I feel like in the houseplant community, the sansevieria or dracaena genus is very underrated because they tend to look very simple and generally grow slowly, since they are used to much higher sun exposure than what we can provide them with indoors. But seeing all these exemplars outside where they can absolutely thrive and grow to such sizes makes me hopeful that people will eventually start to appreciate and love them more! They look absolutely incredible! Thank you for this amazing tour Summer and Chad! Thoroughly enjoyed it! ☺
I think it's nice that you are enthusiastic about Sansevieria and that you like this video ☺ I would like to clarify a few things, Dracaena s.l. (including ex Pleomele and ex Sansevieria) is a genus that has been cultivated for over 200 years, Dracaena fragrans, Dracaena reflexa agg., Sansevieria trifasciata, Sansevieria aethiopica are very old houseplants. Sansevieria hyacinthoides (in a broader sense) was described and cultivated as early as the 18th century. ☺ there are also very large, old collections of Sansevieria in Europe - really huge, such as Leipzig and Potsdam, they also have the collection of Dr. Horst Pfennig took over when he liquidated his collection. Prof. Rauh from the Heidelberg Botanical Garden also created a great Sansevieria collection, but unfortunately this is not so well known. And to call Sansevieria and Dracaena underrated hurts my feelings as a person who works and researches with Old World Asparagaceae. 😬😬 But it's nice to see that people's interest in this genus is rekindled again and again 😊
This might be one of my favorite tours. I love snake plants. I think they are so beautiful and such easy going plants. I want so many more now after watching this!
Loved how knowledgeable he is and he doesn't get so technical that you don't understand what he's talking about. I love his knowledge and his gentle demeanor. Thank you
Both Chad and Doc are very interesting and intelligent people. Nice break from the world we live in now. It's amazing how many snake plants are out there. Another great episode
Thank you for this one Summer! Chad is my absolute favourite. He is so pleasant and interesting to listen to and your questions and comments are excellent as well.
I work at a conservatory in the Chicagoland area. We recently underwent a large construction project in Illinois winter where we replaced whole walls of windows. Our succulent room LOVED the mild cold exposure and all of our snake plants are blooming right now!
Fantastic documentary. Thank you so much for this video, I live in Europe and it's unlikely I will ever be able to go to Miami in person to see Fairchild's collection of Sansevierias so your video was so important to me, have seen it several times in the last few days. Hope you will return in a few years to see how all those species have developed. Cheers and thx again.
SRO, my 2 snake plants in my bedroom bloomed this month (July 2023). Holler atcha’ boy!!! I’ve had them for quite some time; at least 7 years. Bought them from lowes. I’m sharing this bc I asked you a question regarding snake plants when you once had a live question forum. The scent is “bananas” nice...very intoxicating especially during the evening and at night. Peace, love and a hug.
Oh this video is just amazing! I love sansevieria type Dracaenas and seeing them growing so well outdoors there is phenomenal! Thank you so much for showing us😃🌿
Episode 303 is a wonderful in-depth look at an under-appreciated Genus that thrives in South Florida's outdoor gardens! They're so durable that they've been described as "bullet-proof"! I'm looking forward to learn if such lovely Sansevieria species as disticha ('Lavranos 23154' aka 'Samurai') can be successfully developed by tissue culture for use elsewhere in the world as a new unusual interiorscape plant. - Doc Block
Thank you, Summer, and dear friend, Chad! I just love your gardens, Chad, your passion and commitment and knowledge and humility, and deep love and respect for all plants! This was soooo beautiful to watch and to listen to! Your video-- the meditative walk through Fairchild Botanical Gardens is my all time favorite video... I met Chad a couple of years ago, everyone, and he generously took me for a short tour around Fairchild Gardens...highlight of my summer and my visit to Miami! He is just as wonderful (if not more) in person! So smart too! He talked about plants and lizards and kings and queens and history...He truly knows everything! Just beautiful!
I love sansevierias. I have quite a few. They are so lovely and easy to care for. It is so interesting seeing them grow outdoors. Its amazing that south florida is the only area that can grow them outdoors year round. I have had 2 of my plants to flower. I loved this episode. The knowledgeable discussion has renewed my interest in this lovely plant.
I live in Perth, Western Australia. I have some fast growing from my grandmother that have a yellow variegation. They have flowered now. I just love them.
Thank you so much Summer and Chad for the briefing knowledge all about Sansevieria,i do have some of those in my collection but now knowing them with their names is absolutely fantastic 👍☺️❤️
Thank you Summer for this delightful episode I was so thrilled as I have most of these plants crammed in my small open garage. The sansevieria bella grows upright as it matures and grows large.
This is exciting! I loved all your videos about Fairchild and it's so awesome you went back! I always learn so much from them! Thanks for the awesome video!

