Sansevieria Masoniana — Masons Congo Paddle : Leaf+Roots Robust Healthy Plant

Description: Root-division leaf pup of Sansevieria masoniana Mason's Congo Sansevieria masoniana is an extraordinary semi-succulent perennial plant species originally collected in Africa, in what at the time was known as the Belgian Congo (then Zaire, today Democratic Republic of the Congo) by Maurice Mason, a renowned botanist and plant collector from Norfolk, England after whom the species is named. It has wonderful long dark green leathery leaves with light green dappled patterns, often presenting unique maroon-red banded edges. The stiff, wide (8-10") leaves will grow quite large — as tall as 6 feet, though typically around 3-4 feet. Younger plants that are frequently divided can remain around 2 feet for several years before very tall new foliage emerges. Excellent as a large houseplant, it tends to tolerate low light levels. Sansevieria is generally a forgiving and tolerant genus ~ fast-growing, vigorous and easy to cultivate. It prefers soil with good drainage and takes well to container culture, suitable for growing indoors as a houseplant, greenhouse plant and in frost-free outdoor gardens. Preferring bright indirect light, it also takes full sun, as well as partial shade (in very hot areas it prefers light shade or morning sun). A hardy species, Sansevieria masoniana will thrive in any collection. It has low water requirements, surviving well with infrequent irrigation. S. masoniana enjoys shade or hot and dry conditions — and grows on almost any soil. Very easy to grow and care for, this tough, bulletproof plant can take a lot of neglect and absolutely flourish. • Drought Tolerant • Suitable for Xeriscaping Very big and thick leaves, super color. Note pencil in each photo to help indicate size. For sale is a rooted leaf specimen or root-division leaf-pup taken from the strong and healthy 'mother' plants in my collection as shown in the photos above. Leaf length and width may vary from what's pictured. Please note well: fully-grown plants with large rootballs already filling large planters as mature showpiece specimens are not what is described & sold in this listing. What is on offer here is a starter leaf pup : rooted propagation stock — strong healthy starter material for cultivating this species, a great beginning for growing out a nice beautiful specimen over time. Sorry, please understand that special requests regarding specific specimens or length cannot be accommodated. This is of course a living product of nature with natural variation. At a guaranteed minimum you will receive at least one good strong leaf with starter roots ready for planting. Like most arid environment plants, Sansevieria masoniana has evolved to abandon its roots during long periods of drought, concentrating its sustenance in the succulent leaves and underground stolons. Your specimen may or may not have extensive root material, though it will have root buds from which new roots will form and grow once planted. —————————————————————— PLEASE READ CAREFULLY For sale are 2 gradations of cosmetic visual perfection: Both are in super healthy, prime physical condition. “Very Pretty” means a specimen that is more or less visually spotless as far as natural plant matter goes, and pristine. “Minor Visual Imperfections” means there might be a small healed- over scratch or two on the leaf, or perhaps a bit or normal brown leaf- drying at the tip, that sort of thing. There's no disease of any kind, just normal, perfectly healthy plants that may have taken a physical nick in the course of their planting and growing : purely cosmetic visuals that won’t affect the plant’s health in any way whatsoever. Gardeners and horticulturists who know how the natural world works, look for healthy genetic stock above all else. They know a small blemish on a leaf, the healed scar of a tiny abrasion or so, will not affect the health of all the beautiful new growth the plants will produce. This variation is for such people — who, as in the words of the classic Joni Mitchell song, don’t mind an apple's spot for the sake of the birds, bees and healthy trees. Either variation is a great way to get a fantastic bargain on a nice, super healthy plant specimen. Please choose carefully then, from the variations on offer in this listing according to your own needs and preference. —————————————————————— ~ Rooted Leaf Pup ~ You will receive a fine naturally formed reproductive plant specimen: at least one good leaf or pup with starter roots, ready for planting — healthy and good to grow. • EASY INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED • FREE SHIPPING!
