Snake Plant Zeylanica
Sansevieria zeylanica
Snake Plant Zeylanica - Stylish, Resilient & Air-Purifying Marvel
Looking for a sleek, low-maintenance plant that elevates your interiors? The Snake Plant Zeylanica-also known as Mother-in-Law's Tongue-boasts upright, sword-like leaves with unique green banding that fits effortlessly into modern homes, offices, and studios. With its sculptural form and striking vertical growth, it adds a bold, contemporary touch wherever it's placed.
Naturally Cleans the Air You Breathe
Not just a pretty plant, Zeylanica is celebrated for its powerful air-purifying properties. In fact, NASA's Clean Air Study recognized Sansevieria varieties as some of the best natural air filters. These plants absorb a wide range of airborne toxins like benzene, formaldehyde, xylene, and trichloroethylene-releasing clean oxygen back into the environment.
Its waxy, textured leaves also trap airborne dust, reducing the amount you inhale-making it a wonderful choice for allergy sufferers or anyone looking to improve indoor air quality.
Thrives on Neglect - Ideal for Busy Lifestyles
If you forget to water or your space lacks natural sunlight, Zeylanica won't complain. It:
-
Tolerates low light-perfect for dim offices or rooms without windows
-
Requires infrequent watering-only when the soil dries out
-
Prefers root-bound living-no repotting needed for years This makes it ideal for plant beginners, frequent travelers, or anyone seeking low-effort greenery.
Who Is It Perfect For?
-
Apartment dwellers or office workers seeking fresh air
-
Minimalist decorators in need of a statement plant
-
Pet-free homes (note: Sansevieria is toxic to pets if ingested)
-
Anyone seeking a long-lasting, hassle-free plant
Add the Snake Plant Zeylanica to your space and breathe easier-literally. With its stunning looks and wellness benefits, it's more than just décor.
Snake Plant Zeylanica Care Guide
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.
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.
Snake Plant Zeylanica General Information
Origin
Tropical West African Region.
Size
I could grow to be as tall as a meter, but I am quite slow growing.
Toxicity
I can cause stomach upset if eaten by pets or humans, so I'm best kept out of reach.
