The Fernwood 'Mikado' belongs to the Sansevieria genus that has most recently been placed nowadays in the Dracaenaceae family of plants. Native to Africa, the Fernwood Mikado is a compact hybrid Snake Plant that features dark green leaves with light green tiger-print striping. Leaves are narrow, and with maturity, get longer and arch outward slightly. This plant is extremely resistant and can adapt to most indoor environments, but prefers bright light for best growth.
