Sansevieria Mother-In-Law's Tongue

The Sansevieria Mother-In-Law's Tongue, also known as a Snake Plant (Sansevieria zeylanica) is a fantastic tropical focal point that requires minimal care and adds vertical texture to your home and frost-free garden areas! The tall blades of stiff leathery foliage blades feature broad bands of gray-green and skinny bands of deep green. All streaking horizontally across each blade.

Sansevieria forms stiff rosettes of pointed, upright growing blades with new leaves forming from the center and outsides of each clump, these form slowly-expanding bunches of vertical easy-care texture and form. The leathery leaves are difficult to break or bruise, so they’re great plants for high-traffic areas and locations with kids and pets that are less than careful around plants.

As your plants grow, you'll be excited to see 'pups' or 'daughter plants' popping up as they grow from the roots and grow alongside the mother plant! Native to hot and tropical West Africa and India, they are very forgiving houseplants and seasonal patio décor! Snake Plants thrive outside in USDA growing zones 10 and 11.

Planting and Application:

Add formal upright texture to borders and along paths and walkways. A low hedge of these fantastic plants adds a unique form to the garden as punctuation marks! Pot up in tall, slender planters for decorating your front door and dotted evenly around a seating area. Northern growers can bring these porch and patio summer accents indoors for the winter.

Very easy to care for any bright location indoors in a pot with very good drainage and room to grow. These are incredible plants for the office, dressing up a lobby or waiting area without worrying if these plants will become damaged or get in the way. The vertical growth is space-saving and won't get in the way of foot traffic. Include potted Sansevieria to a sunny enclosed porch and sunroom, bright window and perfect for small homes and spaces.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Snake Plants do best in full sun and can tolerate partial shade, but you'll see a bit less of that dramatic color in less than 6 hours of sun. Indoor plants like bright, indirect sunlight. Low moisture to average moisture, these tropical plants actually despise soggy soil and poor drainage, so provide well-drained soil. The Sansevierias' toughness and adaptability make them fantastic for forgetful gardeners and busy folks and won't mind if you skip a watering here and there. Trim foliage as needed, remove old leaves and divide or repot once these plants become crowded.

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Low Moisture Once Established
• Requires Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate Fertility & Very Low Maintenance
• Prune & Trim Foliage As Needed
