Dracaena (Sansevieria) trifasciata 'Black Coral'

Dracaena trifasciata 'Black Coral' is a dark-leaved snake plant with tall, firm blades that rise from the base in strong vertical fans. The foliage is deep green to almost black, crossed by softer grey-green horizontal banding that gives the leaves a layered look. Its shape stays simple and defined, while the colour gives the plant a deep, shadowed look in the pot.

This cultivar combines height, dark foliage and muted banding in a clear sword-leaf outline. It grows from a rhizome, so new leaves appear from the base and gradually increase the density of the clump. Over time, fresh shoots fill the pot beside the older leaves, creating a fuller plant with a steady vertical shape.

Dark banded leaves with a strong vertical line

  • Leaf colour: Deep green to near-black blades give the plant a saturated, grounded look in the pot.
  • Pattern: Horizontal grey-green banding softens the dark foliage and adds depth across the blade.
  • Growth base: The rhizome produces new shoots beside older leaves, slowly thickening the plant.
  • Indoor size: Mature plants can reach around 0.5–1 m, depending on light, pot size and growing conditions.
  • Flowering: Older, settled plants may occasionally send up fragrant, greenish-white flower spikes.

Seasonally dry origins behind the tough leaves

Dracaena trifasciata is a rhizomatous geophyte from seasonally dry tropical parts of Africa. Its firm leaves store moisture, while the rhizome needs air around it after watering. The visible plant is only part of the structure; below the substrate, the rhizome stores energy and sends up new leaf fans when conditions are warm and stable.

'Black Coral' keeps the broad, sword-shaped leaf form associated with Dracaena trifasciata, with darker colouring across the blade. The muted banding gives the leaves depth and keeps the surface visually rich. In steady filtered light, the blades usually stay firm and clearly patterned. In dimmer positions, adjust watering to the slower drying pace of the pot.

Repotting intervals are usually long. A slightly snug container helps the substrate dry predictably and keeps the rhizome stable. When the pot becomes crowded, new shoots may press against the sides or distort the nursery pot. That is usually the right moment to move it into a slightly larger container.

Water, light and potting mix

  • Light: In bright indirect light, leaves stay firm and the banding remains visible. Lower light is tolerated, with longer drying time between waterings.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after most or all of the potting mix has dried. Let excess water drain away, then wait for the substrate to dry again before the next soak.
  • Substrate: A mineral-structured mix with pumice, lava rock, coarse sand or fine bark keeps air around the rhizome after watering.
  • Pot choice: Drainage holes are essential. A decorative cover pot is fine when standing water is emptied after each watering.
  • Temperature: Keep it in normal indoor warmth, ideally around 18–27 °C. A warm root zone keeps the pot drying more steadily after watering.
  • Humidity: Average household humidity is enough. The leaves are adapted to dry intervals and normal room air.
  • Feeding: A diluted balanced or cactus fertiliser during active growth is sufficient. Slow rhizome growth needs light feeding.
  • Repotting: Move it on when the rhizome has filled the pot, the container is deforming, or the substrate has lost structure.
  • Propagation: Divide established clumps by separating rooted rhizome sections. Division preserves the full clump shape.

Dark foliage problem signs

  • Soft tissue near the base: Inspect the rhizome area, cover pot and substrate depth. Mushy bases usually come from moisture held too long around the lower plant.
  • Wrinkled or folding leaves: Check whether the pot is very dry, then inspect root health. A plant with damaged roots can look thirsty even when the mix has been watered.
  • Brown leaf tips: Review watering consistency, mineral buildup and old handling damage. Dry tips can be trimmed within the dead tissue.
  • Leaning growth: Turn the pot occasionally so the leaves receive light evenly. A crowded clump can also push older leaves sideways.
  • Slow shoot production: Slow growth is normal, especially in winter. Check light and warmth first, then adjust feeding only during active growth.

Safe placement at home

Keep Dracaena trifasciata 'Black Coral' away from pets and small children who may bite the leaves. Snake plants contain saponins, which can cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea in cats and dogs if ingested. The firm leaves also benefit from a stable position where the pot stays secure.

Dracaena, Sansevieria and the banded species name

The accepted botanical name for the species is Dracaena trifasciata, while Sansevieria trifasciata remains the older name still widely used in plant shops and care guides. The genus name Dracaena comes from the Greek drakaina, meaning “female dragon”, a name historically linked to red resin in some dragon tree relatives. The species epithet trifasciata means “three-banded” or “marked with three bands”, from Latin tri- for three and fasciatus for banded.

Dracaena trifasciata 'Black Coral' has tall, dark, banded leaves with a steady upright form.

