Sansevieria Masoniana Dragon – Snake Plant

Style Statement Alert! The Sansevieria masoniana Dragon boasts a striking colouration and starburst silhouette, commanding an architectural presence. If you desire a low-maintenance standout, this is the perfect choice.

Featuring handsome, rippled, tongue-shaped leaves adorned with harmonious bands of light and dark green, it bestows architectural refinement upon any space. Its gracefully curvaceous leaves, crowned with fiery red edges tapering to a pointed perfection, evoke regal dragon scales.

Sansevieria displays exceptional adaptability to varying light conditions. In shade, the masoniana Dragon’s deep green hues intensify, while sunlight reveals more vibrant, lustrous greens.

Please note: some scarring may be present on the leaves, this is quite typical with these plants and it does not impact their health.

Horty Hints

Taxononmic transformation. While technically categorised as Dracaena masoniana, this plant more closely resembles the Sansevieria species in numerous aspects. To emphasise its botanical affinities we call it Sansevieria masoniana.

Ensure your Dragon Snake Plant has adequate drainage to allow any excess water to drain to avoid its roots becoming waterlogged and risking root rot.

Happy families! You can propagate your Sansevieria by gently removing any “pups” (smaller self-contained leaves), cutting directly below the root and placing them into a separate grow pot.

Light

Sansevieria 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. Do not allow the plant to sit in water as this will cause root rot.

Temperature

The Dragon snake plant is happy in places with temperatures between 15°C and 23°C and can tolerate temperatures as low as 10°C for short periods.

Humidity

This Snake Plant 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 at most during the growing season. Sansevieria are low maintenance plants and don’t need a lot of food.
