Returns Simplified.Sansevieria Cinta is a striking and elegant cultivar of the snake plant family, prized for its tall, sword-shaped foliage with bold variegation. Like all Sansevierias, it is native to Africa and Asia, where these hardy succulents have adapted to survive in tough, dry conditions.
The name Cinta (meaning love in Indonesian/Malay) reflects the plants graceful appearance. Its leaves are long and upright, dark green with lighter horizontal banding, and edged with a distinctive yellow-golden margin. This crisp contrast between the bright borders and deep green centres gives the plant a luminous quality, making it stand out as a statement piece in modern interiors.
Typically, Sansevieria Cinta grows to around 6090 cm tall indoors, forming dense clumps over time. Its strong vertical habit makes it especially suited for floor pots, hallways, and offices, where its architectural form provides instant impact.
Extremely adaptable. Thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates medium and low light. Strong light enhances variegation. Avoid harsh, direct midday sun which can scorch pale margins.
Very drought tolerant. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. In summer, water every 23 weeks; in winter, reduce to monthly or less. Overwatering is the most common cause of issues.
Temperature: Prefers 1828C. Protect from frost; avoid prolonged exposure below 10C.
Humidity: Tolerates dry indoor air and thrives in centrally heated homes.
Plant in a gritty, free-draining cactus or succulent compost. Choose a sturdy pot to balance its tall leaves. Repot every 23 years in spring when roots crowd the pot.
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser. Do not feed in autumn and winter.
Remove old, yellowing, or damaged leaves at the base. Clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to maintain their glossy appearance.
A slow to moderate grower, reaching 6090 cm tall. Over time, it produces offsets, forming attractive clumps that can be divided to propagate new plants. Mature plants may occasionally produce fragrant spikes of greenish-white flowers.
Yellow/mushy leaves: Overwatering or poorly draining soil.
Wrinkling: Indicates prolonged drought water thoroughly, then allow to dry again.
Pests: Rare, but may occasionally attract mealybugs or spider mites.
Sansevierias are among the most resilient houseplants, recommended for both beginners and busy households. The Cinta cultivar is especially valued for its dramatic golden-edged foliage, which brightens interiors and adds an architectural touch. Like all snake plants, it also has air-purifying qualities, helping to filter toxins and improve indoor air quality.
