Description

🌿 Sansevieria ‘Fernwood’ Mikado – Compact Snake Plant

The Sansevieria ‘Fernwood’ Mikado is a unique and modern variety of snake plant featuring slender, cylindrical green leaves with subtle banded markings. Arranged in an elegant fan-like cluster, this plant brings a stylish, architectural touch to any space. Known for its incredible air-purifying ability and extreme hardiness, it’s one of the easiest indoor plants to care for.

✨ Key Highlights

• 🌱 Elegant, upright cylindrical foliage with patterned stripes.
• 🏡 Compact size, perfect for desks, shelves, or side tables.
• 🕊 Removes toxins and improves indoor air quality.
• 🌵 Very hardy – survives neglect and low-light conditions.

🌞 Light Requirements

This plant adapts to a wide range of conditions – from low light to bright, indirect sunlight. However, indirect bright light promotes faster growth and deeper leaf coloration. It’s one of the best plants for indoor corners with limited light.

💧 Watering

Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. In winter, reduce watering frequency further, since the plant goes semi-dormant.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Sansevieria Fernwood Mikado thrives in average household conditions between 15–30°C. It tolerates both dry and humid air, making it suitable for homes and offices alike.

🌱 Soil & Fertilizer

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add sand or perlite for extra drainage. Additionally, feed once every 2–3 months with a mild cactus fertilizer during the growing season.

✂️ Care & Maintenance

Extremely low-maintenance. Simply wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust. Repot only when roots outgrow the container, which usually takes 2–3 years.

⚠️ Pet Safety

❌ Not safe for pets – mildly toxic if chewed by cats or dogs.
