Sansevieria Trifasciata Hahnii – Birds Nest Snake Plant

Sansevieria Hahnii is a popular, compact Bird’s Nest Snake Plant. The dark, glossy leaves are funnel shaped and form an elegant rosette of lush succulent foliage with horizontal grey-green variegation. Sansevieria will adapt to different light levels, however the colours are enhanced in bright, filtered conditions.

These are robust, stocky plants. Perfect if you’re looking for a Sansevieria with all their easy-care qualities, but don’t have the space for one of the taller varieties.

Please note: some scarring may occur on the leaves.

Horty Hints

Make it rain! Once your Hahnii’s soil has dried out and it’s time to water again, make sure to thoroughly drench the soil, allowing any excess water to drain through the bottom.

Off on your holibobs? No probs! The Hahnii is drought tolerant and is more than happy being left to its own devices making it the ideal houseplant for the keen traveller.

Living life on the edge! Make sure to water your Hahnii around the edge of its grow pot, avoiding the middle stems as this can cause the plant to rot easily.

Light
