These plants are not favored by everyone because of their strong, bold look & tough, pointed leaves. They’re definitely not the soft, “touchy feely” kind of plants. I, on the other hand, love them & have quite a few of them. I’ve had many varieties, both growing in pots & in the ground in my Santa Barbara garden. Yes, indoors & out - I like sansevierias that much.
Their modern, edgy feel appeals to me along with how easy they are to take care of. I now live in Tucson, Arizona where I have them growing in my home along with some in pots outside in the bright shade. The strong desert sun would fry them but they handle the dry air like champs.
These evergreen perennials are very long lived, unlike some houseplants. If you’re looking for your own snake plant, there are many different species and varieties on the market with more being introduced each year.
You can find them tall or short, with round, flat or concave leaves, & variegated with dark green, silver, light green, yellow, chartreuse or white. My personal favorites are: the old standbys Sansevieria trifasciata and “laurentii”, cylindrica (this is the 1 they braid), “moonshine“, “futura superba” & “gold hahnii”.
Some reasons to love these plants:
Sansevierias are one of the best plants when it comes to air purification. They filter out formaldehyde and nitrogen oxide. They do this at night time making them great plants for the bedroom. You can go to bed & this plant will clean the oxygen around you. Maybe this is the reason why it’s considered they’re considered to be good luck plants.
They’re virtually indestructible unless you have a heavy hand with the watering can or place them in a hot, sunny window. Snake Plants seem to thrive on the dry air in our homes, as well as neglect. The more you ignore them, the better they do. This is why they are one of the easiest care houseplants.
And, as I said earlier, I also love Snake Plants because of their bold, architectural, sassy look.

Architectural, bold and sassy....precisely why I love them! Great video, thank you Nell.
I also love the snake plants. They remind me of my Mom. I am 71 and I have finally learned how to keep them alive and
Candy I also am 71 and this plant reminds me of my Mother. I too am in to plants. This is a Great house plant.☺
She is petting her plants. I know she loves her babies.
I am so excited to see Snake Plants coming into trend! My Grandmother in Phoenix had her Mother-In-Laws Tongue growing wild in her backyard and would propagate and give out as gifts when I was a very young child.
I need so many of these
Mine sent up a flower stalk when I stressed it out by under watering. The glorious heavy perfume was the only way I found the stalk. I felt like a horrible plant mom, but it was a thrilling time to see the flowers up close and personal.
How is that possible? They sent flower stalks when underwater?
It looks so peaceful where you live! I wish I lived in a place like that..instead of boxed in with neighbours.
Also this is a peaceful video to just listen to even. Feels nice.
Peace from Holland!
Always good to see you Nell...your Snakeplant wisdom is ever a joy
I grow these in vases. Use large pebbles to support it and fill the rest with water. Been doing it for years with no root rot problems. Looks great too
Please post a pic of those and how to do it..would love to be creative with these plants!
Thank you for sharing this information on snake plants. I learn alot.☺👍👍👍👍👍
How do you thumbs down a plant video? 😔 Great information about Sansevierias!
Hi Melissa - I'm sure there are people out there how would thumbs down a puppy video! And, thank you. Nell
She's very dramatic, fidgety and all over the place with her speaking points. Some of us that just want quick info find it quite annoying... That's just my 2¢
Karen davila
I've just started an obsession over house plants and bought my first snake plant a few days ago. I love it! I love your videos, you're informative and fun to watch. Keep them coming!
Did you mention their air cleaning ability which make them especially great indoor plants.
@pulkit verma I don't think you understand CallMe Ishmael's point. This plant is great at night and will give off more oxygen rather than take it away. Making it great for a bedroom to help cleaner sleeps.
@pulkit verma oh, my bedroom is not
@pulkit verma Ah :( i am sorry, I live in the UK. It's moderate temperatures, with a lot of rain. AC is a rare thing in houses over here
@pulkit verma snake plants do great in air conditioned environments. I see them in offices, homes, pretty much everywhere. They can do partial light or almost no light. Very hardy as long as they're not over watered.
