Returns Simplified.Sansevieria Ehrendale is a rare and elegant cultivar of the Sansevieria group (reclassified as Dracaena), prized for its upright form and striking variegation. Native to Africa and Asia, Sansevierias are renowned for their toughness and sculptural qualities, making them enduringly popular houseplants.
The Ehrendale variety is especially decorative. It produces tall, sword-shaped leaves with a rich green base overlaid with irregular bands and streaks of creamy white, yellow, and grey-green variegation. The contrast of vertical striping and marbled patterns gives each leaf a unique appearance. Over time, clumps of upright leaves form, creating a bold architectural display.
Unlike some compact Sansevieria cultivars, Ehrendale can grow up to 6080 cm tall indoors, making it an excellent statement plant for floor displays or large pots.
Adapts to a wide range of conditions. Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances variegation, but also tolerates medium and even low light levels. Avoid strong direct sun, which can scorch pale variegated areas.
Extremely drought tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In summer, watering every 23 weeks is usually enough; in winter, reduce to monthly or less. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.
Temperature: Prefers 1828C. Can tolerate occasional dips to 10C but should be protected from prolonged cold.
Humidity: Very tolerant of dry indoor air thrives in centrally heated homes.
Plant in a gritty, free-draining cactus or succulent compost. Repot only when rootbound, typically every 23 years, as Sansevierias prefer slightly crowded pots.
Feed once a month in spring and summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser. No feeding is required in winter.
Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves at the base. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to maintain their natural sheen and showcase the variegation.
A slow to moderate grower. Over time, produces offsets that can be divided to create new plants. Mature clumps can reach 6080 cm in height. Rarely, mature plants may produce tall flower spikes with small, fragrant white-green blooms.
Yellow or mushy leaves: Almost always due to overwatering.
Wrinkling: A sign of prolonged drought.
Pests: Rare, but can occasionally attract mealybugs or spider mites.
Sansevierias are among the most durable and low-maintenance houseplants available, recommended for both beginners and experienced growers. They are also valued for their air-purifying qualities NASA studies have highlighted their ability to filter indoor toxins. The Ehrendale cultivar is particularly admired for its decorative variegation and upright form, bringing both resilience and beauty to interiors.
