More about Yellow Snake Plant
Summon a splash of tropical mystery into your space with the enchanting Yellow Snake Plant, Dracaena trifasciata, hailing all the way from tropical West Africa. Once known as Sansevieria trifasciata, but no less captivating with its new title, it paints a vibrant spatter of green and gold in any room.
The 'Laurentii' variant, in particular, is known to bedazzle its bewitchers with sword-shaped leaves patterned with radiant green centres and golden edges - thus earning the names Saint George's Sword and Mother-in-Law's Tongue. Such a vision can brighten up even the gloomiest corner, casting a spell of freshness wherever it's placed.
But don't let the beauty mislead you, as there's strength within this botanical wonder as well. This sturdy creature requires minimal care, aptly earning the title Viper's Bowstring Hemp, and can slither through most indoor conditions with ease. Given enough light, it grows rosily, and some say it could even cast a purification charm on the surrounding air.
Go on, invite a botanical marvel into your living quarters with the Yellow Snake Plant and watch it bring a hint of magic, transforming your living space into an enchanting greenhouse.
Pro Tip
Place in a location where it will receive direct sunlight only part of the day, 2 to 6 hours, as it will tolerate very low light. Well-drained soil and careful watering are a must; do not overwater, as the roots will rot. In spring to autumn allow the soil to dry between waterings. In winter only water every one to two months. It tolerates low humidity and cool temperatures around 10 ∘C. This plant is quite durable, easily grown, and difficult to kill.
In its native habitat, it blooms in the winter but as a houseplant, it rarely blooms. Snake plant is a clean air plant, as it helps improve air quality. NASA found in the 1970s that certain common houseplants could remove pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and ammonia from a room rather efficiently, and further study supports this.
