Sansevieria metallica
mother-in-law's tongue
The long tapering leaves of this new sansevieria are a subtle blend of silver, grey and green, making them ideal for windowsills, narrow desktop locations, and corner shelves. Easy to grow, this 'Snake plant' is the perfect, air-purifying plant for modern homes and busy lifestyles.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.
Please also be aware that it is quite common for these plants to have small nicks or scars on their leaves. This does not affect their long-term health or vigour in any way.

How to care for Sansevieria metallica:
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 when the roots start to split the pot.
