Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii' (Laurentii Plant) Details

Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’, commonly known as The Laurenti Plant, Variegated Snake Plant or Mother in Law Tongue, this is a very popular indoor plant. It features upright and fleshy leaves that are green-grey with yellow edges. The spear shaped leaves arise from the base of this clump growing plant. Small and fragrant green flowers may be produced in spring but these are rarely seen on plants grown indoors. It grows slowly to eventually reach 1 m tall and 50 cm wide but often grows to about 45 cm tall and 20 cm wide in a container. This succulent prefers to grow in full sun on a well-drained media. Sansevieria ‘Laurentii’ will tolerate extended dry periods, some shade, fluctuating temperatures, and coastal environments but it will not tolerate constant over-watering. The Variegated Snake Plant makes for a fabulous indoor plant and is well suited to providing colour to offices and foyers. It can be grown outdoors in warmer climates and suits Mediterranean themed gardens.
