Bhagyashri... all sensevarias flowered in calcutta in july...at the height of the monsoon... esp if they were growing out in the open... did your plant flower too, ene though it was in a tub?
Mother-in-law's tongue... because sharp edges and many leaf blades.. just as mother in law has many opinions... but let the poor lady enjoy her opinions... she has lost her son to the daughter in law!!! and we will stick to science... this is one of the many plants studied by NASA team to see if indoor air can be purrified in the space station by plants... sensevaria came out as an important detoxifier of indoor closed office space air.. plant a few in your offices... (NOT FERNS THEY GIVE OUT THE SPORES PERIODICALLY AND YOUR EYE PATIENTS WOULD SUFFER physically from particles getting in their eyes and perhaps develop allergies to the protien-carbohydrate/lectin coats on the spore ) ... enjoy..
