plants from the original one as it pushed out 3 more leaves. I lucked out when I bought this plant 😊 I love my whale fin.
I love that Home Depot has been getting in some rarer plants or just harder to find plants, even Lowe's has been getting a better selection of houseplants. I have a moonshine Sansevaria that I wanted for a long time, but as far as the others I would like I haven't seen them, but I will keep my eye out and keep looking at Home Depot and be hopeful they get some in, I am just not willing to pay a high price for one, I want one but would like it to be reasonable, and anything over 20.00 is not reasonable. Thanks Summer, see you tomorrow.
I got my first moonshine two weeks ago at home depot for $9.99! I went to two and both had at least two on their roll around carts for new shipment. Still looking around for whalefin...
I agree Holly - Home D has been buying from Costa Farms (Angel Plants) and the more we enjoy the rare or exotic, the more they will be bred & brought to market. Let’s also include medicinal & food plants in our demand to help preserve them for the future.
Thank you so much for the video. This is the first time I've seen the whale fin of that age with more then one leaf. This is really fun to see.
After getting a closer up look I see the spots on the foliage are larger patterns. Very attractive!
thank you for this! such a lovely break from a mundane tuesday.
What a coincidence! I just bought this plant yesterday. Usually nurseries here / online sell it at an insane price, but I managed to get a pot (three stems) at Ringgit Malaysia 15 (approx USD5+)! Though they are now not in the best condition (terrible soil situation), I believe I will be able to give them a more comfortable new home :)
I'm so glad you chose this plant. I love my Masoniana! I've only had it a few years and it is a slow grower but I can't wait until it gets really big.
Got mine at Logees Greenhouses in 2012 for $19.95 . In the interim it's filled out a squat 9 inch terracotta pot nicely in a southewest window. The more light the better.
I have been trying to buy one of these forever but they arent coming down in price anywhere 50 for a single leaf isnt reasonable for me
Agree. When they are $30, that is too much as well. Wait a couple years and they will be at a big box store for $15.
bkrbkrl im gonna be checking home depot every once in awhile to see if they get anymore in stock they were only 15 there
@@billyhemingway73 I have found some awesome "want list" plants there: good luck to you.
So happy to live in the Netherlands again. We love plants here and most plants are available here, most ones affordable too! :) It's hard not to plant shop every weekend :p
Mariëtte Tet i finally gave in and had my parents buy me one for my birthday 😅 im happy with their purchase
I enjoy my Whale fin very much, it's growing new leaves and seems happy :) thank you for your videos, they are a huge help for beginners like me 💚
Love the spots on the foliage! I'll have to keep an eye out at Home Depot.
I just got mine today!
Thanks for your videos!!!
This is such a great Snake Plant.
I love masoniana is on my wish list!
gardening
always a combination of the
squalid and sublime...
Here in my country Philippines really they love plant..love watching u..🥰
Dreams and Goals 💚 😍 Cant wait to get my hands on one!
I bought a large one at Food City of all places... like 16.00 for that puppy! Food City & Kroger have low key been hot spots for some of my wishlist plants at a reasonable price 👍
Hi. Another great video💙💚💛🧡❤️💜
These snake plants will always be sansevierias to me. Taxonomists are constantly changing plants into different families and even back, so I see no need for us to change just because they changed it.
Of course I feel this way about poor little Pluto as well: Pluto IS our ninth planet and will be in my mind til the day I die, lol!
I was able to buy (at a much reduced price) a specimen that had some damage but was still 24" tall. I divided it and it has
grown slowly indoors in medium light. The smaller division is in more intense light and recently as "shot" a leaf that is now
20" tall in the space of two months or less. I was astonished I was advised, "water once a month and leave it alone." That seems to work tho I will add an inch or so of new cactus mix as a top dressing next month (Feb) . Thanks for the scale tips, etc.
Love this. Question- I just purchased to baby whale fins (8inch). Will they eventually have an offset?
I have a love for sansevieria/dracena! I've always wanted one of these plants but haven't ran into one yet! I love it!
Nice... my Home Depot needs to get with it! LOL
I have a variegated one and it is lovely. I wish I could get my hands on a regular one. No luck locally, etsy is outrageous. I even got scammed by an online shop who never delivered anyone's whale fine orders.
Oolong Owl the peoples plants? I almost bought one of those but the next day someone made a video about them being a scam and saved me
@@billyhemingway73 yes! Peoples Plant. I was happy to wait as long as I got one but the excuses were moving greenhouses, no social media/customer service, the whale fins grew too big in shipping to greenhouse (which is weird, they grow so slow!). Then they stopped answering emails nor allow social media comments. Almost 6 months later still nothing and had to file chargebacks.
Oolong Owl that’s terrible 😞 I’ve seen a lot of this going on now
Are all of the plants that have recent reclassification because of genetic testing?

My whale fin has 4 shoots but has not added any more since I got it. It looks healthy but as I said is not growing at all after 3 years. What am I doing wrong. Also, it is in a bright north window. Thanks
Beautiful color flower pot
Thanks for sharing🌿❤️
I have a Sansevieria that looks so similar but I don’t think it’s a whale fin. 🤔Maybe as it gets bigger I will be able to tell if it’s actually a whale fin or not.🌿
Home Depot? Interesting I weekly check out my nurseries, Home Depot and Lowe's and have NEVER found or find any of the Whales Fin Sansevieria/Dracaena in my area. This is one that I have on my wish list. I will not give up. Thanks. Love your educational videos.