My sansevieria is drooping... I normally put my plant out on my porch, in the shade all day, and have been do this every year. However this year, I have noticed several leaves, for lack of a better word, are drooping down instead of standing up right. I had to repot it last year because it was getting too crowded. I think it is the pot, it has no drain holes in the bottom. The plant is from my Granny's original which probably makes it over 60 year old. I don't want to lose it. Thanks. P.S. Mine is like the one on your right in the video.
Done pulpak JoyUs Garden. I can see Snake plant ever since .
You are delightful Nell
Hahahaa.. even if you don't have a green thumb, it will definitely turn your thumbs green.." LoL, you've just made my day! It's 100% my life story that you've been talking about. Thanks for the video :)
Thank you for the video I love mother in law snake plants ,but did not know how to take care of them.I was watering too much and not letting them drain I brought those cute little clay trays that goes the plant pot underneath.Thank you for the information nice relaxing porch.
Mine made a flower one a year for 3 years and hasent flowers sense and they they have a very good smell 🤗🌼🌸🌾
So helpful! I was gifted a snake plant for my birthday and I just love it, and love that it isn't so needy. Lol!
Suzanne here, i love sans, i have over 50 in my house because i have always loved them, i love the fernwood macado the best, i have several of those,not cheap by the way haha, but still my most favorite house plants, and yes they can be killed, if they are over watered, they still need water, just not much, i water maybe once a month in the south, the small ones need more water, the big ones not so much. i also love the moonshine, one of my favs
I just bought my first one. I didn't like them for along time. until I discovered the variaged ones. I love any plant that is varagted. I seen a weird stick braided kind at first I thought it was lucky bamboo. very strange I may go back and get it just for its weirdness. It would look real cool if It got huge though. thanks Nell for your Time and Knowledge
Of course Dallas, I always enjoy sharing. I've always love these plants & love them even more so now that I live in the desert. The braided ones are fun & there are new varieties being introduced all the time. And, easy maintenance! Nell
love sanseveerias very very much and the last years they flowering on an of .But i have them all out in the garden ( TROPICAL CLIMATE )
when i was a teenager i collect them ( huge plants between my legs and steering brmmmm must have them )
have a nice day and i love your craziness xxx Stef
exactly what I needed.
so informative.
thank you!
Beautiful!!!
and the plants look good too.
This was very helpful thanks 😊
so nice to see you again I have a Snake plant I love them but I don't have a green thumb
My snake plant keeps trying to fall over. There are 6 tall healthy leaves on one rhizome. They seem to be too heavy for the stalk. What should I do?
Thank you Nell❤️ very informative video! It's always a pleasure to watch you!🌱🌱🌱
I have one of those plant and I love it so easy to care I do have a green thumb I have others two
I just bought my first one about 1 month ago - but I don’t have a lot of light and it’s cold here. I hope it will still grow and not die on me 😂 I’m trying HARD to get a green apartment.
Great video and great info Nell. Thnx again lovely. Looking forward to the next vids. Sending love and hugs. 🤗😍😙🌵🐞🐝💚💙💜
Thanks for stopping by Suzie! Pleasure to "see" you as always. Hugs, Nell
JoyUsGarden 😆😊😙🤗😇💙💚💜
Thank you for all this information I’m a new plant mommy and am struggling lol I’ve learned a lot in this video!
I accidentally put my humidifier tubed to my snake plate for an entire week lots of water
I did everything wrong to the plant like watering the leaves but atleast the dirt marks are gone what should i do ?
I dont know if its dead
Snake plant / Mother in law's tongue is a 100% PERFECT Air Purifying plant !
New varieties, such as Sansevieria Yellowstone !
Would it be better to water from the top of the pot or from the bottom of the pot
What about the brown spots and what causing it.
