Description

Extra wide blue-green speckled leaves from this Whale Fin Sansevieria (Sansevieria / Dracaena masoniana) make an excellent architectural statement. Most Sansevieria are native to are native to rocky, dry habitats in tropical Africa but used as a patio or house plant in Kansas. Grow in full sun to part sun with optional extra watering including that which comes from rainfall. Plants with plenty of time to acclimate will thrive in full sun but be careful not to rush it or sunburning will occur. Generally if moving outside for the summer, allow 2-3 weeks of part shade or morning sun before placing in full sun. Or just keep in part shade or under an overhang. Repotting may or may not be needed depending on how large you want the plant to grow; plants can continue to grow and tolerate extremely root-bound pots but may need wind bracing. Some species root systems will build up enough pressure and will simply break the pot as a friendly reminder when it's time to re-pot! Protect from temperatures below 45 degrees F and move into a bright window over the winter with no watering. Do not allow Sansevieria to freeze or even get close to freezing especially if soil is wet or death may occur. As a winter house plant, it will look presentable all winter long with just a few monthly or no waterings if you forget. As a permanent house plant, provide bright light and allow the soil to dry between waterings for many years of carefree enjoyment. Potted plants are very low maintenance needing only old leaves trimmed once per year. Whale Fin Sansevieria is one of the more slow-growing and most sought-after snake plants often grown as a specimen house plant. Largest leaves of all sansevierias! Whale Fin is rare and will command a higher price than most other houseplants.
