Ultimate SNAKE PLANT CARE Guide - Ep 202

[@mikiemcginnes1574]

I love these plants. I have one that is over 40 years old.

[@elenagorba9096]

I literally wrestled a huge Sansevieria (Dracaena) Zeylanica from my dantist's office. They had 3 huge tightly stuffed plants and all were drastically overwatered. They gave me one. When I took it out of the pot - what I saw in that liquid dirt (I cannot even call it soil) - I don't even want to describe. Anyway - I cleaned the roots, cut the damaged ones, dried them a bit and repotted in 3 different pots with a proper soil mixture. It is such a delight to see now 3 nice plants on my staircase... To me - it is like saving kittens...💚🐈‍⬛💚

[@jackiegoodrich1351]

Thank you for saving them! Blessings! Rev. J 😊❤

Omg anyone else think she is the most wholesome endearing woman ever!!

[@rintangazhar]

Damn, Summer Rayne Oakes is the only one who is more like a scientist rather than just KZbinr. Sooo underrated so intellectual, I mean Cornell!. Netflix needs to pick this woman to have a show to spread her humble mission along with Sander of course. Summer, Do you have any plan partaking the UN on Decade of Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030 adapted to your content??? Thank you! LOVE from Equator.

You should check out cerriscapades kzbin.info He's pretty scientific too!

[@TonyGaytanM]

When she was talking about over watering I sighed and looked at my snake plant. I've had her for two years and she's about 1/4 of her original size, mostly due to rot. I've gotten it down now though, she seems a lot happier and is simultaneously pushing out three new stocks! Can't wait for her to be full again. I named her Jane Fonda after the movie Monster in Law 🤭

[@winebox]

I too was an over and sometimes under waterer. I bought a moisture probe from Kmart-yeah, I’ve had it awhile-and it has saved a lot of plants lives. Look into one. They’re around under $20 and return the price in saved plants.

I miss these videos... i wish you did more of these, i remember during covid lockdown, just finding such a safety bubble in your entire channel. I forget about the world, and completely lost myself in your informational videos.

[@xTheMarauders]

Hi Summer, I love your academic approach and taste for funky plants! Makes you far and away my favorite channel to watch (and endlessly rewatch) :)

[@summerrayneoakes]

I'm glad you like to nerd out a bit. Thanks for writing in, watching, and rewatching at that!

[@sillybeeful]

Fascinating, embarrassed to say that I had no idea what I had bought from Lidl (supermarket) and certainly no idea how to care for them. Have to add, Summer I love your jewellery and your top…. And the pots 🪴🐸

[@jencurtis4627]

Thanks for your effort, Summer. You inspire me as a plant lover and a teacher.

[@sophiahadeka5556]

This video is just fantastic. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into researching for these :) so much more helpful than your average KZbin care guide

[@arlenerodrigues5816]

What an informative and interesting video...so much more meaningful to a plant lover going beyond just collecting plants as a trend!

I live in the very dry and hot Phoenix metro. Snake plants are one of the few houseplants that I successfully keep. I currently own a dozen different varieties, sharing pups with my friends. Thank you for your incredible tutorials and staying on point!

[@ameliagraham92]

I love Snake Plants! I think by my last count I have about 35 different types. I just loved this video. Most of the vids. on-line tell me nothing new or I spot misinformation. You, my friend are spot on and have researched the subject so thoroughly as to teach me new things. This is why you are my favorite KZbin Plant Person. Keep up the good work and Happy Thanksgiving.

[@StephanieBacks]

i'm a chronic overwaterer, i have mine in cactus soil in a terra cotta pot. its doing great. its a cutting from my Mom's 30+ year old plant. i boot it outside during the summer, and oh boy they love it. doubles in size every summer.

[@summerrayneoakes]

glad you have such a strong relationship with your snake plant! Thanks for writing in.

[@jorgecanales798]

I had a snake plant planted in a plastic container with very little drain holes and with a regular potting mix with extra pieces of bark. It survived for about 3 months but I just had to amend the soil. I added sand to the soil and drilled more holes on the pot. But, even thought it wasn’t in the best conditions, it’s still grew a little bit because it was outside.

