ABOUT OUR SANSEVIERIA ZEYLANICA

Hello, I’m Sammy the Sansevieria zeylanica. I’m more commonly known as the black coral snake plant, thanks to my tall, sword-shaped leaves. Cast an eye over me and you’ll notice I look a little ssssstrangel: my broad leaves are covered with black stripe patterns which, if you see them out of the corner of your eye, might make you worry that a slithering visitor might have snuck into your space. I joke, I joke: I won’t scare you, I promise!

Like our namesake creatures, there are plenty of us in the wild, where you’ll find us dotted around South East Asia and Africa. While I might be native to tropical climes, I’m actually a bit of a cool customer and can grow in colder, less humid and even darker conditions.

As far as indoor plants go, I’m actually very adaptable to my surroundings and I’m one of those houseplants that will look good in a draughty hallway, sunny conservatory or dark bathroom. If you’re a beginner, let’s be friends: I’m a super easy-care plant who’s perfect for adding greenery to your home.  

Baby height (including nursery pot) 30cm; pot diameter 9cm. (Fits a 10-12cm pot)

Small height (including nursery pot) 30cm; pot diameter 12cm. (Fits a 13-15cm pot)

Medium height (including nursery pot) 45cm; pot diameter 14cm. (Fits a 15-17cm pot)

Big height (including nursery pot) 60cm; pot diameter 17cm. (Fits a 18-21cm pot)

XL height (including nursery pot) 80cm; pot diameter 21cm. (Fits a 22-24cm pot)

DID YOU KNOW?

Snake plants like our sansevieria zeylanica are one of the few plants that release oxygen at night providing us with a better night's sleep.

Sammy has been described as “the Bear Grylls of the plant world”, which means she’s practically indestructible, making her the perfect first-timer’s houseplant.


QUICK SANSEVIERIA PLANT CARE

Sammy is so easy to care for as long as you let her soil completely dry out before you water again.

LIGHTING

I can tolerate low, medium and bright light. Avoid direct sunlight as this can burn my leaves.

WATERING

I’m very drought tolerant and can go many weeks without water. Let my soil completely dry out before you water me again.

HUMIDITY

I can cope with low humidity but prefer a more humid environment.

FERTILISER

Use a diluted fertiliser once every summer to encourage new growth.

THINGS WE ALWAYS GET ASKED

How do you take care of a Sansevieria zeylanica?

Sammy is very easy to care for providing she’s kept out of direct sunlight and her watering schedule is kept to a minimum. Snake plants will hold water in their leaves so even if their soil is completely dry, they will still survive. Overwatering is probably the biggest threat to Sammy’s safety!

Does the Sansevieria zeylanica need sunlight to grow?

Yes, all plants need some natural light to survive but this snake plant can tolerate lower lighting conditions away from any windows or in a dark hallway. They do prefer a brighter spot, however, and will grow faster in a well lit room.

Do all snake plants clean the air?

There are over 70 species of snake plant and they’re all known to absorb common household toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene through their leaves - which means the air in your home will end up cleaner once she’s done her bit!

PLANT STYLING TIPS

Style Sammy’s dark leaves on a bedside table or dresser for stunning interior decor. Use a white pot or place her in front of a white wall so her rich coloured leaves stand out. Use large Sammy as a focal point and place small plants with the same dark green foliage like Andy and Zoe for added drama to your room.

Pair this wild plant with the wanderlust candle and healing crystal for the complete bedside table setup.

Great Toy in Spite of Everything.
Color: Purple
My dog is a border collie. She loves chewing, fetching, tug of war and catch. The first day we had this toy she chewed off two of the feet. I didn't give it much of a life span. Two weeks later she chewed off a third foot. Miraculously no stuffing was exposed. It has now been a month and the toy is still going strong, albeit with one foot! She loves it. It is now June 1st. It has been almost three months and I am retiring the toy. It no longer has any feet and the tail has been ripped open and stuffing is coming out. All in all I think I got my money's worth from this toy. I ordered another one. She still loves it!

Awesome, but not the best squeakers.
Color: Purple
I bought the orange gecko for my 5-month-old Corgi puppy. He absolutely loves it. He came up with a "game" (sort of) where if I pick it up and start squeaking one of the ends/squeakers really quickly over and over, he'll grab the other end/squeaker and start doing the same thing with me. It was really cute until one of the squeakers stopped working about a week after I bought it... but I guess the toy wasn't too expensive, and he doesn't really seem to mind that one of the squeakers doesn't work anymore. I might buy another next time I do an Amazon order (so I can get the free shipping) and see if it lasts a little longer.

Great Toy For a Great Price
Color: Purple
My Aussie loves toys and plays with them as though she is a small child. She has a basket and will go to the basket and dig through it until she finds what she is looking for. Lately she has been using the bungee gecko as her toy of choice. She gets bored easily and will rip the stuffing out of most toys, the fact that this one has lasted 6 weeks or so is impressive with no rips, holes or missing limbs. Her favorite way to play is to come over to me and nudge me to play tug of war and we have broke many toys this way but so far we can play tug a war several minutes at a time and the gecko is still in one piece. For the price which is considerable less than some of her other toys I have already ordered a couple of replacements for the future. This is a great well built dog toy that has has a lot of give and can be stretched without ripping.

No longer as durable
Color: Purple
I have one of these that has made it through 2 dogs but now the bungee is stretched out. It's been such a well loved toy I recently got another one. They've changed the plush fabric. The old one was indestructible. This new one is much thinner and easily torn. I wish they would go back to the old plush fabric.
