| We saw this cute plant yesterday. I've never seen a sans cylindrica before, but thought this was neat. The 6 inch pot was $20, and it looks like 9 plants braided together. Is this kind of display usual for this plant? Would the shape be hard to maintain over time as it grows? Was this price a good deal? |

| I have seen these on occasion. Not sure if the price is good or not but this form of S. cylindrica does make a nice plant. It will be difficult to maintain the brainds in the long term though. the braids that are there will stay fine.....but new growth coming from the base of those leaves will be normal S. cylindrica fans. |

I would love to see them do this. I know there is a trick but just can't see how they do it. I've see this on lucky bamboo which is not bamboo but still almost imposable for a home gardener to do. I can't remember who explained this. Maybe Al from houseplant forum. Any body want to guess how. I think they said they were grown in heat and darkness for several months and then braded.

| Haha! Thanks, purple! I enjoy this pic too. I regret not buying this plant, but if it is meant to be, I'll find this sans again! Haven't been to this store since ( it is 20-30 min north of us), so I'm probably due to head up that way sometime soon :) |

Just looking again myself. I bet that this is 9 stem cuttings and may or may not be rooted. There may be a band on the bottom under the soil holding them together. The soil looks wrong also. But if you like it, buy it. You only live once and it is a small price to pay for happiness. All the money I wasted on so many other things, why not some thing that will be with you for a life time w/proper care.

| Stush, I agree, the fascination isn't just that it looks cool, it eludes explanation, and it's like a flower. It will be perfect for a relatively short time, until it starts making pups and/or one of the leaves passes on. Definitely cool today! Here I am again. |
