Being honest I cannot hear it anymore that SANSEVIERIAS
- "are also suitable for rooms without day light"
- "will be happy in the shady corner of your house"
- "do not need any care"
- "do not need sun light for proper growth"
...and similar kind of misleading information.

Prior I have started collecting, organically! growing and propagating sansevierias (currently counts my collection round 100 different varieties...), I was recommended to take the SANSEVIERIA book by P.A.Mansfeld, which has given me a perfect guideline to the Sansevieria world. I am not making any advertisement; this is just a pure recommendation for those of you (who speaks German, as the book is in German only), who really want to understand what the Sansevieria world is about.

Did you know that Sansevierias have been also called "student plants" because they are so easy to care for. The popular plants have become indispensable in our living and working spaces. The reader is given a comprehensive overview of their origin, history and care. All currently validly described species are presented in detail in the book. An index of names and synonyms, a list of cultivated varieties and hybrids as well as an overview of field numbers provide an overview of the diversity of forms. The richly illustrated handbook is one of the most comprehensive German-language works on the Sansevieria.

Happy reading to you!!!

I am excited to be working with Susanne Kilian. As a UN interpreter for state presidents, UN representatives and decision-makers from politics, media, and industry she has been working in Asia, the Middle East, the USA, and Europe for more than 20 years. Making words work- in acquisition, presentations, and negotiations- is her true passion.  

Reading her book "Don't let me be misunderstood", has made me laugh, given me several enjoyable AHA moments and has helped me avoiding pitfalls.

My photo art features numerous of Susanne's publications on various online channels (on her website www.susanne-kilian.com, her Instagram susannekiliansseminars, blogs, and newsletters).

Thank you - Susanne Kilian – I am thrilled that you keep choosing my floral photo art to embellish your words.