OMG !! Love this video! I always do love your style, voice, atmosphere, subjects everything!! And he us sooo chill and wise. Love u both! I'm gonna keep watchig the rest of this Fairchild fairytale videos 🤭💚
Wow. I have just recently become educated that there is more to Sanseveria than what we are accustomed to seeing here in the US. I am amazed at the variety of rounded leaf Sanseveria there are. I have a small collection of Sotol plants and I just acquired a round leaf variety native to Mexico. Great video!
What I love about many of the Fairchild gardens is their subtle organization by family… Asparagaceae! it’s crazy when you realize, “Oh, ok, agaves are basically asparagus,” or “all snake plants and spider plants are asparagus”. What do their unopened inflorescences look like! Asparagus. Same with the Orchidaceae, the orchid family, which is under the “asparagus” order, Asparagales. Even their unopened flower stalks look vaguely reminiscent of asparagus. Especially bigger orchids, like Cymbidiums. When agaves flower, the stalk really looks like a giant asparagus. And asparagus ferns, hence the name, have new shoots that can really resemble the vegetable asparagus. Also included in there is Beaucarnea, Cordyline, Yucca, Dasylirion, Hesperaloe, and even hostas & bluebells! I don’t know how intentional that is at Fairchild, or not, but the plants aren’t seemingly organized geographically or by genus.
i never purchased to many of these because of the spikes but i had friends who loved to torture me by giving me cuttings of all kinds of prickly plants. for a few years i lived on an island in sw florida and through "cruel and often bloody" donations i ended up with a pretty big collections of all things pointy. they really thrived in that environment. i now live in the southern Appalachians and the only prickly thing i brought along was a tree aloe. it's kind of a pain because it's gotten so big(over 8 feet tall and weighs a ton). we drag it outside every spring and have a makeshift growing area with lights in the basement for winter. it was a treat to see fairchilds again, i miss going there. near the end you showed us sinus-simiorum, that one is really cool. thanks summer for another great adventure.
My forever favourite is the S. pinguicula, and it's so cool to see that there's this big form of it! Gotta find a way to get my hands on that here in the EU 😍😍😍 but also that mangrove-looking one, oof, how incredibly cool!!!
When I land somewhere stable. Right now, as you probably know already, I'm between Brooklyn and the Finger Lakes ruclips.net/user/flockfingerlakes - in midst of renovations between both places. It's a bit maddening.
I have the francisii for 4-5 years. Cut the top, and propagate the bottom, and now it has a tiny baby from its side. I try to propagate the leaf too. And the cylindrica, oh boy, I've endless supplies of babies from one mother.
This video inspired me to create my own Sanseveria garden earlier this year. I'm wondering what kind of rocks have been used on top of the soil in this garden? If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
@1:07:00 the story about the flooded sansevieria - i find that in the summer, (in full light/sun with a lot of heat) - my snake plants LOVE rainwater and being watered twice a week. They do really well and i tend to water them a lot in the summer. Snake plants just need fast draining soil and they can handle more water than people expect.
I wish the plant labels were large enough to be seen by the public. I get so frustrated going to botanic gardens that don’t have clear labeling! I saw a larger label near a tree.
Not sure if Mick Mitter's garden got featured in this Florida series but if it does it's nice :). He's kind of a gem - hybrid of a horticulturalist and semi-botanist/conservator.
24:45 “which Dracaena hopefully wont do…” in regards to leaf propagating. We know snakeplants, and even agaves, spider plants, and other members of the Asparagaceae family, can root eventually from leaf cuttings. But unbelievably, I’ve gotten a common, everyday _Dracaena marginata_ to root from a leaf! You wouldn’t expect it!
and they do grow well in water, i root all mine in water, the fernwood macado is my favorite i have tons of those they root very well in water very quickly. i would love to have a whale fin, but they are just too pricy for me.
Some of them definitely! A friend of mine has one that had flowered last summer and it smelled very citrus-y!

Interesting: here in dryland Brazil we have a "native"plant which looks like Sanseveria cilindrica.Our region doesnot actully have much African influence as on the coast.I wonder if this is an African transplant even so? It is called "planta de cobra" (snake plant) but people believe that it isbecause snakes hide in the clumps!
It’s a cultivated but naturalized Sansevieria. If it’s a flat leafed one it’s likely Sansevieria trifasciata or even hyacinthoidies. Snake plant is also one of the common names in English too. They have been in cultivation a long time so you’ll find them being grown around the world and they have escaped and become invasive in tropical climates as well.
I feel like in the houseplant community, the sansevieria or dracaena genus is very underrated because they tend to look very simple and generally grow slowly, since they are used to much higher sun exposure than what we can provide them with indoors. But seeing all these exemplars outside where they can absolutely thrive and grow to such sizes makes me hopeful that people will eventually start to appreciate and love them more!

