Sansevieria Fernwood Mikado

Sansevieria Fernwood Mikado

Sansevieria Fernwood Mikado is a unique, sculptural variety of snake plant with slender, cylindrical leaves that fan out in a striking fountain-like display. The dark green foliage is patterned with light green striping, giving it a sleek, modern look that fits effortlessly into any home or office space. Its compact, upright form makes it ideal for desks, shelves, or small decorative planters.

Also known as Dracaena angolensis ‘Fernwood Mikado’, this hybrid combines the resilience of traditional snake plants with a more refined silhouette. It thrives in a wide range of indoor conditions, including low light, low humidity, and inconsistent watering, making it one of the easiest houseplants to maintain. Its narrow, arching leaves add texture and vertical interest to minimal or contemporary decor.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Fernwood Mikado is also an air-purifying plant, filtering toxins while demanding very little attention. Its slow-growing nature and drought tolerance make it an excellent long-term addition to plant collections of all sizes.
