Dracaena masoniana - Whale Fin Snake Plant
Dracaena masoniana is nicknamed Whale Fin Snake Plant because of the unique shape of its unusually wide, paddle-like leaves. Though slow-growing, the Whale Fin Snake Plant reaches impressive size compared to other members of the genus. Its leaves are beautifully mottled with patterns of dark and light green, and the leaf margins are often a pink-ish red. Like all Snake Plants, Dracaena masoniana is known for its air-purifying abilities, and is great for beginners, requiring very little maintenance.
This plant was formerly classified as Sansevieria masoniana, but modern DNA sequencing led taxonomists to combine the genus Sansevieria with Dracaena because of the plants' similar genes.
PLANT CARE
• Light: Low to bright, indirect light
• Water: Water when the soil has fully dried
• Considerations: Tolerant of a wide range of light conditions - just be sure not to overwater. The foliage will pucker slightly when the plant is thirsty
