Sansevieria Whale Fin
About:
Whale Fin Snake Plants have fabulous forms, are playful and charming, and luckily they are super easy to care for! They can live in the shade or in bright light, they do not require much food, and humidity is never an issue. They also tolerate being root bound, so you do not need to re-pot them often. If you want to limit your sanseviera’s growth, simply refrain from re-potting for a few years! Learn more about how to care for these resilient yet beautiful indoor plants!
Light
These plants will tolerate low to bright indirect light, but if you want faster growth, place them in bright indirect light for a minimum of 6 hours each day. Bright indirect light will encourage healthier foliage and stronger root development! Avoid placing them in direct sunlight if placing them outside as this can burn the leaves. If you are planning on planting them into a full-sun garden then you must acclimate them to the sun first!
Water
Water Whale Fin Snake Plants only when the soil is completely dry. Remember, it is a succulent, so its leaves hold moisture for long periods. Water the soil slowly and make sure that all parts of the root ball are saturated. It is important that you drain the excess water from the grow pot as the excess water can cause the roots to rot.
Soil
Snake Plants love good drainage and a soil mixture containing pumice, perlite, or wood chips to provide the drainage they need! Most bagged potting soils will be adequate for transplanting your sansevieira. Consider mixing in cactus potting soil to help with drainage. If you decide to transplant your snake plants (we do not recommend transplanting your new plants for at least 3-6 months after receiving them), make sure you do not damage the roots. Avoid using garden soil for your indoor plants as it retains much more water than potting soil and it can also harbor pests and bacteria if taken from the yard.
