- Botanical Name: Sansevieria Trifasciata
- Common Names: Snake plant, Laurentii, Mother-in-law's tongue
- Description: This evergreen perennial native to tropical West Africa and Nigeria, is a great addition to any office or household. Snake plants have strong and sturdy, sword shaped leaves which are drought tolerant and retains the plants water. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome, which keeps this variety's markings; leaf cuttings root too, but the new plants usually come up plain green. This particular variety has a washed out greyish-green look on the entirety of the plant making this a very unique addition to any plant collection.
Why choose Snake Plant Moonshine
- Bold, upright leaves that make an architectural statement
- Extremely forgiving — handles low light and infrequent watering
- Great for beginners, offices, and forgetful waterers
Looks best: floor in a low-light corner.
What you receive
- One live Snake Plant Moonshine, rooted in soil in a 3", 4", 6" or 8" nursery pot (pick a size above).
- Nursery pot and soil included; a decorative planter only if you select one.
- Live plants vary in height, fullness and leaf count within the pot size you choose; we do not publish measured shipping heights.
Will it suit your home?
- Light: Adapts low to bright, indirect; brightest growth in bright light
- Water: only when the soil is fully dry — roughly every 2–3 weeks, much less in winter.
- Difficulty: Beginner-friendly — one of the most forgiving houseplants, as long as you don't overwater.
- Growth style: Upright, architectural, clumping (spreads by rhizomes).
- Mature size: Upright leaves can reach a couple of feet over time — mature size can vary by growing conditions.
- Pet safety: Not pet-safe — toxic to cats and dogs if eaten. Keep out of reach of pets.
Good fit: Beginners and busy or forgetful waterers · Low-light rooms and offices · People who want an upright, architectural plant · Small spaces — it stays tidy.
Think twice if: Homes with pets that may chew leaves — it is toxic · People who tend to overwater — soggy soil rots it · Anyone wanting a trailing or bushy look · Spots that stay cold or frosty.

Care and common questions
- Light: Snake Plant Moonshine adapts to almost any light, from low to bright indirect — it grows fastest in bright, indirect light, but tolerates lower light better than most plants. Avoid intense, direct sun through glass.
- Watering: Water sparingly — only when the soil is completely dry, roughly every 2–3 weeks (less in winter). Overwatering and soggy soil cause root rot, which is the most common way to lose one.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is fine — no misting needed.
- Temperature: Warm room temperatures; protect it from frost and cold drafts.
- Soil: A free-draining mix (a cactus/succulent mix or potting soil cut with perlite) in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly once or twice in spring and summer; none in winter.
- Pruning: Trim any damaged leaves at the base; it spreads into a clump and can be divided.
- Care tip: When in doubt, don't water — snake plants forgive neglect far better than overwatering.
How often should I water Snake Plant Moonshine?
Water only when the soil is fully dry — roughly every 2–3 weeks, much less in winter. It prefers to dry out a little between waterings rather than stay soggy.
What kind of light does Snake Plant Moonshine need?
Snake Plant Moonshine adapts to almost any light, from low to bright indirect — it grows fastest in bright, indirect light, but tolerates lower light better than most plants. Avoid intense, direct sun through glass.
Is Snake Plant Moonshine pet safe?
No. Snake Plant Moonshine is considered toxic to cats and dogs if eaten, so keep it out of reach of pets.
Why are my Snake Plant Moonshine leaves soft, mushy, or falling over?
Soft, mushy leaves at the base are almost always root rot from overwatering. Check the mix: if it is wet, stop watering until it is completely dry, make sure the pot drains, and remove the mushy leaves. If the mix is dry and the leaves are only leaning, the plant usually needs more light or a firmer, slightly smaller pot.
