Live Snake Plant, Sansevieria Zeylanica, Indoor Houseplant, Mother-in-Law's Tongue Plant

Sansevieria Zeylanica, also known as the 'Snake Plant' or 'Mother-in-Law's Tongue,' is a charismatic and hardy succulent that boasts an upright and tall growth habit. Spreading from its robust rootstock, this houseplant develops long, tapering spears as its foliage. The leaves are leathery and feature a variegated pattern of light to dark green shades, with horizontal striping that spans across the plant, adding visual contrast to its overall shape. The rigid foliage gently twists as it grows, lending a unique and diverse appearance to the Devil's Tongue.

The Snake Plant is an incredibly durable species that can thrive in most indoor conditions, with a remarkable tolerance for drought and low light. For the best results, it should be grown in a location that receives moderate to bright indirect sunlight, and watered once every one or two weeks, allowing the soil to dry out in between. This hardy houseplant can be showcased in a round terracotta pot for an earthy aesthetic or a modern white or copper planter box.

The Snake Plant can be displayed on its own or alongside other close relatives, such as Black Coral Snake Plant, Sansevieria Cylindrica, Sansevieria Masoniana, Sansevieria Moonshine, Sansevieria Trifasciata Bantel, Sansevieria Trifasciata Prain, or Sansevieria Trifasciata Zeylanica. Additionally, low-light houseplants like Croton Plant, Dieffenbachia, Fittonia Plant, Philodendron, Pothos Plant, Staghorn Fern, or ZZ Plant can be combined with the Sansevieria to create an intriguing and cohesive decor collection.

Sansevieria Zeylanica, the Snake Plant, is a stemless evergreen that grows elongated, sword-shaped leaves from its underground rootstock. This upright species is known for its firm structure and exceptional hardiness, making it a perennial that can thrive for years with proper care.

The Snake Plant's foliage is characterized by its intricate, horizontal ripples that range from lighter to darker shades of green, creating a visually striking contrast throughout the plant's unusual form. This intriguing pattern and the plant's distinctive shape make it a standout addition to any indoor decor, whether displayed on its own or combined with other houseplants.

The Sansevieria Zeylanica succulent can grow up to two or three feet in height, with its dark green, fibrous spears maintaining a circular clumping and rigid structure as they reach skyward. This indoor plant is a stunning vertical element that can beautifully fill vacant spaces in a room.

The Devil's Tongue Plant, as it is also known, is incredibly resilient and can even grow in dimly lit areas, similar to other low-light houseplants. However, it will thrive best with moderate to bright indirect sunlight, and may even enjoy the occasional direct sun exposure. Drought-tolerant and requiring minimal watering, this species is the perfect houseplant for beginning growers, as it nearly thrives on neglect.

Each live Snake Plant arrives healthy and fully rooted in a 4-inch grow pot, prepared for home decor. The plants are cared for within a rotated nursery stock with other potted plants prior to shipment, ensuring they are ready to be enjoyed for years to come. With its unique form, easy-going nature, and vibrant color, the Sansevieria Zeylanica is a delightful addition to any indoor living space.
