Sansevieria Fernwood Mikado – Snake Plant

Sansevieria Fernwood Mikado is a compact hybrid Snake Plant. Fernwood Sansevieria has dark green leaves with striking light green tiger-print striping. The Mikado form adds an interesting fountain-like shape for a more modern vibe.

Considered virtually indestructible this is an excellent choice for most places. Snake plants are great for darker offices and their air-purifying qualities make them ideal for the bedroom too.

Please note: some scarring may occur on the leaves.

Horty Hints

Shady spots sorted! The Fernwood Mikado can adapt to lower light conditions making it an ideal addition to those not-so-sunny locations.

Squeaky clean! Make sure to wipe the stems of your Sansevieria regularly to remove any dust and help maximise its air purifying powers.

Easy does it! Hold off watering your Fernwood Mikado until the soil is completely dry as excess moisture can lead to root rot.

Light

Sanseviera Fernwood Mikado does best in moderate to bright, indirect light, but can also adapt to low light conditions if preferred.

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering. Water thoroughly and allow to drain freely. Don’t allow the plant to sit in water as this will cause root rot.

Temperature

This Snake Plant is happy in places with temperatures between 15°C and 23°C and as low as 10°C for short periods.

Humidity

The Fernwood Mikado will do fine in normal household humidity. Avoid humid locations but if brown tips develop, consider occasional misting.

Feed

Apply a weak dose of cactus or general purpose feed once a month during the growing season. Sansevieria are low maintenance plants and don’t need a lot of food.