I got one at HD a few weeks ago. It’s HUGE! 15 inches huge! Only $20
I live in Florida and have dozens of these plants some reaching five feet tall. They can become invasive, love sandy soil, total shade and frequent watering (in south Florida).
One of my favorites! Any idea where I can purchase other than Home Depot? I live on southwest of Florida. Thank you for sharing ‼️
Where can I get one? I really love your snake whale fin. Keep up your good work. B
Mine is about year old now and grew 7 leafs total in half a year now its popping out 2 even bigger leaves ready to explode out of its pot
So izzit a dracaena or sansevieria I'm confused
Hi Summer, do you realize that the new babies dont usually get wider? Mine are tall and skinny even with sufficient light.
In the very first second of this video, you can see the edge of the sansevieria. My silver queen has a brown-orange edge but it otherwise healthy. That's not the same as the scales you were talking about is it? Thanks 😊
hi Summer, I want to have this plant, I hope the Home Depot price is in my budget. Thanks for the video.
goddess131 it was 15 at home depot but they havent had them since
I have baby 4", a 12" and recently got a 24"! Do you think the small one will put out larger leaves eventually?
Mostly it will
Looking like sasevieria jaboa but with trimmed tips. If you trim sansevieria jaboa leaf tip it will grows in its wide more than in high with pointed end🤔
🤔🤔🤔
Hi Summer. Thank you for your cool videos! Where do you get your knowledge regarding plant changing their names? or when they are being categorized into a different species? who decides on those kind of changes? Im puzzled by that
What is brown scale? I have a monstera plant that has some brown scab looking things on it I thought it was the result of a previous injury like a human scab so I never touched it. Many I should scratch it off?
Curare8 Scale is a type of pest that sucks on the sap of your plants. Google to see how it looks like. If you can pick off the round brown spot its scale, if you can’t its just a normal damaged spot that is part of the leaf.
Can you explain why does my whale fin curl inward?
I love your channel and I'm following you on Instagram. I just bought two snake plants (sansevieria laurentii) for my studio room. Will the tip of the leaves damage if they touch the wall or a wooden book shelf?
My whale fin offshoots are noticeably slimmer tho? And they have the same height as the mother plant
These do very well in Central Florida (I have 100's of them growing all over the place have to compost quite a few a year)
She's my President you need to share sweetie. 😊🌱
@@chomama1628 How much do they cost inyour neck of the woods?
Sounds like you would make an absolute killing selling on etsy they start at 40 and go way up to 90 on there nobody is willing to come down if you put them up for 20 they would all be gone in an hour
Plant Dad yes she should
I got a small one with 0 extra pups that grew 7 total leaves in a half year under my east window sky light 😁and rhizome as thick as my thumb in small 8 cm dm pot guess it will break pot if i do not repot it later this year
Is it the same as a rounded shorter one?
How can I tell if what I have is an actual whale fin. TY
Algún día Aprenderé ingles solo para ver sus videos
I got two bare root fins at a rare plant auction last summer. I pretty much ignore them and frankly I'm not sure if they are dead or alive. Presumably if it's still standing upright, it's alive. Haha. I
I just bought one of these with SIX leaves (one of which is nearly 18 inches tall) for only $37. I thought they'd made a mistake with the price and kinda feel like I got away with something, lol. Its still expensive for a plant in my opinion, but compared to the prices I've seen anywhere else it was way too good to pass up!
😂
Never seen one in stores but if seen peperomia agreya all year
Have you or have you heard of anyone experimenting with how long Sanseveria can actually go without water before they die?
cheech911 mine are on 4 months rn because i dont want to rot them since they are in low light and are doing fine
I got a variegated whale fin for $40 + $9 shipping, from a USA seller near me. It had a full root system too; I checked for months. Look for deals online or in stores. Don't pay $100 for a cutting.
Looks like a well planned that you’re having separate well plants don’t look like a regular snake plant looks like the well
How bout watering schedule?
😊👍👌💖
I am please with u not to remove the babies whale fins love to be cluster. I have them all through my home just love them assum plants.
I won a piece & I’m trying to propagate it since it lost its bulb🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
iddybiddyladybug Leeza let me know how that went ? I want to propagate but am afraid still
Sierra Baby it died
Still having a hard time matching the genus Dracaena with all the 'old' Sansieveria.
Dracaena and sansieveria flowers look exactly the same if that helps make sense of it.
Well yes, I guess that is true, but from the outside it is just hard to accept. I guess the lumpers have scored one there. :)
@@donkeim434 agreed. I'm so used to the way it was, as I've been a houseplant collector for 20 years. And also, I'd never seen a snake plant in bloom until this year when the ones at my work flowered. I've also never seen a dracaena in flower, so I'd never have realized it.
Honestly, the changes keep this hobby interesting. Maybe now people who love and have luck with dracaena will try snake plants and vice versa
Happy growing! And remember, we're all students still!
I love advancement and always trust that items like this are advancements. We are learning - and it keeps us on our toes!
i got planty of this sansivera..i want too sell.
I got one 3 or4 years ago. It is huge. In the summer I put it outside on my porch where it gets sun for several hours in the morning.
Мечтаю, что когда-нибудь на канале будут субтитры на русском 😩 понимаю через слово
