Sansevieria bacularis 'Mikado,' also known as Mikado Snake Plant or African Spear Plant, is an eye-catching and unique succulent appreciated for its distinctive appearance and low-maintenance care requirements. This member of the Asparagaceae family is native to tropical regions of Africa and is popularly cultivated as a houseplant due to its adaptability to indoor conditions. 'Mikado' features cylindrical, upright leaves that grow in a dense cluster, resembling spears, hence its common names. With its architectural appeal and ability to purify indoor air, this snake plant variety has become a favored choice for modern interiors and offices.
Why We Like It:
- Architectural beauty: The upright and cylindrical leaves of 'Mikado' create a visually striking and modern appearance.
- Air-purifying qualities: Like other snake plants, 'Mikado' helps improve indoor air quality by removing toxins and pollutants.
- Low-maintenance: This succulent is easy to care for, requiring infrequent watering and tolerating a variety of light conditions.
What to Know:
- Light requirements: Sansevieria bacularis 'Mikado' thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions, making it suitable for various indoor locations.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry almost completely between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Temperature preferences: It prefers average indoor temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C) and can withstand mild temperature fluctuations.
- Soil preferences: Well-draining soil is essential for this plant to prevent waterlogged conditions.
- Propagation: 'Mikado' can be propagated through division, by separating the offsets that emerge from the base of the plant.
Flower Color: Sansevieria bacularis 'Mikado' occasionally produces small, greenish-white flowers on tall spikes. However, the primary appeal of this plant lies in its unique foliage rather than its blooms.
Flowering Months: The flowering of 'Mikado' snake plants occurs sporadically, and the blooms are not the plant's main feature.
Height and Spread: When fully grown, Sansevieria bacularis 'Mikado' typically reaches a height of around 60-90 cm (24-36 inches) with a similar spread. Its compact and upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for small spaces and minimalist interiors, where it can be displayed as a statement piece.
