🪴 Plant Name

Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Hahnii’ (now classified under Dracaena trifasciata ‘Hahnii’)

🌱 Description

• A compact, rosette-forming variety of the snake plant.

• Leaves are short, broad, and arranged in a tight spiral resembling a bird’s nest.

• The leaves have attractive horizontal light-green or silvery-green bands on a dark green background.

• It’s a slow-growing succulent ideal for indoor spaces or desks.

☀️ Light Requirements

🍃 Care Tips

• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust.

• Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound.

• Fertilize lightly once a month during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer.
