Sansevieria Whale Fin

Sansevieria masoniana ‘Whale Fin’ – Unique Snake Plant

The Sansevieria ‘Whale Fin’ stands out with its single, paddle‑shaped leaf that resembles the fin of a whale. Each thick, succulent leaf is deep green with pale mottled markings and can grow up to 3 feet tall, making a sculptural focal point in any room. Slow‑growing and highly drought‑tolerant, this plant stores water in its leaves and roots, making it easy to care for.

Care Guide

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but adapts to low light; avoid prolonged direct sun which may scorch leaf edges.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings; water deeply and drain excess. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient; avoid misting.
Soil & Potting: Use a free‑draining cactus or succulent mix with perlite or sand; ensure pot has drainage holes.
Fertilizer: Feed sparingly with diluted balanced fertilizer once during the growing season; do not fertilize in winter.
Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65–85°F; protect from cold drafts and frost.

Growth & Size

- Slow grower; typical height 1‑3 ft, depending on pot size and conditions. Rarely produces a tall flower stalk with small, fragrant white blooms.

Safety Note

- Like all snake plants, the Whale Fin contains saponins and is mildly toxic if ingested by pets or children. Keep out of reach.
