{"product_id":"ps-1ltr-hp-san-sup-sp","title":"Dracaena trifasciata (Snake Plant) – Variegated Evergreen Houseplant (12cm Pot)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Snake Plant is one of the most popular architectural houseplants, grown for its bold, upright sword-like leaves banded in dark green with striking yellow margins. Botanically Dracaena trifasciata, it is still almost always sold and searched for under its older name, Sansevieria trifasciata, and is also known as Mother-in-Law's Tongue or the African Spear Plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a true low-light houseplant, tolerating dim corners as happily as a bright windowsill, and it copes well with the dry air of centrally heated homes. Its stiff, slow-growing rosette of leaves needs very little attention once settled in, which is why it has become a fixture of bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms and offices alike, and it is widely recognised as one of the better houseplants for improving indoor air quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt arrives in a 12cm pot, ready to display almost anywhere indoors. Give it bright indirect light where possible, though it will tolerate medium or low light without complaint, and keep it well away from prolonged direct sun. Plant it into a free-draining, well-aerated houseplant or cactus compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing naturally drought tolerant, the biggest risk to a Snake Plant is overwatering, so let the compost dry out completely between waterings and feed sparingly with a diluted houseplant fertiliser during the growing season. The plant is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or eaten, so keep it out of reach of curious pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law's Tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 60-90cm tall and 30-60cm wide (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, architectural evergreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, offices and other low-light spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Variegated, upright sword-like leaves with dark green cross-banding and yellow margins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright indirect light; tolerates medium and low light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free-draining, well-aerated houseplant or cactus compost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender, needs a frost-free room above about 10°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low maintenance; allow compost to dry out fully between waterings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen tropical houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"1 Plant","offer_id":67617737474268,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-SAN-SUP-SPX1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Plants","offer_id":67617737507036,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-SAN-SUP-SPX2","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Plants","offer_id":67617737539804,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-SAN-SUP-SPX3","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_fad5da1f-ba1b-47fd-b0db-95ee28db2563.png?v=1790892813","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/ps-1ltr-hp-san-sup-sp","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