Wich snake plant its the one that purify the air inside the house? There's different types of snake plant out there. Yellow with green, white with green, black with white and green. All white ones.
All types of snake plants purify the air, the only difference is the leaf shape, mature size, and color patterns. So go crazy and collect all of the snake plant types, you can't go wrong with them! I am a neglectful houseplant mother (I forget to water them, but I do great with my veggie garden, hmmmm?) So if I can keep this plant alive, anyone with a window can!!!
Loved this video I started a collection!
Do you think they can survive an airconditioned room? Thanks for the helpful video!
great video ! I really enjoy all your videos you post. full of awesome information. I recently bought a Sansevieria trifasciata from my local nursery and I love it. i got into house plants and plants in general bout 7 months ago. it has helped my PTSD/depression and anxiety majorly. Do you usually do the one to two knuckles rule of when you need to water them again ? thank you so much !
Hi Jeremy - Plants are therapy & I believe they make us all feel good. I went through a phase where I didn't want plants in the house but now I can't have enough. I water my Snake Plants thoroughly & let them go completely dry before watering them again. They store water in their fibrous roots & rhizomes. I've never done the knuckle rule. I'm more of an instinct waterer. Thanks for watching! Nell
I love this movie
I just brought two today thanks for the info
Thanx for this wonderful information.
Can someone tell me the names of the snake plants on the table? I happened to buy these two yesterday from the nursery. Thanks.
Can I use potting soil and perlite? I will be planting mine in a terra cotta. Please let me know. Thank you.
Hello Nell,
I have several snake plant varieties. The one I am a little concerned about is my moonshine. I ordered it online and it was delivered in perfect condition. I transplanted it in march to a terra cotta clay pot using cactus/succulent mix potting soil. I water my snake plants once a month. When I received my moonshine I got two plants/bundles. One has grown new shoots that are a foot tall. The other leaf bundle has no new growth but looks healthy. Any suggestions on why my other plant/bundle is not growing? I have both of them in the same 6in pot.
Nice video :). I would like to know how long it took for your two big Sansevierias to become that size and to have that number of leaves?
Hi Johnny - It's taken about 5 years. They're growing faster since I moved to the desert last year - they love the heat. I'm about to repot them all so they start to grow even faster. Nell
My mom gave me some of hers that she's had forever and it was just outgrowing it's home. My boyfriend and I split up what we got into two potters. There's so many little leaves coming up now but in one of the pots, all the growth seems to be on one side. Should I remove it from the dirt, move it so it's centered again, and replant?
K Roberts Yes you should
K Roberts howoften can you Depot a sanseveria if needd? I just reported mine and I was thinking about the same thing because mine is only growing in a few spots
Repot*
Hi Queen! I never have an issue hearing you. Yes, you speak audibly and beautifully but I never see issues of technicalities with audio. Please, if you don't mind can you share with me what your audio set is. The brand and any other helpful info. If you don't mind.
Thank you so much I watch you quite a bit because you one of the official Pros.
Hey neal nice video , I have one for about a year now, it's been doing fine until now, I kinda over water it n I loss 2 leaf s so I took it out of the pot n the root ball came off can it still be saved ?
They are such great plants. :)
I transplanted them into a 2litter bottle with walmart fancy rock.and water and hydrogen peroxide. They do just fine
Very helpful!!!! Thanks!
I just ordered some of these and the soil that they’re in is very spongy and is holding water. Should I remove the plant and switch the soil or leave it in the pot it came in and hope it’s ok
John Doe thanks!
Hey I enjoyed your video s very informative thank you so much. I have a Sansevieria I'm trying to propagate it since last year spring. And no shoots as yet but its still alive. How long does it take for a new shoot to develop. Thanks
I put mine outside in the spring to early and it killed it because of two frosts
what do you shine the snake plant with?
Great video
Thank you! Nell
Water just the soil or mist whole plant ? ?
