Sansevieria hahnii 'Pagoda' is a compact and structurally distinctive snake plant available. Its short, broad leaves stack tightly in overlapping layers, building upward into a tiered rosette that resembles a miniature pagoda, giving the cultivar its name. The foliage is dark green with subtle lighter banding, and the overall form is dense, symmetrical, and architectural. It stays small, making it ideal for desks, windowsills, or curated plant displays where space is limited.

Origins
Sansevieria hahnii is a dwarf cultivar derived from Sansevieria trifasciata, the classic snake plant native to the dry savannahs and rocky outcrops of West Africa, from Nigeria eastward. The 'hahnii' form was first identified as a sport (a natural mutation) in a New Orleans nursery in the 1940s and was selected for its compact, bird's nest rosette growth habit. 

Soil and Substrate
Sansevieria hahnii 'Pagoda' needs a fast-draining substrate. Its compact rosette form holds water between the leaves, which means a moisture-retaining substrate increases the risk of rot. Our Desert Mix is a peat-free cacti and succulent substrate formulated for sharp drainage, closely replicating the gritty, mineral soils Sansevieria grow in naturally.
