Origin
The Sansevieria trifasciata 'Silver Mist' is a houseplant that originally comes from West Africa. The plant naturally grows in dry, rocky areas and is part of the Asparagaceae family. In West African cultures, the plant is often used for its fibres, which are used to craft ropes and baskets.

Characteristics
Characteristic of the Sansevieria trifasciata 'Silver Mist' are the silvery-grey, striped leaves that vertically protrude from the ground, similar to swords. The plant can grow up to a height of 90 cm and is a slow-growing type. The leaf edges of the 'Silver Mist' are pigmented green, providing a striking contrast to the silvery leaves. It is a succulent, meaning it stores water in its leaves, stems, and roots to survive drought periods.

Care
Despite its exotic origin, the Sansevieria trifasciata 'Silver Mist' is an easy-to-care-for houseplant. It only needs a moderate amount of light to grow and can cope well with drought. In winter, reducing water intake is crucial to avoid root rot. It is best to plant it in well-draining soil and ensure that excess water can drain away properly after watering.
