Five species which remain relatively small and have very different growth forms:

Sansevieria parva
Sansevieria concinna - Spoon leaf Sansevieria
Sansevieria ballyi
Sansevieria hallii - Baseball Bat Sansevieria
Sansevieria pinguicula - Walking Sansevieria

Cheers,

Koni,
Welcome to our forum. Nice to have new members. You are out of my league. I am into Sansevieria Trifasciata. The common ones you see every where. I did have some nice people here send me some nice starters of some new kinds. Like Sansevieria Schweinfurhia, looks like an African Spear and Sans. Lavranos '23251' which looks like a agave hahnii cross. I love this forum and all the great people who have helped me thru this past year.

Hi noki,

You can't go wrong picking a Sansevieria, all the ones you mentioned are beautiful. It just depends on the space that you have available and on your personal preference. Sansevieria Fischeri, Baseball bat, Masoniana, Rafilli,and Suffrucitosa all get large. Suffrucitosa and Francissi are both cool spiky types. I would post some pictures for you, but the last link I posted from webshots didn't activate. Go to home and garden webshots page, search for them, and enjoy the beautiful pictures.

Hi Noki,

Am curious what you mean by 'natural' species. Could you pls. clarify?

Marlon suggested an excellent group of plants for you. A nice diversity of growth forms as he said.

Pls. take some time to browse this site. There are lots of great pix & (I think) inspiration here already.

Easily 1/2 of my Sans. are no ID, but usually interesting forms. If you browse the pix here, you'll see I've posted a fair amount of Sans. pix here myself.

I agree w/ the poster before me, it's a question of your likes & conditions I think.

"Natural species"... actually species that you would find growing in the wild. Versus cultivars in the hobby which may be hybrids or clones from mutant specimens.

S. halli is slow growing but they look really awesome as they get larger and earn their "baseball bat" name! S. masoniana is impressive for its size. S. fischeri is attractive even in its juvenile form. S. suffruticosa is nice and the spoonleaf types are interesting. All of these have been mentioned by you and others above.

Don't forget pinguicula! It's a WONDERFUL species with a very fun growth habit. Staying small-ish, (I have a compact form) it will walk it's way across a pot over the years.

Fischeri is one of my favorites and it is a fast grower. I'm away from home and my list and garden so can't give you more input. One i really like is not a "natural" but one bred for rope. It has a name like FL-13 (not exactly correct) but this sans. is very tall and thin like a spear growing 5 feet. Very cool. Have fun!

I like all the ones that Marlon suggested. But include the so called miniture cylindrica, just keep it in a small pot if you want it to continue to grow small and interesting.Norma

If you can find S. stucki get it. Give it a big pot and it will get very large. The bottom of the leaves are 5" around. It looks like a giant S. cylindrica var. cylindrica
but only one leaf to a growth. Mine is in a 25 gal. clay pot which I hope it will not break. My plant is only 2 years old when I got it, and it has put out an off set each year. It had not roots and I paid $50 for the cutting. This came with documentation from the Huntington Botanical Gardens I now have more species then they do, and of course still looking for more, yes I will trade. By the way there are more then one form of S. masoniana, one tall the other short.
