| Soil & Site | average |
| Flowers | I have never seen this Sansevieria bloom. |
| Leaves | The vase-shaped rosette of yellow and green leaves |
| Dimensions | Will form offsets and easily fill up containers over time. |
| Maintenance | It will need to divided as it fills up a 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 |
| Native Site | The species plant is native to South Africa. |
