Sansevierias (snake plants) are so cool and easy to grow and care for that even famously snake-averse Indiana Jones probably wouldn’t be against having these live succulent plants in his home. And they’re especially appropriate for regular travelers, like Indy, because they don’t require much. Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Superba’ is a drought-tolerant perennial with rigid, sharp-pointed, multicolored leaves year-round. This tough succulent is commonly known as snake plant or mother-in-law’s tongue. Sansevieria ‘Superba’ is a super way to enhance the feel-good, stress-relieving urban jungle vibes of your home décor. It charms with its aesthetically sharp vertical form and variegated leaves of yellow margins and grayish green to dark green in the middle. Sweetening the plant’s eye candy appeal, the foliage exhibits subtle twists and turns. This waviness is another twist in the plant’s ability to visually play off other artistic or decorative elements in your home. Sansevieria ‘Superba’ comes with a white drop-in planter that complements its modern, stylish good looks. As houseplants, sansevierias handle lower light environments better than most succulents and many other houseplants, yet their sweet spot is in a space receiving bright to moderately bright, indirect light. You can also grow sansevierias outside in sun to shade as long as temperatures are mostly on the mild to warm side. Grows to around 18” high and wide. Provide a well-draining soil mix designed for succulents. Only water when the soil is thoroughly dry. Less water in winter. Rots easily if overwatered. Hardy to USDA Zone 10/35 degrees F. Protect from frost.