Oh my gosh Summer what a treat! I could listen to him all day.
You're in luck because we have more from the always informative, soft-spoken Chad :)
This might be one of my favorite tours. I love snake plants. I think they are so beautiful and such easy going plants. I want so many more now after watching this!
I used to think Sansevierias were boring. I fell in love. They're beautiful!
Loved how knowledgeable he is and he doesn't get so technical that you don't understand what he's talking about. I love his knowledge and his gentle demeanor. Thank you
woww.....nice plant tour
Both Chad and Doc are very interesting and intelligent people. Nice break from the world we live in now.
It's amazing how many snake plants are out there. Another great episode
I have fallen deeply in love with Mr. Husby and his lovely tours. Thank you, Summer!
My absolute FAVORITE plant species.
Love hearing all the justification of still calling them sansevieria. So much knowledge shared! 🙌
Great fun and very knowledgeable sharing ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for this one Summer! Chad is my absolute favourite. He is so pleasant and interesting to listen to and your questions and comments are excellent as well.

Snake Plants are my Moms Favorite Plant. Have one in my Garden 👍☺❤
Fantastic video. Chad is so humble and generous yet such a fantastic wealth of information.
Snake plants are beautiful in their own kind either indoors or outdoors it’s just how you represent them.
Fantastic documentary. Thank you so much for this video, I live in Europe and it's unlikely I will ever be able to go to Miami in person to see Fairchild's collection of Sansevierias so your video was so important to me, have seen it several times in the last few days. Hope you will return in a few years to see how all those species have developed. Cheers and thx again.
And we are back at Fairchild! Thanks Chad and Summer for this new feature. This genus is just amazing
I enjoy these field trips so much :-) Thank you for making them.
Tank you for this journey to fairchild tropical garden!
This episode was so enjoyable that it needs a second part on new additions and growth of the beautiful specimens.
Wow! Thank you, I love Sanseveria and adore your tour videos.
Absolutely fantastic thank you Chad for the tour.
SRO, my 2 snake plants in my bedroom bloomed this month (July 2023).

So many interesting varieties. I only have one in my collection. Thinking about maybe 2 or 3 more. Thank you for taking us along
I really love these plant tours. Thanks so much for continuing to post them.
Thanks for the tour Summer and Chad Husby! 🌵
Oh this video is just amazing! I love sansevieria type Dracaenas and seeing them growing so well outdoors there is phenomenal! Thank you so much for showing us😃🌿
Great video. I need some different sansaveria.
More of this Sansevierias tour pls very nice to see Sansevieria plant on land not on pots
Come to Florida. They are all over in the wild here in Florida.
Episode 303 is a wonderful in-depth look at an under-appreciated Genus that thrives in South Florida's outdoor gardens! They're so durable that they've been described as "bullet-proof"!

Good to see Chad in action!
Que maravilloso apoyo tu canal
I'm loving those "fan" shape plants. I only have 4 varieties. It looks like I need to do some catching up.
Wow this was so entertaining plus you got lot of knowledge. The best 1:14:06 of this morning💚💚💚 loved it!!
What a WONDERFUL tour and video😍, thank you so much for sharing!! Greetings from my succulent glasshouse in wintery Bavaria, Germany!🪴🌵🌱🌺🏵🙏😊
I love me some sanseverias!,,, ❤❤❤❤

Lovely🌺
🌲💐🌳🌴🌵🪴💐🌲
I love plants 💯🫶
I'm a plant lover 😘
thanks for showcasing sansevierias. whats the name of the book again that he mentioned? i cant find it when scrolling back. thanks ❤
It's Bob Webb's book on Sansevieria. The Genus Sansevieria: A Pictorial Guide Book.
Nice yuccas in the background
Oh My god, he is back!!! :D
Wow. I have just recently become educated that there is more to Sanseveria than what we are accustomed to seeing here in the US. I am amazed at the variety of rounded leaf Sanseveria there are. I have a small collection of Sotol plants and I just acquired a round leaf variety native to Mexico. Great video!
Thank you so much for this tour 🙏 The specksii reminded me of my aubrytiana 🙂
Nice to learn about the cold damage being mistaken for fungus issues

