Sansevieria ‘Parva,’ sometimes called Kenya Hyacinth, is a compact snake plant variety with narrow, upright leaves and subtle striping. Its clean, vertical form makes it an excellent choice for small indoor spaces, desks, and modern plant styling.
Like other Sansevierias, ‘Parva’ is extremely drought-tolerant and thrives on minimal care. Water only when the soil has fully dried out. Overwatering is the most common issue, so a well-draining cactus or succulent mix is ideal.
This plant adapts well to a wide range of indoor light conditions, from lower light corners to bright rooms. Brighter light encourages faster growth, but it remains resilient even in less-than-perfect spots.
Sansevierias are also known for their air-cleansing reputation and durability, making them great starter plants for busy households.
With its tidy size and upright look, ‘Parva’ brings structure and easy greenery indoors year-round.