Thank you for the video!
My Sansevierias Trifiaciata has a couple of brown tips...its sitting at my front door, inside the door.
Can you tell my why the brown tips are there? Thanks Joy.
I love your videos!
"I hope you won't kill it with too much kindness"... I almost killed mine by over-watering. Whoops.
I love that plant but it doesn't love me. I already killed two. On my third plant now. If I don't succeed this time then it's about to give up :(
Myra San Jose neglect them and they fair better.
Have you potted these together in a large pot?
its been about 2 weeks since ive repotted mine and the soil is still wet lol
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing I've seen the white edge now can't find now get to it So do I ☮️
Hi Nell. I planted a snake plant in a pot along with a croton and pothos, not realizing the different watering needs. Should I take out the snake plant and pot it separately?
Dawn Pleasant yes those plants all need totally different care light and watering
Were can i bay compost
I have several Sansevieria and I love them. But, have a couple that have droopy leaves. Any ideas as to why? :(
Hi - Droopy leaves are usually due to watering - too much or too little. My "Laurentii" has had 2 leaves just completely fall over. It's time to repot. Nell
I just bought a snake plant today after seeing this video a few days ago. I also bought a pot that was about two sizes bigger then the pot it came in, thinking it would grow into it, at the same time I bought a smaller pot meant for an Aloe Vera. Would you recommend I put the snake plant in the smaller pot (it's the same size as the pot it came in) or should I put it in the bigger pot? By the way my dad got a big smile on his face when he saw me bring home a snake plant because his mom grew them for many years, what a happy coincidence.
I have several varieties, but I do kill some of them. They get this rust around the crown. What do you think this is
spazbat 00 they tend 2 grow really well.. within a year.. ur plant will double or triple in size.. so keep in the bigger pot.. unless u don't mind reporting a year or so from now
Hi, Nell. Enjoying your videos! I've always thought tall sansevierias with straight upward fronds look especially nice-and I've bought ones look that way, but eventually all the fronds seems to lean and/or flop over, despite good indirect light, occasional watering, etc. Do you have any tips to keep them upright?
D. Ashworth I was given 1 last year in june.. I placed it in a mid-low light area.. I water it about 2-3x a month.. I have it in a black plastic pot.. and I just pulled it out 2 repot in fresh soil just the other day.. that is when I realized how much it has grown and grown babies that I nvr realized.. it really is low maintenance.. I just water it thoroughly and drain it.. then leave it an ignore it in the corner and its thriving.. maybe change the location of ur plant.. play around w diff locations where it gets some llight.. like moderate lighting...
D. Ashworth and the leaves are tall and hardy
Thanks! I'll keep experimenting. :-)
Mine is going limp in my bathroom. Any tips?
Sherry Mercado move it to a different room and see what happens
Question do you let others touch your plants or it's just me 😁😁
What flower is that in the back right ? Rose ? So beautiful ✨ i chopped and pulled off my sanseverias for hours because they are invasive, invading ...I even used machete 😂😂😂😭 and then i put 3 camellia japonicas in bwahaha 😂
Hi Indra - That's a Plumbago capensis or Cape Plumbago. I love Snake Plants. As for Camellias, I saw my share of them when I lived in San Francisco. Fortunately, none here in the desert! Nell
Oh cool! You live in Arizona too?
"Die hard plant"
Me: Brown and soggy plant after having it for 2 weeks 😓
You over watered them...dude
@@sagarsheth3791 Yeah I figured
mine grows soooo slooow 😩
Karla - I wouldn't call them fast growing at all, & they grow slow in lower light conditions. Mine grow moderately because I'm in a warm & sunny climate. Nell
Good to know 😊 I will be patient and expose them more to indirect light. Thanks ☺
Karla Navarro I had the same problem then I find out it’s dwarf one ... lol 🤣
I killed my snake plant :((((
But I killed one
