Variegated Shark Fin Snake Plant

Botanical Name: Sansevieria masoniana ‘Variegated’

Common Name(s): Variegated Shark Fin, Variegated Whale Fin

Description:

Bold. Sculptural. And absolutely not here to blend in. The Variegated Sansevieria masoniana—better known as the Whale Fin or Shark Fin Snake Plant—features massive, paddle-shaped leaves with striking streaks of deep green edged in creamy yellow variegation. Each leaf can reach up to 3 feet tall, growing upright in a dramatic rosette that looks more like modern art than a houseplant.

This stunner is as tough as it is good-looking. It thrives in low light, tolerates dry conditions like a champ, and doesn’t demand constant attention—making it perfect for busy plant parents or anyone who prefers their plants a little low-maintenance but high-impact.

Whether you’re styling a minimalist corner or anchoring a jungle shelf with a statement piece, this plant brings serious presence with very little fuss. Strong, stylish, and impossible to ignore—just how we like them. 🌿💪
