About This Botanical

Gold-striped, upright leaves make this a brighter take on the classic snake plant. It is one of the easiest plants to keep, tolerating low light and an occasional forgotten watering, and it stands tall in a corner or beside a sofa.

Quick care

  • Light: bright to low light. Brighter light keeps the gold colouring stronger.
  • Water: only when the soil is fully dry, roughly every two to three weeks.

Frequently asked questions

How do I care for a snake plant?

Bright to low light, a well-draining pot, and watering only when the soil is completely dry.

How often should I water it?

Every two to three weeks is typical, less often in winter. When in doubt, wait.

Can it live in low light?

Yes, it tolerates low light, though growth slows and the colouring is stronger in brighter light.
