Product Details
The Snake Plant, also referred to as the Mother-In-Law’s tongue in some parts of the world. Its genus name is the Sansevieria Trifasciata ‘Futura Robusta’, and it’s a type of succulent that’s extremely resilient/easy to maintain. Besides the fact that it’s hard to kill, the snake also can purify indoor air! About two feet tall and half a foot wide, this plant catches the eye with its deep green hues and unique looking leaves!
The Snake Plant has striking foliage that allows it to stand out from the crowd. More specifically, its pointy, slim leaves stand straight up and grow in tall bunches. Occasionally the leaves fan out at odd angles and give it the appearance of arms reaching up to the sky.
I remember there was one time a customer reached out to us after Covid and he was hoping to replace his plants that died over the year no one was in office. He said, "I want all snake plants" and I wondered why, and he responded with, "over the year and a half we weren't in office, no one was there to take care of the plants, and not surprisingly, ALL the plants in there died EXCEPT for the few snake plants that we got to fill space, they were chillin' like Bob Dylan. No light, no water, no care, no problem"
The snake plant is the easiest plant to keep alive, period. It is tolerant of low lighting, high lighting, drought, low humidity, negligence, pretty much anything you throw its way. A perfect plant for anyone that just started with houseplants.
Lighting
Stick it anywhere you want, doesn't matter. It can be as dark as your closet (well maybe not NO light) or as bright as the desert (sorry, blanking on the desert names)
This is the absolute best low light plant for an apartment or a dark area of your home.
Watering
They are VERY drought tolerant. Do anything you want to it, just don't water it. That was an exaggeration. Just water the plant once every month or so, when half the soil is very very dry across a few spots of the soil.
If you are a regular Pafe Plants reader, you're probably familiar with us reluctant to give a schedule for watering, that's because we don't want to underquote it nor overquote it. But this is the only plant we can confident give a schedule for, because we'll just under-quote it, they're so drought tolerant, water around once every month or so and you'll be fine.
If you want to go the "correct" way, monitor the first 4 inches of the soil and only water when the first 4" is dry across a few spots of the soil. Depends on your indoor environment on how often you should give the plant water.
