The Snake Plant Zeylanica is a succulent plant characterized by its upright sword-like leaves with light green horizontal stripes. It is popular for its incredibly easy-going nature (it can tolerate low light and drought) and its air-purifying capabilities. The easiest way to kill this plant is to over-care for it.
Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
Small plant measures between 7–12" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
Medium plant measures between 16-17" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
Large plant measures between 22–36" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
Arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled in your planter choice; except for large planters which ship separately from plants
Care Guide

Plant Care
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light, but can tolerate low indirect light.
Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
You might be surprised to know the Snake Plant is a drought tolerant succulent.
