📌 Product Description

Dracaena trifasciata ‘Black Star’ is a compact dwarf snake plant from the Hahnii group, known for its deep green to almost black-toned leaves highlighted by subtle lighter green striping. The short, broad foliage forms a tight rosette resembling a bird’s nest, making it ideal for smaller spaces.

This cultivar offers bold, dramatic colour while maintaining the same hardy, low-maintenance nature snake plants are known for. It thrives indoors and tolerates a wide range of light conditions, making it a reliable choice for homes and offices.
