Sansevieria bacularis 'Mikado'
snake plant
From the family of mother-in-law’s tongue, this plant has similar characteristics - i.e. tough, easy to grow, and extremely tolerant. The difference is that this form has slim, spear-like foliage that fits in well with contemporary decor. Sansevieria bacularis 'Mikado' is one of those plants that doesn't take up too much space, but it does have a big impact.
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.

Check that any pot cover you are using is not allowing the nursery pot inside to sit in water.

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
