A Sansevieria hybrid dwarf variety with contrasting colored leaves that form a tight rosette, jade green leaves with a bold golden margin. Growth averages 4" inches in diameter up to 8" tall for any single rosette, but growth is heavy clumping or offset producing so large close grouped clumps are fast forming. Whole clumps average 12" to 18" or more in width but can be thinned out each year to keep smaller if desired. One of the most distinctive of the Hahni group with its contrasting deep jade green and golden margin. Makes a good landscape plant where low height is desired or an easy to maintain indoor office or house plant that if given adequate lighting can fit almost anywhere, even on small windowsills or corner nooks.
Common name :
Bird's Nest Snake Plant, Rimmed Bird's nest Plant.
Light:
Tolerates low light and partial shade. This is a popular office plant because it is one of the top plants that grow in fluorescent lights.
Soil:
Use a general purpose cactus potting mix.
Flowers:
Creamy tan flowers bloom in mid-summer. Bird’s Nest will not die after it flowers but it will stop producing new leaves. The flowers apparently have a sweet aroma although we have never smelled them. Some of these plants, depending on the growing conditions, rarely flower. Even very healthy plants may be stubborn and not produce flowers.
Water:
Water deeply but only when you are sure the soil is totally dry.
Fertilizer:
Use a one-half strength diluted fertilizer if needed. This plant is sensitive to over fertilizing so only use sparingly.
Propagation:
Propagation can be done by dividing the rootball, from offsets and from leaf cuttings.
Signs of Stress and Poor Health
These plants are very prone to rotting when they are over watered.
