Description
Nice looking and fairly common cultivar often referred to Sansevieria trifasciata, but not sure what species it really is.
Leaves: Broad, tongue-like, nearly solid, erect 7-10 cm wide by 40-50(-60) cm long, pale green (nearly silver), ageing to an olive colour with slight cross banding with a narrow dark green margin. The leaves shoot out of the ground from an underground rhizome. Usually they have 3 or more upright leaves giving individual divisions a vase-like form as the leaves diverge slightly from the center of rosettes. New leaves are the most beautiful very light glaucous colour that in verges on ice-white. Plants grown in deep shade have darker leaves.
Flowers: Spikes of whitish flowers. It may flower if the plant is grown in bright light or morning sun.
Origin and Habitat
Garden origin (Nursery produced cultivar).
Cultivation and Propagation
One of the fastest and easiest of the Sansevierias to grow.
Very drought tolerant plant, but not as cold hardy as some. It needs heat and dry air in Winter and half shade in Summer.
Does best as a pot plant.
Warnings: It is toxic (has oxylates that cause oral and throat irritation) if chewed or eaten.
