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.

Yes

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.

Keeps my pets very comfortable.
Color: Purple Fish, Size: Medium (27'' X 20'' X 0.3''), Number of Items: 4
I purchased the 4-pack for my four pets, and they absolutely loved them! The cooling mats are soft, lightweight, and really do stay cool, which has been perfect for the warmer weather. I placed them on their beds, car seats, and favorite lounging spots, and every one of my pets took to them right away. I also love that they’re portable, washable, and made with a nice quality material that feels durable while still being comfortable. The purple fish design is adorable too! Definitely a great purchase for pet owners looking to help keep their furry babies cool and comfortable during the summer. Highly recommend!

Make your cat happy
Color: Pink Cat, Size: Medium (27'' X 20'' X 0.3''), Number of Items: 1
My cat loves this. She was always moving from spot to spot looking for a cooler place to lie. When I put this pad down, she got on it and stays there for long periods of time. The pad is actually cooler than I thought it might be. Good product.

Cool to the touch.
Color: Green Leaf, Size: Small (20'' X 16'' X 0.3''), Number of Items: 4
If definitely feels cool to the touch although still have doubts about ability to cool my dogs. I have not trained my dogs to lay on it so I’m not sure if they know how to use the cooling pads but I do see my one dog lay on it from time to time so perhaps it is effective, not sure. Cooling pad slips and it folds ups because there is no grip on the bottom side. It feels smooth and soft to the touch because of the fabric on the outside. I plan on brining it in my dog stroller in the summer and should be better than having no cooling pad. Although not as cool as an ice pack, this cooling pad doesn’t require refrigeration and always stays cool to the touch and no condensation. Not sure if it’s worth the money for the price because not sure if it works. A four pack for $32 seems reasonable but not sure if it’s worth it.

A summer cooling mat full of endless possibilities! Kitty 🐈‍⬛ imagination highly required! It’s apparently somewhat better than a large empty Amazon box! Beau highly recommends it! ****Review annotated by Beau’s mom Beau’s mom actual review: I purchased the medium sized cooling mat for my chunkster grey tux Beau who at first snoop, didn’t like it. After carefully flopping him on top of it and made stupid sounds, he inevitably decided to actually try it his way thus (while not a box) liked it. I was surprised that after two weeks the mat was still cool and scratch-free from his murder mittens. While he does flop on the mat from time to time, he enjoys dragging it, flipping it in a viscous cycle of who-knows what the heck is going on his mind! Either way, if I could give it 9/10 stars I would as the instructions fails to inform user of a highly kitty imagination is required. No worries tho! Beau figured this out two days into flopping on top of it.

Does not stay cool
I bought this for my bunny and the material itself does feel cool at first. My bunny wast laying on it for about 30- 40 minutes and it feels warm to the touch. So while it does feel cool initially, if your pet is warm the pad will get warm as well. I'd recommend leaving the fan on for your pet in addition to the pad or placing a frozen water bottle on the pad so it keeps the pad cool a little longer.
