Snake Plant Laurentii

* Botanical Name: Sansevieria Trifasciata * Common Names: Snake plant, Laurentii, Mother-in-law's tongue * Description: This evergreen perennial native to tropical West Africa and Nigeria, is a great addition to any office or household as a natural air purifier. Snake plants have strong and sturdy, sword shaped leaves which are drought tolerant and retains the plants water. This plant can be easily propagated by leaf cuttings so you can multiply your family of snake plants or give them away as a gift. This particular variety will have a yellow outline along with its definitive dark green pattern towards the middle of each stalk.

Place in bright, indirect light to bring out the golden leaf margins; tolerates lower light, though it will grow more slowly. Water every 2–3 weeks, only once the soil is fully dry, and water at the soil line to avoid rot in the tall leaf spears. Use a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent mix in a pot with drainage. Wipe leaves to keep them glossy and dust-free. Keep away from pets and children, as snake plants are toxic if ingested.

The Snake Plant Laurentii is a true clean-living classic — nearly indestructible, beautifully architectural, and a natural air-purifying houseplant that asks for almost nothing in return. Its tall green blades edged in buttery yellow add instant height and structure to a shelf or floor corner. If you've ever doubted your green thumb, this is the plant that proves you have one.
