Know before you buy
This plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. In most indoor environments, watering once every two to four weeks is sufficient, though you should water less frequently during the winter months.
The Snake Plant Laurentii is incredibly versatile and can thrive in a wide range of light conditions, from low indirect light to bright, filtered sunlight. While it will grow faster in brighter spots, it remains healthy and vibrant even in darker corners of a room.
No, this plant is considered toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to place it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
You can easily propagate the Laurentii by taking a healthy leaf cutting and placing it in water or directly into well-draining soil. Once the cutting develops roots, it can be potted as a new, independent plant.
The 6-inch pot is designed for standard indoor use, but we recommend checking the base upon arrival. If the pot lacks drainage, it is best to keep the plant in its nursery liner or repot it into a decorative container with a drainage hole to prevent root rot.
