Sansevieria trifasciata 'Futura Superba' – Gold-Edged Snake Plant

Couldn't load pickup availability
Futura Superba is a compact, gold-edged snake plant. Its dark green leaves are bordered in yellow, much like a Laurentii, but the plant is shorter and the leaves grow slightly outward from each growth point rather than straight up. The leaves may be a consistent green or show some patterning as the plant gets larger, and the gold border is at its brightest when the plant gets adequate light.
Each plant stands between 20-40cm in height and comes with one to two growth points. That makes it a great fit for desks, side tables and shelves, where a full-size Laurentii would be too much.
Place it in bright, indirect light to keep the golden edge vivid; it will tolerate lower light but the colour may fade. Avoid drafts, high winds and extreme temperatures. Water only when the potting mix has dried out, and make sure excess water can drain freely. A wide pot with drainage holes suits its shallow roots.
Like all snake plants, it is mildly toxic to cats and dogs if chewed, so keep it out of reach of pets.
Our snake plant care guide covers the essentials. Variegated types are best divided, as leaf cuttings can lose the gold edge, but our guide to propagating from leaf cuttings is worth a read. Perth pickup or Australia-wide shipping available.
