Sansevieria Fernwood Mikado

What is the plant

An unpretentious plant that is perfect for any interior. With proper care, sansevieria grows and blooms for many years. In addition to the aesthetic appeal in the culture of many countries, sansevieria is endowed with the ability to neutralize the flow of negative energy, and is also used as a component for medicinal potions. Light spots on the leaves form a typical banding pattern for the species. Depending on the variety, such spots can be wide or narrow. They also differ in shades: some have similar tones to the main color, while others contrast with it. During flowering, sansevieria produces a peduncle, the length of which can reach 1 meter. White tubular flowers with pinkish tips are arranged evenly on it, in the form of a spike or an elongated brush along the length. Depending on the variety, the color of the peduncle itself can be light green, bright green or beige-pink.
