Houseplants feelgrounded | Sansevieria Zeylanica

SUN

The Snake Plant is adaptable to a variety of light levels, including low lighting. They will grow fastest under bright, indirect light, and can even tolerate some direct light when they’re mature.  

WATER

This succulent is drought tolerant and will require that the soil fully dries in between waterings. Snake plants can benefit from careful bottom watering and thorough soak on occasion. Be sure to reduce watering during the fall and winter. 

AIR 

Their native environment is warm and dry, so average indoor air tends to work well for the Snake Plant. Keep them in temperatures between 60º-85º and away from sources of humidity. 

PET FRIENDLY

Keep out of reach from curious pets. These are toxic when ingested. 

AESTHETIC

Native to West Africa, Sansevieria Zeylanica grows sword-like leaves in clusters, reaching heights up to 4 feet.  An efficient root system stores water so it can survive infrequent watering. Their upright silhouettes make them a great option for small spaces, tabletops, and floor accents alike.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Active exposure to and care for plants has many proven wellbeing benefits, such as: 

• Lower stress levels

• Improved mood

• Superior mental clarity and focus

Snake plants are excellent air purifiers, absorbing common air toxins and mold spores. They are one of few plants that continue to produce oxygen throughout the night and are a great addition to the bedroom for a better night’s sleep. 

SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATIONS

Snake plants represent luck, strength, and resilience. Their adaptability is a reflection of their natural will to survive, despite tough conditions. More than a symbol of luck, sharing space with a Snake Plant serves as a reminder of our own perseverance.
