Snake plants are a new botanical exploration for Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden located in Miami, FL, and Chief Explorer and Botanical Horticulturist, Chad Husby, is eager to share the new collection.
For those who haven’t heard, snake plants (Sansevieria) have been subsumed into Dracaena, which you can learn more about here: https://youtu.be/lB6THTEcZ8U
Also, we have a solid snake plant care guide here: https://youtu.be/_btLlX7UzH8

Thanks for the tour Summer and Chad Husby! 🌵
I have fallen deeply in love with Mr. Husby and his lovely tours. Thank you, Summer!
Fantastic video. Chad is so humble and generous yet such a fantastic wealth of information.
i have grown them for 50 plus years, and i dont have the plain ones any more, i like the moonshine and the small varitys, they are snake plants
and they do grow well in water, i root all mine in water, the fernwood macado is my favorite i have tons of those they root very well in water very quickly. i would love to have a whale fin, but they are just too pricy for me.
This is exciting! I loved all your videos about Fairchild and it's so awesome you went back! I always learn so much from them! Thanks for the awesome video!
Both Chad and Doc are very interesting and intelligent people. Nice break from the world we live in now.
It's amazing how many snake plants are out there. Another great episode

Absolutely fantastic thank you Chad for the tour.

Good to see Chad in action!
I enjoy these field trips so much 🙂 Thank you for making them.
Nice to learn about the cold damage being mistaken for fungus issues
Tank you for this journey to fairchild tropical garden!
Very cool to see so many species!
I always look forward to seeing that a new video of yours has been uploaded!! I have learned so much!
+/-50 varieties is way too small of a number speaking of the number of hybrids nowadays. And a lot are truly unique and lovely.
What a fabulous video…..incredible collection and information…..thanks so much…
What a WONDERFUL tour and video😍, thank you so much for sharing!! Greetings from my succulent glasshouse in wintery Bavaria, Germany!🪴🌵🌱🌺🏵🙏😊
Hi great video. So I've been wondering since these are growing in sand have I been using the wrong mix using potting soil?
@1:07:00 the story about the flooded sansevieria – i find that in the summer, (in full light/sun with a lot of heat) – my snake plants LOVE rainwater and being watered twice a week. They do really well and i tend to water them a lot in the summer. Snake plants just need fast draining soil and they can handle more water than people expect.
Thank you, Summer, and dear friend, Chad! I just love your gardens, Chad, your passion and commitment and knowledge and humility, and deep love and respect for all plants! This was soooo beautiful to watch and to listen to! Your video– the meditative walk through Fairchild Botanical Gardens is my all time favorite video… I met Chad a couple of years ago, everyone, and he generously took me for a short tour around Fairchild Gardens…highlight of my summer and my visit to Miami! He is just as wonderful (if not more) in person! So smart too! He talked about plants and lizards and kings and queens and history…He truly knows everything! Just beautiful!
Not sure if Mick Mitter's garden got featured in this Florida series but if it does it's nice :). He's kind of a gem – hybrid of a horticulturalist and semi-botanist/conservator.
Wow. I have just recently become educated that there is more to Sanseveria than what we are accustomed to seeing here in the US. I am amazed at the variety of rounded leaf Sanseveria there are. I have a small collection of Sotol plants and I just acquired a round leaf variety native to Mexico. Great video!
I was lucky enough to get a sanseveria obake. I am curious if that is the correct name. It’s thick bat like leaves are very interesting!

Can you show the map location of the botanical garden please
I love Chad Husby.
So many interesting varieties. I only have one in my collection. Thinking about maybe 2 or 3 more. Thank you for taking us along
Que maravilloso apoyo tu canal
My forever favourite is the S. pinguicula, and it's so cool to see that there's this big form of it! Gotta find a way to get my hands on that here in the EU 😍😍😍 but also that mangrove-looking one, oof, how incredibly cool!!!
what was the tree in the background at 47:17?
Snake Plants are my Moms Favorite Plant. Have one in my Garden 👍☺❤
My absolute FAVORITE plant species.
💚💚💚💚🥰🌿🌱
Does anyone know where I can get the book online? I can’t seem to find a seller 🙁
OMG !! Love this video! I always do love your style, voice, atmosphere, subjects everything!! And he us sooo chill and wise. Love u both! I'm gonna keep watchig the rest of this Fairchild fairytale videos 🤭💚
It was a mistake watching this. Now I have a bunch of hard to find Sansevieria on my wishlist 😭
Brilliant video. One point of contention – there should be more close ups, like right up close.
