| Soil & Site | average to well drained |
| Leaves | up to 6 spear shaped leaves per rosettedark green with light gray-green cross-banding |
| Dimensions | reaches 2-3 feet tall |
| Maintenance | Very little is needed just occasional re-potting when the plants get to large. They have very strong rhizomes and will crack almost any pot |
| Propagation | The easiest and most common way is by division. Just knock the plant out of the pot and divide into section. Most of the plants will root from partial leaf cuttings which is a leaf cut into sections and rooted. The draw back to this method is, if the plant is a sport (genetic variation) it will revert back to its parent plant. I have rooted Futura and Golden Snake plant from partial leaf cuttings and they both have reverted back to S. trifasciata. I have rooted S. trifascita and S. cylindica and they have come true from the partial leaf cutting. |
