The Variegated Whale Fin Sansevieria is a rare and stunning version of the classic Whale Fin Snake Plant, prized for its oversized, paddle-shaped leaf marked with striking variegation. With creamy-yellow stripes or marbled patterns over deep green, this slow-growing statement plant is highly sought-after by collectors. Native to Central Africa, it’s known for being both tough and tolerant, thriving on neglect and low-maintenance care—making it perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a sculptural, modern houseplant.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its bold variegation, though it can also adapt to moderate or filtered light, including north- or east-facing windows. The more light it receives (without direct sun scorch), the more vivid the variegation becomes. In lower light, growth will be slower and variegation may fade slightly. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, especially through uncovered south- or west-facing windows, which can burn the leaf edges over time.
As a true succulent, the Variegated Whale Fin stores water in its thick leaves and needs a well-draining soil mix—a cactus or succulent blend is ideal. Water only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2–4 weeks depending on your home's humidity and temperature. Overwatering is the quickest way to harm this plant. It thrives in normal indoor humidity, and doesn’t require misting. With minimal fuss and the right light, this rare beauty will stand tall and elegant, anchoring any space with natural, architectural drama.

I greatly appreciate the dedication on each one of my orders! Service and packaging always 20/10! Thank you Mel! ♥️

As soon as I found The Rooted Plant Shop, I fell in love with Mel and her plants. I placed 2 orders 4 plants each. All plants came healthy and full of life. They all were larger than I thought they would be and packaged nice and neat without any damage during transit. Will be placing more orders in the near future.

Always look forward to my monthly box! With out fail, my plants arrive well wrapped and in wonderful condition! Thank you so much!!!

This plant arrived in great condition, with huge pitchers (one pitcher is 14”). It’s beyond my expectations.
Rooted Plant Shop shipped it in it’s pot (many Nepenthes sellers say large pitchers are too big to ship in a pot).

I received another order today from The Rooted Plant Shop and I couldn't love it more! Mel takes such good care of her plants before they become ours. She packages them with so much care and they arrive in just a couple of days. I am again absolutely happy with my order!
She arrived in perfect health, I was happy with my purchase.