Hello Summer, In Mexico, and perhaps other Spanish speaking countries, the name for the Snake Plant is "Espada de San Jorge" (Saint George's Sword)...much more appealing name than Snake or Mother in Law's Tongue :-) . Great video! Thanks!

I keep them around with my Dracaena marginatas and fragrans and they all look pretty cool grouped together, especially knowing they’re all the same genus now. In fact, when I look look across the board between the leaf shapes and variegation of the snake plants and dragon trees, my eye actually gets it. My attention is always competing between the plants and your amazing outfits and accessories, btw. Lol

You’re really amazing lady.Thanks for educating us.

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

The U.S. Department of Agriculture did research and development of Sansevieria as a fiber source during and after WW2 in south Florida. Fiber was a possible national security concern as much of the natural fiber used in the U.S. at that time was imported. Imports could be curtailed during wartime. Due to the post war advent of synthetic fibers , the program was scrapped . Some of the species and varieties utilized in the program have entered into the nursery trade’s propagation and hybridization efforts.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Do you recall which species they were studying? Would be marvelous to find those studies. :)

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

@@summerrayneoakes - Many of the plants used were not formally described species and were simply assigned reference numbers . I did find some literature stating that the following species were evaluated for fiber production.....Sansevieria guineensis, S. ehrenbergii, S. cylindrica, S. longiflora, S. thysiflora aka S. hyacinthoides, S. trifasciata, S. trifasciata ‘Laurentii’. The last two being found the most promising. ~ Sites I located were; journals.flvc.org, (title search) Sansevieria in Florida- Past and Present. This explains that the research was conducted by the USDA and researchers from the University of Florida Everglades Experiment Station, at locations in Boynton and Indiantown, Fl.. ~ specialcollections.nal.usda.gov list the titles of many reports on Sansevieria research but doesn’t seem to have the reports themselves digitalized. For example, 300-ef Sansevieria- Florida Project 1942 - 1945. ~ Research was also conducted in Hawaii. I know that some of the remnant plants at research plots in Hawaii were later collected and introduced into the ornamental trade. ~ I could email you some of the more interesting stuff that I found, but I’m not sure where to send it.

Hi Summer! I love snake plants/Sansevieria/Dracaenas. I recently watched your propagating video and was so happy to see this video. I love that you go into different areas in referencing the plants. It's very interesting and I learn a little more, but not too much. LOL! You have some varieties that I've never seen before, but would love to find some day. Thank you so much for sharing! Also, love your ring, bracelet and top!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I only have two dracaena. Lucky bamboo and a birds nest. My friend raves about them so I finally got one. I’m happy to say it’s a great plant. It actually has helped teach me to take care of my sansiveria angolensis. It doesn’t grow like it should so I decided to repot it and water it more on the same schedule as my birds nest snake plant.

[@erikm8372]

Here in San Diego, and California in general, these are a staple landscaping, indoor & outdoor plant, in corporate, public & private gardens. At my house, and at my family’s, we have literal “hedgerows” of them. Lol, more like shaded front yard border beds of _laurentii_ & _trifasciata_ …the shape is almost picket fence-like. Then we have like five larger potted specimens (in 3 ft tall pots) of _xylanica_ & _cylindrica_ that are all the height of an average person, easily. I love them. And they bloom yearly! We actually have so many that we can experiment with diff microclimates around the property. Some of our snake plants get pretty hot sun, all day. Mostly the large laurentiis & trifasciatas. But they can become chlorotic. They’re also just as sensitive to tap water as spider plants & some other related genera. Some get sun in the morning or afternoon only; some are in full or bright shade, like ‘Fernwood’, ‘Fernwood Mikado’, ‘Black Gold’, as well as a few bird’s nests, ‘Golden Hahnii’ & ‘Moonshine’ pots. Those I can’t wait to see grow taller. Love the teal blue.
