Narrow Leaf Rubin (sword plant)

Post by nfrank »

Is anyone still keeping this plant? I no longer have it.
I think i may have shared it with members of GWAPA and would love to get it again. Typically, it produces many nearby clones.

This picture shows a cluster of plants and the leaves are approx 18-20" long.

There is a commercially available plant with this name, but its submersed grown leaf blade has wavy edges.
Thanks,

I know shared with me, but I don't have it any longer either. I believe I sold plantlets at some auctions, so hopefully someone else does...

I have something similar to this, but I got it as "Red Devil" and the leaves are around 6 to 8 inches long. It just recently sent out a flower stalk for the first time, so it may be some a couple of months before I have some decent sized plantlets.
