Sansevieria trifasciata – Sayuri (小百合) “Lanza” (Large)

Adopted

“Lanza” is a striking Sansevieria sayuri, named after the Spanish word for spear, a tribute to its tall, upright form. Its silvery-green leaves stand gracefully, each one touched with subtle vertical striping that shimmers in the light. With a sleek, metallic look, Sayuri adds a refined and modern presence to any collection. Strong yet elegant, it thrives with little attention, embodying the effortless resilience of Sansevierias.

Sansevieria sayuri, often called the Silver Snake Plant, is native to Africa, where many Sansevieria species evolved to withstand arid conditions. Sayuri distinguishes itself with its pale, silver-toned foliage, a contrast to the darker greens of its relatives. Known for its durability, it tolerates drought, adapts to varied light, and is often referenced for its potential to purify indoor air as noted in the NASA Clean Air Study. “Lanza” represents both strength and grace—an architectural plant with a quiet shimmer of silver beauty.
