Sansevieria Bacularis Mikado – Snake Plant

Sansevieria bacularis Mikado is a compact hybrid Snake Plant. Sansevieria bacularis has dark green leaves with slightly paler light green striping. The name bacularis stems from the latin word baculum meaning stick, rod or staff. The Mikado form adds an interesting fountain-like shape for a more modern vibe.

Considered virtually indestructible this is an excellent choice for most environments. Snake plants are great for darker offices and their air-purifying qualities make them ideal for the bedroom too.

Please note: some scarring may occur on the leaves.

Horty Hints

Squeaky clean! Make sure to wipe the stems of your Mikado regularly to remove any dust and help maximise its air purifying powers.

Shady spots sorted! The Mikado can adapt to lower light conditions making it an ideal addition to those not-so-sunny locations.

Make it rain! Once your bacularis’ soil has dried out and it’s time to water again, make sure to thoroughly drench the soil, allowing any excess water to drain through the bottom.

Light

Sanseviera bacularis Mikado does best in moderate to bright, indirect light, but can also adapt to low light conditions.

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering, then water thoroughly and allow to drain freely. Do not allow the plant to sit in water as this will cause root rot.

Temperature

This Snake Plant is happy in places with temperatures between 15°C and 23°C and as low as 10°C for short periods.

Humidity

The bacularis will do fine in normal household humidity. Avoid humid locations but if brown tips develop, consider occasional misting.

Feed

Apply a weak dose of cactus or general purpose feed once a month at most during the growing season. Sansevieria are low maintenance plants and do not require a lot of supplementary feeding.
