1 x Sansevieria Trifasciata 'Moonshine Approx 25cm tall

Sansevieria Trifasciata 'Moonshine', also known as Snake Plant, Mother-in-law's Tongue, or Bowstring Hemp, is a popular and easy-to-care-for indoor plant. It is characterised by its strikingly tall, upright, sword-shaped leaves that are a silver-green colour with dark green margins. The leaves have a smooth, shiny texture that gives them a sleek, modern appearance.

Care guide:
1. Light: Snake plants prefer bright, indirect light, but they can also tolerate low light conditions. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch their leaves.
2. Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Water sparingly during the winter months when the plant is in its dormant phase.
3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix specifically designed for succulent plants to prevent waterlogged soil and root rot.
4. Temperature: Keep your Snake Plant in a room with temperatures between 15-29°C. It can tolerate cooler temperatures, but avoid exposing it to temperatures below 10°C.
5. Humidity: Snake plants are tolerant of low humidity levels, making them a great choice for dry indoor environments.
6. Fertiliser: Feed your Snake Plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
7. Repotting: Repot your Snake Plant every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to prevent overwatering.
8. Pests: Snake plants are relatively pest-resistant, but mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects can sometimes present a problem. Keep an eye out for any signs of infestation and treat them promptly with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Overall, Sansevieria Trifasciata 'Moonshine' is a perfect low-maintenance houseplant. Its unique appearance and air-purifying qualities make it a wonderful addition to your home or office.