Great purchase and recommend!
Size: 15.6" 1080P, Size: 15.6" 1080P
What a great product! First I’ll start by saying it’s very lightweight which is what I needed to fit in my bag. I bought two of them because I need three screens and I couldn’t be happier. Set up, one cord!!! No power cord needed pulls power from the laptop so that’s a huge win in my book! I love the size I love the case is attached. Definitely recommend

Works as advertised, but included USB-C cable was defective.
Size: 15.6" 1080P
This monitor performs great! Picture quality, brightness, all work as expected. When powered by a phone, you may have to limit the brightness below 80% if you don't attach extra power. The good news is, I can attach a power bank for the extra power, and any extra power not needed by the monitor will pass through and charge my phone. I've tested this with my laptop, phone, and tablet, and it works great in all cases. One extra plus that I didn't expect, because it was not listed in the product description and also not mentioned in any reviews that I saw, is that this monitor has VESA compatible holes for a VESA mount hidden behind the magnetic cover on the back. Beautiful. If I ever decide to mount it to an arm I can do it. All the advertised functionality works as expected with ONE exception. The USB-C cable that came with this monitor was faulty. It had a short across a couple of wires which could have caused damage to my phone had my phone not recognized it and alerted me of foreign object or water in the port. That water and foreign object warning basically means something is causing wires to be connected that shouldn't be and assumes you have a good cable. In my case, it was the cable itself that was faulty, and I used a tester to make sure. While the description says "do not use other USB-C to USB-C cables", that is just to cover themselves, because many people will use a USB-C cable meant only for charging, or one that is not display compatible. I have cables of varying lengths that are Thunderbolt USB-C which all handle between 100-240W power, data up to 100Gbps, and displays up to 8K. I just used one of my cables and everything works just fine. If you're having trouble with your monitor, or intermittent connections with the monitor (I did before I got the warning) then you may have a bad cable. Get a quality cable and make sure it's rated for display port, high data throughput (ideally minimum 40Gbps), and decent power capacity. Some will work for data but not power. Some work with power but not data. Some work with power and data, but only one at a time. You have to flip the connector to go between modes. I don't know why they make those, and those that manufacture such garbage should be locked up, but that's another story for another day. Bottom line is this. It's a quality monitor. If it ever starts having issues, I'll update the review. The cables I'm not so sure of. The HDMI cable is sufficient enough for FHD display, but I wouldn't recommend swapping it over to a higher res monitor, as it probably can't handle it. The USB-C cable has quality control issues, as they sourced out inexpensive cables for this monitor to keep the costs down. No big deal for me, as I have an abundance of good cables, but keep that in mind that you may need to consider the cost of quality cables for this monitor. I'm glad I bought it. It's going to make me much more productive. While I was disappointed in the USB-C cable, it's not a deal breaker as I already had plenty. Minus one star for the bad cable.

Versatile, Great size, great value and bright. A little heavy, but well worth the cost.
Size: 15.6" 1080P
I own two of these monitors, I have been very happy with them. I carry them in my backpack/laptop case with all of my needed accessories, and it just simply works. I work from home and I was looking for something that I could take with me when I travel. My typical home setup involves a 43" LG monitor in the center, and then four additional 1080P monitors. When I am on the road, I need something smaller to have more "real estate" to work with. I usually use a hotel 4k TV or 4k tv at the air BNB we stay at so that I don't have to the 43" LG, but sometimes I just use these two portable screens. I have held meetings from a roadside park from the back of my Suburban with these while we were camping, from Panera while mixing audio, from a waiting room at an office while waiting on someone to complete their day, etc. All in all, the two that I have allow me to streamline my workflow when travelling. I have multiple windows up during the workday; I gather information from those screens and consolidate/copy/paste/ reference the data on my main laptop screen in the front and center. These monitors simply allow me to replicate what I have at home, but on a smaller and (somewhat) lighter scale. The good: I am not a gamer, so I cannot comment on how these would work in a gaming setup, I work on documents and reporting. With that said, these have great color at a great size. I can fit my Macbook Pro, and up to four of these screens in my bag, plus all my accessories, including Jabra Engage 75 headset, Plantronics headset (backup) , Apple keyboard and mouse, StreamDeck, USB-C Hub, and when needed, a universal Docking station that uses DisplayLink technology (Dell UD22) to get the extra screens. Without that, the Mac won't support more than 3 or 4 displays (Check specs for your PC/Mac). I like that these are USB-C *AND* HDMI. I can use them on pretty much any modern PC. To use the HDMI, however, You do need to power the monitor over USB-C with the provided cable. That's not a product issue, it's simply because that's the way HDMI works, there is no power over the cable. VESA capable, which is a big plus, I have magnetic VESA arms and I leave the plates on these monitors so I can use them anywhere. The bad: The rotator dial on the side has a tendency to get smashed in, but I don't use audio on either of the screens. I have a Bluetooth noise cancelling over the hear headphone set for that. A more solid design would have been with tactile push buttons instead of the rotator dial. I only have this problem with one of the screens. When I put them the backpack, I now put them in with the rotator dial pointed up to ensure a drop of the bag doesn't chance damaging the equipment. The ugly: The weight of the screens and associated covers adds about 2.5 lbs each, which is a lot. I have ordered two more, so that will be 10 lbs in the laptop backpack. May need to switch to a roller bag to cart this entourage around. Once I get the other two, I will revise this review. Right now I don't know if I will have to use the UD22 to utilize all of these screens simultaneously.

Great product for a great price
Size: 15.6" 1080P
I REALLY like this. I need 2 screens to do my job efficiently and have struggled lately when traveling. Splurged on this for myself and was really impressed. It’s nice and lightweight but feels sturdy. The image quality is good. The set up could not be easier. This is a game changer for me.

Works pretty well for a cheap monitor
Size: 15.6" 1080P
I work remote and travel, so I miss my multi monitor setup. Not anymore. I took this on a trip with me and it was great. The stand folded over to not take up too much desk space, the cables wear just long enough, another 6” would have been great but they worked. Quality of the screen is plenty good enough for office work, I have no gaming or artwork experience with it though. If you need an inexpensive 2nd monitor , this works great for on the go or even for a regular desk.
