Returns Simplified.Sansevieria trifasciata Megan is a striking and uncommon cultivar of the snake plant family, prized for its bold variegation and tall, architectural foliage. Like other Sansevieria trifasciata cultivars, it originates from tropical Africa, where these hardy succulents thrive in dry, rocky environments.
The leaves of Megan are upright, sword-shaped, and leathery, typically reaching 6090 cm indoors. They are decorated with dark green horizontal banding and accented with broad golden-yellow margins that give the plant a vibrant, glowing appearance. Compared to other variegated forms like Laurentii, Megan is known for its thicker yellow borders and strong vertical presence, making it both ornamental and commanding.
With its upright habit and resilience, this cultivar is perfect as a statement floor plant or for modern interiors where structure and colour contrast are valued.
Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates medium and low-light conditions, making it one of the most versatile houseplants. Strong light enhances its bold yellow margins, while too little light may dull the variegation.
Extremely drought tolerant. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In summer, watering every 23 weeks is sufficient; in winter, monthly or less. Overwatering is the primary risk.
Temperature: Prefers 1828C. Protect from prolonged exposure below 10C.
Humidity: Naturally adapted to dry air; no additional humidity is required.
Use a gritty, free-draining cactus or succulent compost. Choose a heavy pot to support its tall, upright leaves. Repot every 23 years in spring to refresh soil and accommodate clumping growth.
Apply a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser once a month during spring and summer. No feeding is required in autumn and winter.
Remove old, damaged, or yellowing leaves at the base. Clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to showcase their glossy, patterned appearance.
A slow to moderate grower, typically reaching 6090 cm tall indoors. Over time, it produces offsets (pups) from underground rhizomes, forming dense clumps. Mature plants may occasionally bloom, producing fragrant spikes of white-green flowers.
Yellow/mushy leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Wrinkled leaves: Underwatering revive with a thorough soak.
Pests: Rare, but may attract mealybugs or spider mites.
Snake plants are renowned for their hardiness and architectural beauty. The Megan cultivar is particularly valued for its strong yellow variegation and upright stature. Like all Sansevierias, it also has air-purifying properties, filtering toxins from the air and releasing oxygen even at night.
