Botanical Name: Dracaena trifasciata ‘Whitney’ (syn. Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Whitney’)
Common Names: Dwarf Whitney Snake Plant, Whitney Snake Plant, Compact Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law’s Tongue ‘Whitney’

📌 Product Description

Dracaena trifasciata ‘Whitney’, commonly known as Dwarf Whitney Snake Plant, is a compact cultivar valued for its broad, dark green leaves edged with subtle silver-grey banding. Unlike taller snake plant varieties, ‘Whitney’ forms a shorter, fuller rosette, making it ideal for smaller spaces and tabletop displays.

Its sturdy upright foliage provides a bold architectural look while remaining extremely low-maintenance. As with other snake plants, it is highly adaptable and tolerant of irregular watering and low light conditions.

A resilient and stylish plant perfectly suited to South African homes, offices, and modern interiors.
