Exploring Snake Plant Verites

Understanding Snake Plants 

Snake plants (sometimes referred to as Sansevieria or Dracaena trifasciata) are among the most common garden plants for house and plant enthusiasts. Best known for their spiky vertical leaves, low maintenance, and capacity to cleanse the air, these plants add aesthetic appeal and wellness to any room in your home. They are native to tropical West Africa. 

There are different kinds of snake plants, and each one stands out. The colors they are available in, the variations of yellows, or weird forms mean that there's something for every décor or herb garden. Here, we explore a few famous types of snake plants along with their different properties. 

What Kinds of Snake Plants Will You Love? 

1. Sansevieria Laurentii 

The most familiar snake plant is Sansevieria Laurentii, a long sword-shaped plant with a yellow edge. It is a plant for those who want a beautiful plant while still looking pretty. Its straight, formal look is perfect for modern and minimalist rooms. 

The Laurentii is a tough plant for novices that can tolerate darkness and irregular watering. The plant isn't just renowned for its beauty; it's also admired for its role in clean indoor air, eliminating chemicals such as formaldehyde and benzene. 

2. Sansevieria Cylindrica (Cylinder Snake Plant) 

To try something different on the snake plant, try Sansevieria Cylindrica - it's cylindrical, and the tubular leaves look exotic. These leaves usually form in rosette formation and can grow to considerable heights as an audacious sculpture. 

The variety is adaptable and forgiving in direct sunlight and shade. It's drought-tolerant, so the busiest plant parent needn't take care of it to have its beauty. Sansevieria Cylindrica is excellent for decorative braiding and spiceing up a collection. 

3. Sansevieria Moonshine 

The Sansevieria Moonshine is distinguished by its silvery, pale-green leaves, which are cool and modern. This variety is excellent when you want a bit of elegance in a room. The leaves are broad and lighter than snake plants, a relaxing scent. 

Moonshine is an attractive plant, but it's also just as resilient as other snakes: little water is needed and quite tolerant of low light. Its gentle color makes it a perfect partner for other brightly colored indoor plants for a balanced, even arrangement. 

Plants to Brighten Your Garden 

1. Virginia Bluebell (Mertensia virginica) 

Virginia Bluebells: Virginia Bluebells are a sweet native wildflower that will add spring color to shaded beds. Their bell-shaped flowers move from bud to blossom, from pink to deep blue, for a showy effect. These flowers are a feast for bees and butterflies and are, therefore, a low-impact landscape plant. 

2. Redbud Tree (Cercis canadensis) 

The redbud tree has pink blossoms in early spring. It is a small ornamental tree that turns any yard into a visual spectacle. Its heart-shaped leaves and showy flowers are a must-have for homeowners who want seasonal interest in their yards. Redbuds do well in any soil and make a lovely focal point. 

3. Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) 

Christmas Fern: The Christmas Fern is an original evergreen that keeps itself green all year, including during the winter. Its wavy fronds make it an easy choice for woodland borders, underplanting, or bedding. This easy-to-care-for fern gives any garden texture and dimension. 

Why Snake Plants Have a Place in Your Home 

Snake plants are more than pretty houseplants: they are among the easiest plants to maintain and grow for novice and expert gardeners alike. Their air-purifying capacity is well known, and they can also survive in less-than-ideal conditions. 

Please choose from the cheery Sansevieria Laurentii, the sculptured Sansevieria Cylindrica, or the contemporary Sansevieria Moonshine; we have a snake plant for any style and budget. Combine with other exotic plants, such as Virginia bluebells, redbud trees, or Christmas ferns, and you will have an animated and exciting landscape that is entirely natural. 

Snake plants are classic beauty to decorate any space inside and outside; good design lies in plain sight.
