Snake Plant
Dracaena trifasciata
$144-inch
Architectural, air-cleaning, and virtually indestructible — the plant that thrives on neglect.
The Snake Plant, formerly Sansevieria trifasciata, is a low-maintenance architectural plant. Its stiff, upright leaves — banded in silver-green with crisp yellow margins on the classic Laurentii form — suit both compact apartments and larger interiors. It tolerates lower light and infrequent watering better than many tropical houseplants, though steady indirect light supports stronger growth. Treat it as a decorative plant, not as an air-treatment device.

Care guide
Care notes are illustrative general guidance, not a schedule or guarantee. Check soil and plant condition first, then adjust for season, climate, light, pot, and exact species.
Care tips
Water thoroughly then allow soil to dry completely — in winter, once a month is often sufficient. Use a terracotta pot to help wick away excess moisture. Avoid getting water in the central rosette as this can cause rot. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once in spring and once in summer. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and maximise photosynthesis.
Common issues
Soft, mushy leaves at the base indicate root rot from overwatering — the most common cause of death. Variegated leaves reverting to solid green suggest insufficient light. Wrinkled or curling leaves (in an otherwise healthy plant) can mean the plant is thirsty. Pests are rare but watch for mealybugs in the leaf axils.
