Sansevieria kirkii 'Friends' mother-in-law's tongue & aluminium pot combination


  • Position: ideally bright, with some full sun, but will also tolerate shade
  • Soil: good potting compost
  • Rate of growth: slow
  • Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
  • Pot cover: includes an etched aluminium planter

    One of our new sansevierias, this plant is one of the easiest houseplants to grow and rewards you with a really striking display. It has sword-shaped, fleshy leaves, which are irregularly mottled, and these form a splayed cluster that also has architectural appeal. A great choice for the novice indoor gardener.

    Here, we've paired it up with our handmade aluminium planter, a contemporary take on antique Indian vases etched with a traditional design. Pot measures Ø17.5cm x H14cm.

  • Home care: The main thing to avoid with this plant is overwatering, so only water (avoiding the crown) when the compost gets quite dry. In winter you can cut back even more and only water every month or two and keep temperatures above 10°C. Repot every few years as the plant outgrows its pot.
