Sansevieria ‘Superba’ is a striking cultivar of the classic snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata), known for its upright, sword-like leaves with bold green variegation and vibrant golden-yellow edges. This variety stays more compact making it ideal for small spaces, desks, and side tables. It thrives on neglect, tolerates low light, and purifies the air—making it not only beautiful, but functional too.
Tough, tidy, and incredibly stylish, the Sansevieria ‘Superba’ is the ultimate easy-care plant with bold personality. Perfect for beginners, busy plant parents, or anyone seeking a sculptural, low-fuss statement piece that makes any space feel polished and grounded.
Care Requirements:
-
Light: Extremely adaptable. Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light and even fluorescent lighting. Avoid intense direct sun, which can cause leaf burn.
-
Water: Water only when the soil is completely dry. Infrequent watering is key, roughly every 2–3 weeks, less in winter.
-
Humidity: Handles average indoor humidity with ease. No extra misting or humidity boost required.
-
Temperature: Prefers temps between 16–29°C. Keep it away from cold drafts and frosty windows.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
-
Feeding: Feed lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted cactus or houseplant fertilizer. Once a month is plenty.
Pet-Friendly: No – Sansevieria is toxic to pets if ingested.
