Garden Journal: My GROWING Sansevieria Collection (Part II)
Previously, I have shared with you that part of my bucket list is to rearrange our garden and in the process I have accidentally collected 15 varieties of Sansevierias or commonly known as Snake Plants. Most of my "starters" were given to me as gifts or I got them from local post sale on Facebook Marketplace.

Few months back, I joined this Facebook group about local and international Sansevieria enthusiasts. And how my heart got tickled pink! The number of interesting varieties with beautiful leaf shapes and variegations caught my interest. And just like that, I decided to get a few from another sansevieria enthusiast.
Seller is actually located in a different island, thus my happy mail took a while to arrive. The delay was actually caused by the community quarantines in different areas. Although Sansevierias are known to be hardy, the time frame still made me worry.
After I received my happy mail, which was about 2-3 weeks from the time the seller mailed it, I did a superduper quick unboxing (mainly because I dont know how to set-up my camera). I still didn't plant it right after as I am waiting for the pots I ordered from another seller. By now, the sanses have survived not being planted for almost a month. I took those time to research the plant IDs. Compared to my previous collection, those were actually easy to ID, these uncommon sansevierias caused a bit of confusion on my part especially the cylindrical ones. Thus....
