Description

If there was an award for the most useful houseplant, then the diehard snake plant, Sansevieria, would certainly be one of the favourites. Also known as the Mother-in-laws tongue', the Snake Plant has a secret side that makes it a must-have indoor plant.

Gardeners have known for years that Sansevieria is a great plant for the bedroom, helping you to get good, restful sleep at night, and now we know why.

Research by NASA has shown that one of their most useful features is their ability to keep the air inside your home clean, removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene, and giving out valuable oxygen at night.

Sword-like mottled green leaves are edged in golden yellow on the Snakeskin Plant, living up to its name and is a plant that's really easy to care for and maintain. Ideal for those of us who are short of time or tend to forget about looking after houseplants. Sansevieria are tolerant of neglect, going for weeks being ignored or forgotten, yet their strappy leaves still manage to look fresh and vibrant.

An ideal houseplant, the snake plant can survive in poor light, with little water, able to go extended periods without a drop, and is resilient to pest assault!

Supplied as an established plant in a 17cm nursery pot and growing to 1.2m tall.

Top Tips
  • Keep pot bound in a clay pot and you'll be rewarded with highly fragrant, jasmine-scented flowers in the summer.
Care Information
  • Best grown in a clay pot as the strong rhizomes will push plastic pots out of shape.
  • Very tolerant of a wide range of conditions, Sansevieria will excel when grown near a bright east or south facing windowsill, out of direct sunlight.
  • Allow the soil to dry between watering and take care not to over water in winter when the plants are relatively dormant.
  • Repot only when the plant has filled its pot to capacity - you'll know it's time when the plant begins to force its way out of the existing container!
  • Feed with a general-purpose plant food during the summer.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
