mother-in-law's tongue or variegated snake plant

Product Image
Mottled grey-green snake-like markings weave their way across long sword-like leaves. This award-winning houseplant has striking creamy-yellow margins. These robust plants can have a slightly weather-beaten appearance, sometimes with rough, brown edges and occasionally some minor leaf cracking can be seen. This does not affect the long-term health or vigour of the plant Sansevieria trifasciata var. laurentii and simply adds its charm!

Please note that the plant comes in a nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

Also, it is quite common for these plants to have small nicks or scars on their leaves. This does not affect their long-term health or vigour in any way.

How to care for Sansevieria trifasciata var. laurentii:

Check that any pot cover you are using is not allowing the nursery pot inside to sit in water.

Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering, then water thoroughly and let the excess drain away; never leave it standing in water as this causes root rot. In winter, reduce watering and keep temperatures above 10°C (50°F). Repot every few years when the roots begin to outgrow the container, choosing a
