The Whale Fin Snake Plant
(Sansevieria masoniana)
is a striking succulent known for its large, paddle-shaped leaves that resemble a whale's fin, often growing up to 4 feet tall with a mottled green pattern. Native to the Congo region, it's a low-maintenance houseplant prized for its air-purifying qualities and architectural appeal.
How to pot:
Choose a pot with drainage holes that's slightly larger than the root ball to prevent root rot. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix, ideally amended with pumice or perlite for better aeration (e.g., two parts mix to one part pumice).Gently remove the plant from its nursery pot, loosen the roots, place it in the new pot at the same depth, and fill with soil. Water lightly after potting and allow the soil to dry out before the next watering.
How to care:
Place in bright, indirect light, though it tolerates low light; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.Water sparingly every 2-3 weeks, letting the soil dry completely between waterings—overwatering is a common issue leading to rot.Use room-temperature water and maintain temperatures between 21-28°C (70-82°F), avoiding drafts below 18°C.Fertilize lightly with a balanced succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring-summer) every 1-2 months, and repot every 2-3 years as needed.
