Sansevieria Laurentii

Sansevieria Laurentii, often called the variegated snake plant, is a standout variety of the popular Sansevieria family. While all snake plants are known for their upright, sword-like leaves and hardy nature, Laurentii sets itself apart with its bold, golden-yellow leaf margins. These vibrant edges create a striking contrast against the deep green, horizontal-striped leaf centres, giving it a refined and eye-catching appearance. This variety brings a touch of sophistication and brightness to any indoor space, making it a favourite among design enthusiasts and plant lovers alike.

Caring for Sansevieria

 Light Needs

Snake plants are versatile and can tolerate a wide range of light, from low to bright indirect sunlight. For the brightest leaf colouring and growth, place it in a spot with medium to bright light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

  Watering

Sansevieria prefers to dry out between waterings. Water every 2-4 weeks, depending on the season and humidity levels in your home. Overwatering is its worst enemy—always check the soil and ensure it’s dry before adding water. In Winnipeg’s dry winters, water sparingly to prevent root rot.

 Feeding

Feed your snake plant with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. No fertiliser is needed in the colder months when growth slows down.
