Notes
Bearing dark green leaves with paler light green striping, the Sansevieria bacularis Mikado is a compact hybrid of the snake plant. The name ‘bacularis’ stems from the latin word ‘baculum’ meaning ‘stick’, hence its upright, rod-like structure. Such a houseplant would work effectively in a space in need of a contemporary addition. Please note, the featured pot cover is not included.
