Snake Plant

Sansevieria, in terracotta

from £32.00

The plant to buy if you have killed things before. It would rather be underwatered than overwatered and will tolerate a dim hallway for months without complaint.

Looking after them

  • Bright light, but nothing that puts the sun directly on the leaves.
  • Water when the top few centimetres of compost have dried out.
  • Wipe the leaves now and then so they can breathe.
