Hahnii ‘Ocean Star’ Snake Plant, 4-Inch Pot
Hahnii ‘Ocean Star’ is a compact snake plant with sturdy, patterned leaves arranged in a sculptural rosette. Its small footprint makes it easy to enjoy on a bright shelf or desk. Each plant’s striping, edge color, fullness, and leaf height can vary.
Size and what ships
One live Hahnii ‘Ocean Star’ snake plant in a 4-inch nursery grow pot. Exact height and leaf count vary at shipping. With time and suitable care, the rosette may become fuller and produce offsets; a mature clump is not what ships.
Care guide
- Light: Bright indirect light supports steady growth and clear leaf markings. It can tolerate lower light, but growth will be slower; avoid sudden exposure to harsh direct sun.
- Water: Let the potting mix dry well between thorough waterings, then drain excess. Water less often in winter or low light. Keep water from lingering in the center of the rosette.
- Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix in a pot with drainage.
- Temperature and humidity: Keep in normal warm indoor conditions away from frost. Average indoor humidity is suitable; avoid cold, wet soil.
- Feeding: Feed sparingly with diluted houseplant fertilizer during active spring and summer growth if needed.
- Repotting: Repot one size up when roots crowd the pot, ideally in the growing season. Do not bury the leaf bases deeply.
- Propagation: Mature plants may form offsets that can be divided when rooted. Leaf cuttings may not preserve a variegated plant’s original pattern.
Pet safety
Snake plants can cause stomach upset if eaten by pets. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.
Optional planter
