Sansevieria Fernwood

Sansevieria ‘Fernwood’ – Cylindrical Snake Plant

The Sansevieria ‘Fernwood’ is a compact snake plant distinguished by its slender, cylindrical leaves that display tiger‑striped bands of green and yellow. These upright leaves emerge from the soil like a fountain, giving the plant a sculptural form that suits desks, shelves or small spaces. Slow‑growing and resilient, Fernwood brings modern style and air‑purifying qualities to any room.

- Slender cylindrical leaves with tiger‑striped green and yellow variegation
- Dense rosette that forms a sculptural fountain of foliage
- Adaptable to low, medium or bright indirect light
- Highly drought‑tolerant; ideal for forgetful plant owners

Care Guide

Light: Prefers moderate to bright indirect light but tolerates low light. Avoid long periods of direct sun.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly and discard excess; overwatering causes root rot.
Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine; avoid misting.
Soil & Potting: Use a well‑draining succulent or cactus potting mix with added perlite or sand. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
Fertilizer: Feed lightly with diluted balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring/summer); none in fall/winter.
Temperature: Thrives between 60–75 °F. Protect from cold drafts and frost.

Growth & Size

- Slow-growing; usually reaches 1‑2 ft tall indoors but can grow taller over time. Rarely produces small, fragrant white flowers.

Safety Note

- All snake plants contain saponins and are mildly toxic if ingested by pets or children. Keep out of reach.
