This is a small variety of snake plant known as Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii', also called Bird’s Nest Snake Plant. Its leaves grow in a rosette formation, tightly arranged to resemble a bird’s nest. The plant’s height typically does not exceed 20 cm, making it an ideal choice for small indoor spaces. It is a very easy-to-care-for indoor plant.
Care Tips
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light but is also tolerant of low light. In low light, the leaf coloration may fade slightly, but the plant will still survive.
Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Watering
Drought-tolerant and best suited to the "soak and dry" method—water only when the soil is completely dry. Avoid overwatering.
When watering, ensure no water accumulates in the center of the rosette to prevent rot.
Temperature and Humidity
The ideal temperature range is 18–30°C (65–86°F). It is not frost-hardy and needs protection when temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F).
Humidity requirements are low, and it thrives in dry indoor environments.
Soil
Use well-draining soil, such as a succulent mix or a blend of regular potting soil with added sand.
Repot every 1–2 years to maintain healthy roots.
Fertilizer
During the growing season (spring and summer), apply diluted succulent fertilizer once a month. Stop fertilizing during autumn and winter.
Benefits
Easy to care for: Perfect for beginners; it thrives even with minimal attention.
Air purification: Like other snake plants, Hahnii helps purify indoor air.
Space adaptability: Its compact size makes it perfect for desks, bookshelves, or windowsills.
Cautions
Avoid overwatering: Excess moisture is the most common cause of root rot.
Prevent cold damage: In winter, keep the plant away from drafts or cold windows.
This bird’s nest snake plant is not only beautiful but also highly functional, making it an excellent choice to enhance indoor spaces. With proper care, it may even produce small white flowers occasionally!
这是一种小型的虎皮兰,哈尼矮虎皮兰,也叫鸟巢虎皮兰,英文是Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii' (Snake Plant bird nest) ,Hahnii读法是哈-尼-哎(矮)。它的叶片呈莲座状生长,紧密排列,形似鸟巢。它的高度通常不超过20厘米,是较小的室内空间的理想选择。它是非常易于养护的室内植物。

浇水
耐旱,适合“干透再浇”的原则,避免积水。
浇水时避免水滴积聚在叶片中央,以免引发腐烂。
温度与湿度
最佳生长温度为18-30℃,不耐寒,低于10℃时需要注意防冻。
对湿度要求不高,干燥的室内环境也适合。
土壤
使用排水性良好的土壤,例如多肉植物专用土或添加沙子的混合土壤。
每1-2年可换盆一次,以促进根系健康。
施肥
生长季(春夏)可每月施一次稀释的多肉植物专用肥,秋冬停止施肥。
优点
易于养护:非常适合新手,即使略有忽视也能生长良好。
空气净化:像其他虎尾兰品种一样,‘Hahnii’也具有净化空气的作用。
