Variant

Sansevieria Whitney, scientifically known as Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Whitney’, commonly known as Silver Flame Snake Plant, is a rare and aesthetically striking variety of the well-known snake plant. This compact cultivar is highly prized for its decorative appeal, featuring sword-like leaves that emerge in dense rosettes. The leaves are a rich dark green with beautiful silvery, speckled margins that give them a luminous quality. The contrast between the dark green centers and the lighter edges highlights the plant's structured form, making it a popular choice for both modern and traditional interiors.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Sansevieria Whitney

Sun: Indirect

Sansevieria Whitney should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Low

Sansevieria Whitney will do well in low light, but will grow faster with brighter light. A low light plant can pretty much survive anyplace inside your home as long as you have a window in the room. Remember, low light does not mean no light and plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When fully dry

Sansevieria Whitney likes the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. This can take up to 4 weeks in an average home environment but it will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. For them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months.

Humidity: Low

Their humidity requirement is low, so do not mist Sansevieria Whitney or put them in a terrarium.

Pet Caution

Sansevieria Whitney is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Sansevieria Whitney, also known as the Silver Flame Snake Plant, a rare and exceptionally elegant variety of Sansevieria that is native to Africa. This compact and unique plant not only enhances any living space with its sculptural beauty but also symbolizes resilience, purification, and a steadfast spirit.

The Sansevieria Whitney is distinguished by its sword-like leaves that emerge in tight rosettes, creating a striking visual display. The leaves are a deep, dark green with beautiful silvery margins that are speckled, giving them a shimmering appearance as if edged with dew. This contrast not only adds to the plant’s allure but also highlights its robust and enduring nature.

To care for your Sansevieria Whitney, provide it with low to bright indirect light. This versatile plant is highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of lighting conditions, underscoring its resilience and ease of care. The Sansevieria Whitney’s ability to prosper in different environments makes it a perfect addition to both home and office settings, reminding us of the importance of adaptability in all aspects of life.

Watering should be minimal, reflecting the plant's drought-tolerant characteristics. Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. This minimal watering requirement not only makes the Sansevieria Whitney an easy-care plant but also teaches us the value of resourcefulness and the strength found in self-sufficiency.

As the Sansevieria Whitney matures, its slow growth and compact size make it an ideal choice for areas with limited space. It does not demand much room to flourish, yet its presence is always strongly felt, symbolizing how even the quietest and smallest among us can have a profound impact.
