Description
Sansevieria ‘Whale Fin,’ also known as Mason’s Congo or Dracaena masoniana, is a striking Snake Plant variety known for its large, paddle-shaped leaves that resemble a whale fin. Its bold, upright foliage and unique shape make it a standout choice for modern interiors, statement planters, offices, shelves, and low-maintenance plant collections.
Light Requirements
Sansevieria ‘Whale Fin’ can tolerate a range of light conditions, from medium light to bright, indirect light. For best growth and stronger leaf patterning, place it in bright, indirect light. It can handle some direct sun, but harsh afternoon sun should be introduced gradually to avoid leaf scorch.
Watering
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Sansevieria ‘Whale Fin’ stores moisture in its thick leaves and is very sensitive to overwatering. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root rot. Water much less often during cooler months.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant does well in average household humidity and prefers warm indoor temperatures. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 55–60°F.
Pet Safety
Sansevieria ‘Whale Fin’ is not considered pet-safe and can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets that like to chew on plants.
Best For
Sansevieria ‘Whale Fin’ is best for beginner plant owners, offices, modern interiors, statement planters, and anyone who wants a hardy, low-water houseplant with bold sculptural foliage.
