• About Sansevieria mikado

  Snake plants are the ideal beginner plant because they need almost no attention and will be happy wherever you put them. You hardly ever have to water them and there’s no other upkeep involved except for a gentle dusting every now and then. They may be tiny but they have big personalities.

  Scientifically known as sansevieria mikado, Mikey is made of tough stuff. They’ll be happy in almost any light condition and they're very used to droughts in their home country of Africa, so they won’t mind if you forget to water them - in fact they’d probably prefer it.

  Did you know?

  When the temperature cools at night, a snake plant’s pores open, releasing all the oxygen it’s been holding in.

  This plant is 100% peat free.
