Sansevieria ‘Dragon Wing’ is a rare, sculptural houseplant prized for its unique, wide, leathery leaves that curve outward like wings. It is known for its slow growth and architectural form, making it a favorite for modern or minimalist interior decor.Appearance: Features broad, boat-shaped leaves with slightly wavy (undulated) edges. The foliage is typically dark green with mottled, lighter green patterns and deep longitudinal lines.Edges: The leaf margins often have a distinctive reddish or dried-wood-like outline.Growth Habit: Unlike common upright snake plants, ‘Dragon Wing’ leaves spread low and wide, reaching widths of up to 4.8 inches and lengths of 1214 inches in mature specimens.Light: Thrives in moderate to bright indirect light. It is highly adaptable and can survive in low-light conditions, though its growth will be even slower.Watering: Extremely drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, typically every 2 to 6 weeks depending on your home’s environment. Overwatering is the primary cause of plant death (root rot).Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding extra perlite or vermiculite can help ensure aeration.Temperature: Best suited for warmer environments; it can tolerate outdoor temperatures between 35C and 40C (95F104F) in suitable climates (USDA Zones 9a-11b).Safety: Like most Sansevieria/Dracaena species, it is toxic to pets and children if ingested, causing symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
