Hello everybody! I'm trying to get a Sansevieria trifasciata Laurentii for my living room.. the thing is.. I'm having problems to find the one that I'm interested on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Snake_plant.jpg If anyone knows where I can get something like the one in the picture, please let me know. Thanks a lot.
Shame you are in the states as over here they are very common. I have one growing happily in my conservatory - we call it Mother In Laws Tongue.
Make a copy of the picture and take it to your local garden center and ask if they can order one from their supplier for you. Look on ebay, you can find all kinds of plants there. You might check craigslist or your rEcycle or freecycle list. Maybe someone has one they are ready to get rid of. Doing a google search for it, I found one place that thinks highly of theirs...$37 for one plant.
Can't you find them at home improvement stores in the garden center, or WalMart, grocery stores floral dept? :-|
tnx to everybody's answer.. I know this plants are pretty easy to find.. (when you're not looking for something so specific..) I'm kinda having that sort of atitude: "I want that one and nothing else seems as good" hehehe But I guess the best to do is to get that picture and try asking the local florist to order a similar one for me (as the moderator suggested)... Thanks a lot again all the best to everybody
I have three of them. Two, I got at WalMart and one from Fry's Grocery(Kroger's) I split one when it got pot bound and I was trying to repot it. They do like to be pot bound but not like this one. It was about three feet tall and really was tippy. I had one in Wisconsin so suppliers there must have them. dooley