Muy lindas me encantaron porque están bien verdes yo tengo pero no lucen así hay algo qle echas gracias xtu tiempo bendiciones 😮❤
I like Sanseviera...Watching ATM
Thank you! And PLEASE MORE INFO AND TOURS ABOUT THIS UNDER APPRECIATED GROUP OF PLANTS!
i never purchased to many of these because of the spikes but i had friends who loved to torture me by giving me cuttings of all kinds of prickly plants. for a few years i lived on an island in sw florida and through "cruel and often bloody" donations i ended up with a pretty big collections of all things pointy. they really thrived in that environment. i now live in the southern Appalachians and the only prickly thing i brought along was a tree aloe. it's kind of a pain because it's gotten so big(over 8 feet tall and weighs a ton). we drag it outside every spring and have a makeshift growing area with lights in the basement for winter. it was a treat to see fairchilds again, i miss going there. near the end you showed us sinus-simiorum, that one is really cool. thanks summer for another great adventure.
Thanks 🙏
Hi great video. So I've been wondering since these are growing in sand have I been using the wrong mix using potting soil?
I enjoyed your visit with him. Can you tell me what the plants are planted in besides rocks??
My forever favourite is the S. pinguicula, and it's so cool to see that there's this big form of it! Gotta find a way to get my hands on that here in the EU 😍😍😍 but also that mangrove-looking one, oof, how incredibly cool!!!
Summer how do you resist not asking for cuttings on these vids… I’d be going crazy
You can’t show that in the vid…
Cuz I promise it happens!
Please make video on your house plant tours... It's been so long we haven't seen your plants...
When I land somewhere stable. Right now, as you probably know already, I'm between Brooklyn and the Finger Lakes ruclips.net/user/flockfingerlakes - in midst of renovations between both places. It's a bit maddening.
It was a mistake watching this. Now I have a bunch of hard to find Sansevieria on my wishlist 😭
Very interesting video! I am a fan of the genus Sansevieria ( Dranseviera or Sansevena 😂!!! ).
Nice video content
I was exploring Boot Key, near an old dump on that island and I found a big stand of the Spear, Cylindrical type.
I have the francisii for 4-5 years. Cut the top, and propagate the bottom, and now it has a tiny baby from its side. I try to propagate the leaf too. And the cylindrica, oh boy, I've endless supplies of babies from one mother.
This video inspired me to create my own Sanseveria garden earlier this year. I'm wondering what kind of rocks have been used on top of the soil in this garden? If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Brilliant video. One point of contention - there should be more close ups, like right up close.
Wow 👌
@1:07:00 the story about the flooded sansevieria - i find that in the summer, (in full light/sun with a lot of heat) - my snake plants LOVE rainwater and being watered twice a week. They do really well and i tend to water them a lot in the summer. Snake plants just need fast draining soil and they can handle more water than people expect.
Exactly! 💚
I wish the plant labels were large enough to be seen by the public. I get so frustrated going to botanic gardens that don’t have clear labeling! I saw a larger label near a tree.
I was lucky enough to get a sanseveria obake. I am curious if that is the correct name. It’s thick bat like leaves are very interesting!
Not sure if Mick Mitter's garden got featured in this Florida series but if it does it's nice :). He's kind of a gem - hybrid of a horticulturalist and semi-botanist/conservator.
24:45 “which Dracaena hopefully wont do…” in regards to leaf propagating. We know snakeplants, and even agaves, spider plants, and other members of the Asparagaceae family, can root eventually from leaf cuttings. But unbelievably, I’ve gotten a common, everyday _Dracaena marginata_ to root from a leaf! You wouldn’t expect it!
i have grown them for 50 plus years, and i dont have the plain ones any more, i like the moonshine and the small varitys, they are snake plants
what were the plant grown in outside and how is it watered
Maybe they are planning on making plant labels like the one on the orchid.
and they do grow well in water, i root all mine in water, the fernwood macado is my favorite i have tons of those they root very well in water very quickly. i would love to have a whale fin, but they are just too pricy for me.
Does anyone know where I can get the book online? I can’t seem to find a seller :(
To my knowledge, Oeceoclades was recently reclassified into Eulophia.
Interesting! Will have to take a look into that.
Mantap
IM IN PLANT NURD OUT HEAVEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what was the tree in the background at 47:17?
😍😍😍
Can you show the map location of the botanical garden please
+/-50 varieties is way too small of a number speaking of the number of hybrids nowadays. And a lot are truly unique and lovely.
These snake plants make lifelong friends plus clean the air and diffuse or absorb radiation from tech. Maybe it will help❤
💚💚💚💚🥰🌿🌱
Are the flowers fragrant like dracaena?
I would imagine so
Yes, often very fragrant, but only at night
Some of them definitely! A friend of mine has one that had flowered last summer and it smelled very citrus-y!
Interesting: here in dryland Brazil we have a "native"plant which looks like Sanseveria cilindrica.Our region doesnot actully have much African influence as on the coast.I wonder if this is an African transplant even so?

They have been in cultivation a long time so you’ll find them being grown around the world and they have escaped and become invasive in tropical climates as well.
Meaning the gravel it was grown in
I wonder why they don’t have the plants labeled?
They do, There are labels at the bases.
No offense...but this guy reminds me a Neil Breen...
