Returns Simplified.Sansevieria trifasciata Futura Superba, commonly known as the Superba Snake Plant, is a compact and highly decorative cultivar of the classic Snake Plant. Native to tropical Africa and belonging to the Asparagaceae family, it is prized for its striking golden variegation, upright leaves, and effortless care requirements.
This variety is similar to Sansevieria Laurentii but has shorter, broader leaves and a more compact growth habit. The foliage features deep green centres patterned with grey-green horizontal banding, edged with bold, golden-yellow margins. The dense rosette growth and strong architectural form make it ideal for modern interiors, desks, or small spaces where structure and texture are needed.
In addition to its visual appeal, Futura Superba is incredibly resilient and one of the best low-maintenance indoor plants, thriving in low light, irregular watering, and dry air.
Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low-light conditions, making it one of the most adaptable houseplants. Avoid harsh midday sun, which may scorch the yellow margins.
Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During spring and summer, water roughly every 23 weeks; in winter, reduce to monthly or less. Overwatering is the most common cause of issues.
Temperature: Prefers 1828C. Protect from frost and prolonged cold below 10C.
Humidity: Tolerates dry indoor air perfectly and does not require misting.
Use a gritty, free-draining cactus or succulent compost. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Repot every 23 years in spring, only when the roots outgrow the container.
Feed lightly once a month during spring and summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser. Do not feed during winter dormancy.
Remove any damaged or old leaves at the base. Wipe foliage gently with a damp cloth to maintain its shine and patterning.
A slow to moderate grower that typically reaches 3045 cm tall indoors. Over time, it produces offsets (pups) that can be divided and repotted to create new plants.
Yellowing or mushy leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Wrinkled leaves: Underwatering water thoroughly, then allow soil to dry out again.
Faded colour: Insufficient light.
Pests: Occasionally mealybugs or spider mites.
Snake Plants have been cherished for generations for their resilience and sculptural beauty. The Futura Superba cultivar combines compact size with vivid variegation, making it ideal for tabletops or small spaces. Like all Sansevieria, its also an excellent air purifier, filtering indoor toxins and releasing oxygen at night perfect for bedrooms and offices.
