This little beauty is known by a variety of names; Sansevieria is his official, botanical name, the one his mum would use when he’s in trouble! He’s also known as a Snake Plant and the rather colourful Mother-in-Law’s Tongue. Here at TLB, we fondly refer to him as Snakey and he’s one of our favourites. Snakey is a hard-leaved, tropical beauty, his striking upright leaves will bring an abundance of style to your home and he’ll quietly purify the air too!

Description

Snake Plants are native to Africa and Madagascar so they will thrive in warm conditions, like a nice warm house and they love bright light. Having said that, they’re a very low maintenance plant so will be quite happy in a partially shaded area and will tolerate some neglect – perfect for the time-poor and newbie plant parents among you!

The gorgeous, pointy leaves of your Snake Plant will stand tall to form a gorgeous bundle, giving you a gorgeous pop of deep green colour and when they flower, they produce a single spike of small white flowers – just beautiful.

Would you like some luck in your lives? According to the ancient art of Feng Shui, the Snake Plant brings good luck and cuts through negative energy, just one of many reasons why this green beauty is a fab addition to your indoor jungle. As well as bringing a boost of good luck and positive energy, the fabulous Snake Plant also brings a whole host of health benefits. He’s a brilliant air purifying plant, working particularly hard during the night, absorbing CO2 and other toxins so he’s a great plant to include in your bedroom décor. To find out even more about our much-loved Snakey, check out our blog all about owning and caring for a Sansevieria.

Please note: the Snake Plant you receive may differ in colour and pattern from our photos. Snake Plants are known as rough and ready beauties; splits, markings, tip discolouration and imperfections on the leaves are all very normal and the colour and patterns will vary from plant to plant. Whatever patterns and colours you receive, they’re sure to be unique and oh-so-beautiful.

Plant Care

Don’t be over generous with your watering. Give your Sansevieria 300 ml of water every few weeks. You can let the soil become dry to the touch between watering. Feed with a generic houseplant feed every couple of months. Is happiest in a bright area of full sun but will tolerate partial light conditions indoors.

Read our plant care guide, to help keep your Sansevieria looking fresh.

    Amazing plant. I was waking up every morning feeling drugged (I have 1 yr old). Put one of these in my bedroom last night and felt wide awake this morning despite being up from 2:05 until 3:20 with the little one!

    I ordered four houseplants to bring some life to my home office during lockdown – I am absolutely delighted with each one, they were so carefully packed and arrived with moist soil. They make a wonderful display – thank you so much!

    I ordered this as a gift for a friend and I was so happy with the plant and the beautiful pot it came with. They even hand wrote my message on a postcard for my friend. Beautiful plant and a great gift – will definitely be buying again!

    Very striking plant. The one in the first picture is a Zeylanica and in the other picture the snake plant with the yellow edges is a Laurentii. These are the plants you could receive. They are both great plants. I received the Laurentii and it was in a very healthy condition with no damage or browning to the tips. The plant was very well packaged. Would definitely recommend, great for beginners.

    I now have several plants from Little Botanical and even I can’t seem to kill them – I have never been able to keep plants but these are still going strong!

    I’m not a green fingered person at all but decided recently to branch out from succulents to green house plants. TLB give such straight forward care instructions, and have many easy to look after plants which is just what I needed. I am loving the addition of Snakey to our bedroom – a beautiful plant which brings me joy and I’m managing to keep alive with a bit of watering every couple of weeks.

    Love my little snakey – he sits beautifully on my home-office desk. We’ve renamed him Sharkey as my partner doesn’t like snakes! He was well packaged when delivered and arrived in perfect condition, with clear instructions of how to look after him, and is still alive a month later -which is a big win as I am rubbish with plants normally. I have since recommend Little Botanicla to friends and have used it to be a gift for a friend too. I couldn’t be happier with my little Sharkey!

    A bit disappointed this time, with my plant it had a lot of earth at the bottom of the box and when removing the plant I saw it was leaning to one side. I’m putting it on the window ledge to try and straighten it. All plants my son and I have received before where perfect.

    I am delighted with my Sansevieria (Snakey). It arrived this morning. It’s a very healthy gorgeous looking plant and was well packaged with a lovely pot. My other succulents love their new friend and I cannot wait for many many more.

    I ordered these plants because of their air purifying qualities. I’ve had these for a few months now and have to say they’re really easy to care for.

    Gorgeous plant and easy to care for, only given 4* as it arrived with quite a bit of scarring to the leaves.

    I wasn’t sure that I’d love old Snakey but how wrong I was! It has incredibly beautiful mackerel markings that range from green to yellow and sits in the corner exuding quiet wisdom. I’m in awe.

Why I’m Great

I am an absolute superhero in the air purifying stakes – I don’t mean to boast, but if it was a competition, I’d have the gold medal! Don’t just take my word for it, NASA has carried out studies looking at the best plants for removing toxins from the air and I am consistently the top performer.
