Description
Sansevieria, which is native to Africa, is commonly called the snake plant, because of the shape of its leaves, or mother-in-law's tongue because of their sharpness. It forms dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping roots. Its stiff sword-shaped leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Leaves are banded yellow on either side with a deep green, lightly banded center. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding. It is grown for the hemp-like fiber in the leaves, which is called bowstring hemp. They are an attractive plant for pot culture and are very durable to a wide range of condition. The grow small greenish-white flowers on spikes but are attractive due to their foliage.They tolerate low light conditions and are very drought tolerant. They are propagated by division of roots at anytime of the year.

My experience is very good . Thank you for give ahealthy plant..I would like to say only one think that the condition of the plant pot should be a little better..
Excellent
The Sansevieria Compacta looks fine..but it came with a few brown spots on the inner two leaves.
Had got a Golden Hahnii as well...the leaves are narrow and longish...maybe because it lacked nourishment in the nursery pot.
