1. Basic Identification
Common Name: Dwarf Snake Plant
Botanical Name: Dracaena trifasciata
Former Name: Not available
Plant Type: Not available
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0075
Alternative Names:
جلد النمر
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Asparagales
Family: Asparagaceae
Genus: Dracaena (formerly Sansevieria)
Species: Dracaena trifasciata
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to tropical Western Africa, including Nigeria and the Congo region.
Widely cultivated and naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions globally as an ornamental indoor plant.
4. Visual Characteristics
Evergreen perennial with stiff, upright, sword-shaped leaves.
Leaves are dark green with lighter grey-green horizontal banding; Dwarf variety has shorter leaves (~15–30 cm tall).
Leaf margins are smooth; new leaves emerge from a basal rosette with overlapping sheaths.
Foliage has a thick, succulent texture and a glossy finish.
5. Size & Dimensions
Height: 15–30 cm (6–12 inches) for Dwarf variety.
Spread: 10–20 cm (4–8 inches).
Leaf length: up to 30 cm.
Growth rate: slow, reaching mature size over several years.
6. Light Requirements
Thrives in bright indirect light; tolerates low-light conditions.
Avoid direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Adapts well to fluorescent office lighting.
7. Watering Needs
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Water moderately (approximately every 2–3 weeks) and reduce in winter.
Sensitive to overwatering, which can cause root rot.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.
Amend with perlite or coarse sand for improved drainage.
Plant in containers with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature: 18–27 °C (65–80 °F).
Minimum temperature: above 10 °C (50 °F).
Tolerates average home humidity; low humidity is acceptable.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) diluted to half strength.
Fertilize monthly during spring and summer growing seasons.
Do not fertilize in fall and winter when growth slows.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Low maintenance; minimal pruning required.
Remove dead or damaged leaves by cutting at the base.
Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound.
12. Growth & Propagation
Propagate by division of rhizomes during repotting.
Leaf cuttings can be rooted in soil or water, though more slowly.
Growth is clumping and slow; new shoots form from underground rhizomes.
13. Common Problems
Overwatering causes root rot and yellowing leaves.
Leaf tip browning from fluoride in water or low humidity.
Susceptible to pests: mealybugs, spider mites, thrips.
Sunburn from direct hot sun, leading to brown patches.
14. Benefits & Uses
Excellent air purifier, removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene (NASA study).
Ideal for low-light offices, bedrooms, and living spaces.
Compact size suits desks, shelves, and small apartments.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Contains saponins; ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea in pets and humans.
Keep out of reach of children and animals to prevent accidental ingestion.
