Sansevieria hybrid 'Pagoda' (also classified as Dracaena 'Pagoda')
The Sansevieria 'Pagoda' is a striking, low-maintenance succulent valued for its unique, compact, tower-shaped growth habit and attractive grey-green foliage with silvery blotches. Its architectural form and air-purifying qualities make it a popular choice for indoor gardening.
Key Characteristics:
- Appearance: Features thick, wedge-shaped leaves that stack neatly, forming a compact, pagoda-like tower. The leaves are greyish-green and may display variegation in some cultivars.
- Size: A dwarf or slow-grower, initially reaching about 4 inches tall; stems can grow taller over time.
- Growth Habit: Multiplies quickly, forming impressive clusters of small, tower-shaped plants.
- Toxicity: Toxic if ingested; caution is advised around pets and children.
Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers medium to bright indirect light but can tolerate low light and short bursts of direct sun. Placing it near south or west-facing windows promotes optimal growth.
- Water: Extremely drought-resistant; water deeply when the soil is dry, typically once every few weeks in warm months, and infrequently in cooler seasons.
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as cactus and succulent mix with added grit like pumice, perlite, or coarse sand.
- Temperature: Thrives in average indoor temperatures; not frost-tolerant—best brought indoors in cooler climates (USDA Zones 10-12).
- Fertilizer: Feed every two to three months during spring and fall with a diluted succulent fertilizer.
This captivating, architectural succulent is perfect for adding a modern touch to your indoor space while being easy to care for.
