Snake Plants (Sansevieria / Mother-in-Law's Tongue)

    Le Botanist, Perth's snake plant specialists, offer one of Australia's largest ranges of snake plants (Sansevieria), with 16+ varieties to choose from. Also known as mother-in-law's tongue, snake plants are some of the toughest and most stylish houseplants you can own. Our range runs from the classic golden-edged Laurentii and the bold, mottled Futura Robusta to compact dwarfs like the Hahnii and Black Dragon, silvery types such as Moonshine and Silver Queen, and sculptural showpieces like the cylindrica and Whale Fin.

    They suit Australian homes so well because they cope with the things that trip up other houseplants. Most tolerate low or bright indirect light, handle dry air from heating and air conditioning, and are happy to be watered only when the potting mix has dried out. That makes them ideal for apartments, offices, and busy households, and for beginners who want a plant that forgives the odd missed watering.

    Whether you want a tall floor plant or something small for a desk, there is a snake plant to match. Please note that all snake plants are mildly toxic to cats and dogs if chewed, so keep them out of reach of pets.

    Not sure where to start? Our snake plant care guide covers light, watering and potting, and our guide to propagating from leaf cuttings shows you how to grow new plants from the ones you love. Orders can be picked up in Perth or shipped to your door anywhere in Australia.
