Variegated Whale Fin Snake Plant

Dracaena masoniana belongs to Asparagaceae; Sansevieria masoniana is its earlier botanical name. [11]

Mila's catalogue names this plant Dracaena masoniana, variegated form. [19]

Logee's describes Variegated Whale Fin with broad, upright, paddle-like leaves carrying green and yellow variegation. [13]

Give Whale Fin bright indirect light. Shield the leaves from intense direct sun that can scorch them. [12]

Use an aerated, well-drained potting mix; coarse mineral material such as perlite can help maintain air spaces. [12]

Choose a container with drainage holes. Keep the nursery pot above water collected in a decorative cover pot. [1]

Keep room conditions steady, away from cold glass, drafts and blasts from heating or air-conditioning vents. [10]

Snake plants suit moderate to warm indoor conditions and tolerate low humidity. [17]

Feed during active growth with houseplant fertilizer at the label rate. Reduce or withhold feeding when growth slows. [10]

Remove badly damaged leaves at their base. Leave healthy leaves intact. Wear gloves when cutting; the sap can irritate skin. [16]

Reassess moisture as daylight and room heating change. [1][3]

Variegated Whale Fin has the broad paddle-shaped foliage described by Logee's. [13]

NC State describes Golden Flame with yellow-gold stripes and gray-green leaves that darken with age. [14]
