Sansevieria trifasciata

Wow, wish I had a spot I could grow this in!

Maybe in Spain?

Very nice! It's commonly used like this here in San Diego, also.

It is practical choice here Delonix, they have lots of leaf eating ants and they do not touch this plant. These ants are amazing. They can strip hibiscus in a day (or rather night)

Yes, not too many bugs affect this plant...maybe just scale.

The ants remind of the snails here. They can strip my Pachystachys lutea plants in one night. Every winter it's the same thing. I'm about ready to remove them all!

Oh, that is too bad. But as you know we have lots of slugs on the Island and they are definitely problem. I use coffee grounds (we drink lots of coffee) and egg shells and copper wire around some plants and it helps a little.

Yes, slugs and snails are very horrible problems here during winter. Summer the snails are not very active.

I've put copper around my Ti Plants (Cordyline fruiticosa). It helps.

How humid is the area where you live in summer Delonix? Victoria is very dry in summer (no rain at all) but we still have slugs and some are dandy. Specially the banana slugs :-) But at least banana slugs are not so damaging as the brown and black ones. And... we have snails as well but not in huge numbers.

During the monsoonal flow which comes from Mexico, it can be very hot and humid. It just depends on how strong the flow is and last. Last summer we had weeks on end of hot, humid weather. We have had heat indices of up to 132ºF (56ºC), although, that's rare. The dew point rarely reaches more than 75ºF (which is extremely high), that's the average dew point for Miami during August. If you have a dew point of 75ºF and an air temperature of 92ºF (33ºC), the heat index is 103ºF (40ºC).

Anyway, these temps usually discourage the movement of the snails and slugs because the morning minimum temps can be quite warm: for example 68- 77ºF (20 - 25ºC) depending on how high the humidity is...and whether you're located on the coast or inland (lots of factors).

:-) That's what I call comprehensive answer Delonix.
Thank you

I guess I could have condensed it. LOL! :>)

It explains a little of what we go through here in San Diego during summer.
