The Whale Fin Snake Plant (Sansevieria masoniana) is a rare and striking houseplant, instantly recognizable for its single, oversized leaf shaped like a whale’s fin. Its thick, paddle-like foliage is deep green with subtle mottling, making it both bold and elegant—a true statement piece in any plant collection.
This hardy plant thrives on neglect, tolerating low to bright indirect light and requiring only occasional watering. Its drought tolerance and slow growth make it a low-maintenance choice for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike. Like other snake plants, it’s also an excellent air purifier, helping to filter indoor pollutants and improve air quality. Toxic to pets if ingested, so place it with care.
