About This Botanical
The Snake Plant 'Moonshine' (Sansevieria trifasciata 'Moonshine' / Dracaena trifasciata) is a beloved cultivar celebrated for its broad, upright, sword-like leaves bathed in a pale, silvery-mint glow. Thin, dark green pinstripes border each leaf, creating a striking contemporary silhouette.
Famed for its extreme durability and air-purifying qualities, the Moonshine Snake Plant adapts effortlessly to almost any indoor lighting condition, from dim bedrooms to sunlit offices.
Botanical Care Essentials
| Light | Highly adaptable. Thrives in bright indirect light (which preserves its silvery moonlight hue) down to low ambient light. |
| Water | Extremely drought tolerant. Allow potting soil to dry out 100% between waterings. Water sparingly in winter. |
| Humidity | Tolerates low to average household humidity with ease (30–50%). |
| Temperature | 60°F to 85°F (15°C–29°C). Keep protected from frost and freezing drafts below 50°F. |
| Substrate | Fast-draining cactus and succulent mix with coarse sand, perlite, and pumice. |
⚠️ Pet Toxicity Notice:
The ASPCA lists Sansevieria as toxic to dogs and cats if ingested due to naturally occurring saponins. Place on elevated plant stands away from pets.
