Spring is here and it's a great time for planting!
It's also a busy time and sometimes we ship faster than we can update our website.
So if we are out of a product, we will contact you and ask for a substitution.
This doesn't happen very often.
It helps though if you add your phone number to the notes section of your order.

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
