Description
Aesthetically on point and amazingly resilient, needing very little while looking great year-round, Sansevieria zeylanica offers endless possibilities to refresh and enhance any living space. This live snake plant, also known as Ceylon bowstring hemp or devil’s tongue, exhibits an upright form of variegated sword-shaped leaves that taper to points. The leaves are a stripe-y mix of dark green and light gray green. Native to Sri Lanka, this plant is difficult to kill and will survive drought or dimly lit environments. Display by itself, with other snake plants, or complement and contrast with different houseplants as well as decorative elements. Put simply, this snake plant has a knack for enhancing the feel-good, stress-relieving urban jungle vibes of plant-friendly home décor. While it’s heralded for handling low-light spaces, you can absolutely place the plant in moderate- to bright-light spots. You can also grow it outside in sun to shade if temperatures are mostly on the mild to warm side. As lush, full, and tropical as the leaves look, snake plants thrive with very little water, making them great plants for beginners, forgetful gardeners, travelers, and plant parents who prefer a light-touch approach to plant parenting. They make perfect housewarming gifts. Provide a well-draining soil mix designed for succulents. Only water when the soil is thoroughly dry. Water less in winter. Rots easily if overwatered. Hardy to USDA Zone 9 to 12. Protect from frost. Altman Plants Mother-in-law's Tongue, Snake Plant in 1-Pint Pot | 0880031
