Snake Plant

Sansevieria ‘trifasciata’, Dracaena ‘trifasciata’; Mother-in-law’s tongue

• Light or shade

• Light watering

• Easy care

A hardy plant that doesn’t need much attention, the classic snake plant is a great option for beginners! Known as Sansevieria 'trafasciata’ thanks to its tri-colour foliage, which features two-tone leaves and a lime green edging, it’s an eye-catching easy-care plant that’s popular among plant experts and first-timers alike. It needs very little watering – every few weeks will be enough – and will thrive in almost any spot in your home. It will tolerate quite low light, making it a good option for north-facing rooms or shadier spaces. Give your plant’s leaves a wipe occasionally with a damp cloth to clear them of dust.
