Notes
'Whale Fin' snake plant (Dracaena masoniana 'Whale Fin') is a succulent for containers, indoor spaces, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist, sandy soil. It makes one broad leaf that looks like a whale fin. Divide it to keep the single leaf look.
Pairs well with Spider plant, Neon pothos, and Dumb cane.
