Hey Tricia,

Moving the plant from a dark location to one with at least an eastern exposure would help. Sans do need good lighting to do their best, contrary to what you seem to have been told. There isn't a plant that I know of that will thrive or even live for long in a dark location.

Maybe i should re word, Its not completely dark, just not bright light, Its next to our couch, but thanks for the imput, would a north window be ok, its filtered light, Thanks GH

A north window would be fine, but I don't think you'll get the tall growth you're looking for without at least an eastern exposure.

Now that i think of it i had the mother in laws tounge in the east window this spring and it had alot of new growth, i did have to move it because my kids kept beating it up, i will some how try to figure a way to get it back in the east, thanks

When it is warm and the plant is growing give it a 10-10-10 grow balanced fertilizer (liquid mix) after you water once a week. About Sept. start it on a 0-10-10 for flowers until Oct 1 The commerical growers have them in a hot house, with high humidity and low light. Like in a forest. 65F to 78F to grow fast, they also may be using a mister. I have never seen them taller than 3 ft. Norma

Chad you hit it on the nail. YOu hit all of the right conditions. Norma

In the other post about size, Joe states he has problems with plants turning to mush when potted in huge pots.

I'm late to respond here, but I think warmth and a big pot are the key elements to a "big" sansevieria. How warm might be a subject for debate, but if I had my druthers, I'd keep mine at 80+

Some of the species are growing out in desert dry conditioins, but under bushes and trees, others grow in coral soil, some grow along a stream, it depends which species you have, I have heard reports that some as high as 6 feet, but needs to be in the genes. Then there are the miniatures, which I love. They get fertilizer from the animals that come by to eat them, but after is rains. Norma
