Snake Plant Sansevieria Gold Flame

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness Sansevieria trifasciata Gold Flame is a variegated, hybrid Snake Plant species with sword-shaped dark green leaves and vertical bright yellow stripes. New leaves emerging from the center of the foliage are usually fully yellow. They gradually turn green, making this plant look like a burning flame, hence the name. Like other plants in the Sansevieria family, Gold Flame is very resilient and forgiving. It thrives even in low light spots and needs very little care. The color contrast between vivid yellow and dark green makes Gold Flame one of the most impressive varieties in the Sansevieria family. This plant can grow up to 17 inches in height and 6 inches in width. It fits well in small spaces and makes for a perfect plant for homes and offices. This slow-growing, easy-care, and compact plant is also a very effective natural air-purifier recommended by NASA. Gold Flame loves bright to moderate indirect light, but it also tolerates lower light conditions. Avoid harsh direct sunlight. Snake Plants have a low watering need. Drain well after each watering. Water thoroughly and let the soil dry completely before the next watering. Snake Plants are vulnerable to root rot, so they need well-drained, porous potting soil. Snake Plants grow best in normal room temperatures (between 65°F-85°F). They are not frost-tolerant and do not grow well when the temperature drops below 55°F. Avoid high humidity. Snake Plants should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer. This plant is mildly toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and children.
