Sansevieria trifasciata Hahnii | Houseplant
Hahn's sansevieria
Closely related to, but lower-growing than the more readily available mother-in-law's tongue, 'Hahnii' is often referred to as the bird’s nest sansevieria. That's because the shorter, lower-growing leaves are more splayed - and form a low rosette. The colouring is good too, being a rich green that is somewhat banded and irregularly mottled with a darker shade. Super-easy to grow, it will tolerate neglect and will even thrive in shadier corners of your home.
Please note that the plant comes in a nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.
Also, it is quite common for these plants to have small nicks or scars on their leaves. This does not affect their long-term health or vigour in any way.

How to care for Sansevieria trifasciata Hahnii:
Place Sansevieria in a bright room with indirect light, though it will also tolerate lower-light spaces, making it easy to position around the home. Keep it warm (though away from direct heat sources such as radiators) and away from cold draughts, and use a free-draining houseplant compost. Check that any pot cover you are using is not allowing the nursery pot inside to sit in water.
Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering, then water thoroughly and let the excess drain away; never leave it standing in water as this causes root rot. In winter, reduce watering and keep temperatures above 10°C (50°F). Repot every few years when the roots begin to outgrow the container, choosing a pot only slightly larger to avoid lingering moisture.
