Returns Simplified.Sansevieria Manee Thawee is a rare and ornamental snake plant cultivar from Thailand, treasured for its compact, rosette-forming growth and decorative variegation. Like other Sansevierias, it belongs to the Asparagaceae family (formerly Liliaceae) and is admired for its toughness, drought tolerance, and sculptural form.
This variety produces dense rosettes of short, paddle-shaped leaves. Each leaf is thick, leathery, and slightly curved, with irregular cream, yellow, and pale green variegation contrasted against a dark green base. The variegation often appears marbled or streaked, giving every rosette a unique look. Mature plants grow in neat clumps, making them ideal for small containers or ornamental displays.
Compact in nature, Manee Thawee typically grows only 1525 cm tall, making it a perfect desk, shelf, or windowsill plant. Its manageable size and intricate foliage have made it especially popular among collectors of rare Sansevierias.
Very adaptable. Best in bright, indirect light to enhance variegation, though it will also tolerate medium and even low-light conditions. Avoid intense, direct sun, which can scorch pale leaf sections.
Highly drought tolerant. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. In summer, watering every 23 weeks is usually sufficient; in winter, reduce to monthly or less. Overwatering is the greatest risk, leading to rot.
Temperature: Thrives in 1828C. Must be kept above 10C.
Humidity: Prefers dry to average indoor humidity. Excellent for centrally heated homes.
Plant in a gritty, free-draining cactus or succulent compost. Repot only when clumps outgrow the container, typically every 23 years. Shallow pots suit its rosette form.
Apply a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser once a month during spring and summer. No feeding is needed in autumn and winter.
Remove old or damaged leaves at the base. Clean the foliage occasionally with a damp cloth to maintain its natural sheen.
A slow-growing variety, typically 1525 cm tall. Produces offsets (pups) over time, forming attractive clusters. Mature specimens may occasionally bloom, producing small spikes of fragrant white-green flowers.
Mushy/yellow leaves: Overwatering.
Wrinkled leaves: Underwatering water deeply, then allow soil to dry again.
Pests: Rare, but mealybugs or spider mites may appear in very dry conditions.
Originating from Thailand, Sansevieria Manee Thawee is a sought-after collectors plant due to its compact habit and vibrant variegation. Like all Sansevierias, it is exceptionally hardy and air-purifying, filtering toxins from indoor air while producing oxygen even at night.
