Snake Plant

Thai / trade name
ลิ้นมังกรlin mangkon
Common name
Mother-in-law’s Tongue / Snake Plant
Scientific name
Dracaena trifasciata (Prain) Mabb.syn. Sansevieria trifasciata
A clump of stiff upright leaves with pale yellow margins in front of a light wall.
Plate 02 / 06 · Reference photographSupplied photograph of a yellow-margined selection. Cultivar is stated only once confirmed.

Specification

No trunk to measure, so the count becomes the specification.

A clump-forming plant has no caliper and no single leader, so the honest measurement is mature leaf count per clump alongside height and spread. Damaged leaf tips are the most common reason a clump is rejected at inspection.

Cultivar is stated on the specification only once confirmed for the lot.

Plate sequence

What we look at, in order.

Supplied reference photograph — not a verified export lot. Each plate below is part of the same reading: how the plant is used, how it is built, and the leaf, stem or clump detail that decides whether a lot passes inspection.

  1. A full upright clump of stiff banded leaves drawn against a plain pale ground.
    Plate 01 / 06 · Concept visualWhole-clump study on a plain ground.
  2. A nursery growing area with many container-grown snake plants in black bags, hills behind.
    Plate 03 / 06 · Reference photographGrowing area, container-grown. Leaf tips are exposed at this stage — tip damage is the usual reason a clump is rejected.
  3. A single clump of yellow-margined snake plant leaves, showing cross-banding and clean margins.
    Plate 04 / 06 · Reference photographOne clump at close range: count the mature leaves, then check every margin and tip.
  4. Snake plants planted in a shaded courtyard bed beside a gravel path, with ferns and a tree.
    Plate 05 / 06 · Reference photographIntended landscape use: architectural mass planting in shade, where the upright leaf line does the work.

Lead time is a starting point, not a promise.
