Snake Plant Zeylanica
Sansevieria zeylanica
The Snake Plant Zeylanica is a great choice for homes and offices alike. It requires very little care and it can survive in a variety of environments.
I am similar in height to my cousin the Laurentii, but my leaves are fully green, with horizontal rippled stripes that alternate in shades of silver and greyish-green.
We tend to associate foliage plants with air purification, but Mother-in-Law's Tongues have been linked to absorbing a wide variety of toxins, and are well worth investing in if you're looking for a natural air purifier.
We have 2 sizes:
Medium
Growing pot size: 14cm
Overall plant height including growing pot: 45-55 cm
Large
Growing pot size: 17cm
Overall plant height including growing pot: 55-60 cm
Toxicity: I can cause stomach upset if eaten by pets or humans, so I'm best kept out of reach.

- Temperatures of 15 to 23ºC are preferred. Avoid going under 10ºC
- During the growing season, feed it with a weak dose of a general-purpose fertiliser once a month.
- Remove dust from the leaves with a clean damp cloth.

Care Instructions
Light
I am best in moderate to bright, indirect light but I can adapt to low light conditions too, so I'm a good choice if you have a difficult environment.
Water
During spring and summer months, keep my soil moist, but not wet or I'll get root rot! This should be about once every 10-14 days. Over winter, allow it to dry out completely before watering moderately (around once a month or so).
Temperature
I'm happy anywhere from 15-23°C and can be in temperatures as low as 10°C for short periods.
Feeding
Apply a weak dose of cactus or general-purpose feed once a month at most during the growing season. Sansevieria are low maintenance plants and do not require a lot of supplementary feeding.
Toxicity
I can cause stomach upset if eaten by pets or humans, so I'm best kept out of reach.
Grooming
Remove dust by wiping my leaves with a soft, damp cloth.
Care
Don't repot me in anything too big, when I outgrow my current. I thrive — and may even go into bloom — when my roots are crowded.
