Sansevieria Ehrenbergii ‘Samurai’

Sansevieria Samurai is a low and very charming variety that delights the eye with its original habit and thick, fleshy and stiff leaves. It forms a habit of a spreading rosette, built of long, triangular, boat-shaped and pointed leaves. They grow opposite each other, and the next pairs of new leaves are arranged in a spiral, not covering the surface of the older ones. The long, boat-shaped leaves are sharply pointed, which emphasizes the combative character of the cultivar name. The edges of the leaves are effectively marked with a narrow, maroon-orange margin, which beautifully emphasizes their shape. Reddish brown trim can also be seen on the pointed tops of the leaves. This tiny sansevieria reaches only 15 cm in height and a similar width. The leaf blade is green on both the upper and lower sides, decorated only with randomly appearing, single, longitudinal stripes of dark green. Thanks to its small size, ‘Samurai’ sansevieria will be a great decoration for a desk, coffee table or bookcase, and its tolerance to lack of light makes it an original decoration even in slightly shaded places.
