Summer heat care: plants dispatch Mon–Thu so they never sit in a hot depot.

Snake Plant

Sansevieria Mother In Law's Tongue

$89.95

The wrath of the Mother-in-Law's Tongue is greatly exaggerated - I'm actually the most agreeable resident you'll ever host. Sharp of leaf, soft of temperament, and the holder of a genuine botanical superpower: I run CAM photosynthesis, meaning I open my leaf pores at night instead of by day. That night-shift breathing is why I'm the classic bedroom plant.

    About Sansevieria Mother In Law's Tongue

    The wrath of the Mother-in-Law's Tongue is greatly exaggerated - I'm actually the most agreeable resident you'll ever host. Sharp of leaf, soft of temperament, and the holder of a genuine botanical superpower: I run CAM photosynthesis, meaning I open my leaf pores at night instead of by day. That night-shift breathing is why I'm the classic bedroom plant.

    My sculptural, sword-shaped leaves handle low light, bright light, missed waterings and total neglect with identical composure. Water only when my soil is completely dry - in winter, that might mean monthly. I know. Luxurious.

    What you'll get (no surprises):

    • Medium - 140mm nursery pot
    • Large - 200mm nursery pot - taller, established leaves

    I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.

    Pets: my tongue is sharp AND mildly toxic - best kept from chewers.

    A Moisture Meter stops over-loving, and a Cooper Pot in Grey suits my architectural mood.
