Know before you buy
As a drought-tolerant succulent, this plant prefers to dry out completely between waterings. You should only water when the soil is dry to the touch, which typically means every few weeks depending on your home's humidity and light levels.
The 'Starfish' Snake Plant prefers bright, indirect light. While it is quite adaptable, avoid placing it in harsh, direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
This variety has a slow growth rate, meaning it will maintain its compact, architectural shape for a long time without needing frequent repotting. It is an ideal choice if you prefer a plant that stays relatively consistent in size.
Yes, the plant arrives fully established in its own pot with soil. You can place it directly in your desired spot as soon as it arrives.
