Garden Goods Direct | Laurentii Snake Plant

The Laurentii Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata laurentii)is a very low-maintenance plant that is so hardy that people often joke about them being almost impossible to kill. The indestructible houseplant sports stiff, vertical, glossy, striped foliage in different shades of green. The foliage of this snake plant stands out from its Sansevieria cultivar through bold yellow stripes that line the edge of each leaf. Ideal care for the Laurentii plant includes a bright indirect light and infrequent watering. However, this low maintenance plant grows in less-than-ideal conditions without a sweat. The hardy Sansevieria will accept a wide range of light conditions including full sun or no sun conditions. As an added bonus, these succulent-like plants don’t mind extended periods of drought. We recommend planting your snake in a pot with drainage holes and allowing the soil to dry in between waterings for optimal growth. Additionally, be sure to pot your houseplant in a well draining potting mix. In the growing seasons of spring and summer, it is encouraged that you apply a well balanced fertilizer to your plant. Also nicknamed the mother in law’s tongue, Snake Plant Laurentiis are praised for their air purifying abilities. In addition to their low maintenance care regimen and air purifying abilities, Laurentiis are also a flowering plant. What’s not to love? These indoor plants are perfect for those with a busy lifestyle or who frequently travel because they do not need constant attention.
