Sansevieria trifasciata moonshine
| The photo is of an 8" pot. |
Sansevieria trifasciata moonshine came from India, Arabia. Surprisingly they are in the Agavaceae family. They like light shade, and part to full shade. They will grow to be 1 ½ to 5’ tall and they can spread from 1-6’ wide.
Another interesting fact is they will bloom when pot bound. Their foliage is Broad, pale, overlapping, silvery grayish-green with a dark green margin. Don’t be concerned when older leaves turn olive in color. This is natural. When they grow in deeper shade, leaves diverge from center of rosettes like a large open vase. Like other succulents they like to dry out between watering. I have always propagated by separating/dividing rhizomes. They can also be propagated by leaf cuttings. They do grow slowly but worth waiting for. USDA Hardiness Zones : 8b-11
