Hello, I’m Sammy the Sansevieria zeylanica. I’m more commonly known as the black coral snake plant, thanks to my tall, sword-shaped leaves. Cast an eye over me and you’ll notice I look a little ssssstrangel: my broad leaves are covered with black stripe patterns which, if you see them out of the corner of your eye, might make you worry that a slithering visitor might have snuck into your space. I joke, I joke: I won’t scare you, I promise!
Like our namesake creatures, there are plenty of us in the wild, where you’ll find us dotted around South East Asia and Africa. While I might be native to tropical climes, I’m actually a bit of a cool customer and can grow in colder, less humid and even darker conditions.
As far as indoor plants go, I’m actually very adaptable to my surroundings and I’m one of those houseplants that will look good in a draughty hallway, sunny conservatory or dark bathroom. If you’re a beginner, let’s be friends: I’m a super easy-care plant who’s perfect for adding greenery to your home.
