Sansevieria Masoniana (Whale Fin) - 6''
Sansevieria Masoniana, also known as the Whale Fin Snake Plant, is a unique and eye-catching variety recognized for its large, paddle-shaped leaves. This 6-inch plant is named for its broad, fin-like foliage that can grow up to 4 feet tall, making it an impressive statement piece for any indoor space. The rich green leaves are often adorned with a subtle mottling of lighter green, adding texture and depth to its appearance.
The Whale Fin Snake Plant is not only admired for its striking looks but also for its hardiness and low-maintenance care needs. It thrives in a variety of lighting conditions, from low to bright indirect light, and requires minimal watering, as it can store moisture in its thick, succulent-like leaves. This makes it an ideal plant for those who may not have the time or experience for frequent plant care.
In addition to its bold aesthetic, Sansevieria Masoniana is an excellent air purifier, known for its ability to remove toxins such as formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene from the air. Its adaptability, resilience, and air-purifying qualities make it a great addition to homes, offices, and plant collections alike.
