 The 4 under-the-radar Sansevieria varieties are incredibly unique



A quick look at the plant moms and plant dads on Instagram reveals that Sansevieria trifasciata is one of the most popular indoor plants. With their striped, sword-like leaves, these hardy plants are a staple in stylish homes and apartments. Also known as St. George's Sword, Mother-in-law's Tongue, and Virian Will's Jute, these hardy plants boast innumerable benefits that complement their aesthetics - they are easy to grow, low maintenance, drought-tolerant, and can. Purify the air in your home.


Below you will find everything you need to know about the Sansevieria varieties including Sansevieria Moonshine, Sansevieria Sayuri, Samurai Sansevieria, and Sansevieria Golden Honey.


Snake Plant Care


Aside from that, snake plants are incredibly easy to maintain. They are native to the arid regions of Africa, Madagascar, and South Asia and require little water or daily maintenance. They thrive in bright, direct, or indirect sunlight, which means they will make their home in any corner of your space. Care methods vary slightly by type, and all snake plants are considered the best choice for very low maintenance and new plant parents.


The benefits of the snake plant


Although many houseplants are considered natural air filters, snakebite can reduce allergies and purify the air. NASA's comprehensive study has revealed that snake plants remove four major toxins from the air, including benzene and formaldehyde (found in wood products such as cleaning materials, toilet paper, and plywood).



Snake plants emit more pure oxygen than most indoor plants, which reduces the impact of household allergens such as dust and dandruff. In addition, snake plants come in many sizes - you can buy a small snake plant for your bedside table or a large upstairs sansevieria for the bare living room.


Different types of snake plants


Sansevieria Moonshine


Sansevieria Moonshine is famous for its wavy, dark green leaves that have minimal markings or stripes. They usually grow up to two feet tall and turn into a dark olive shade in low light conditions. Moonshine prefers bright, indirect light, rarely watering, and normal humidity. Like other snake plants, Moonshine is ideal for city dwellers who travel for work and do not spend much time at home.



Sansevieria Sayuri


Sansevieria Sayuri has short, straight leaves that boast a beautiful silver-sage color. Sayuri can grow up to three feet in height and make an excellent statement plant. In true snake plant form, Sayuri is incredibly backward and tolerates full sun to low light conditions. Its kryptonite is highly waterlogged, so make sure the soil is completely dry before filling the irrigation can.



Samurai Sansevieria


Samurai is a small, cactus-like Sansevieria that has layered, v-shaped leaves. The samurai sansevieria only grows to a height of four to six inches and will look beautiful on any wardrobe or side table. Like all snake plants, it can withstand drought and thrive in a dark corner or sunny window.


Sansevieria Golden Hahnii



Sansevieria Golden Hahnii, or "Golden Snake Plant", is named for its distinctive, bright yellow leaves and vertical green stripes. Like the samurai, the Golden Honey is small and only grows to a height of six to eight inches. When this variety tolerates low light, bright sunlight will bring out its vibrant yellow leaves.

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1.

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...
