11 Snake Plant Varieties to Add To Your Collection ASAP
video description
The boncel I acquired three years ago. I had it living in a tall mason jar for more than two years! Clearly it stayed in a compacted size in that time.
I didn't know what it was for the longest time, and virtually never watered or paid attention to it. It is hearty and it lived without my attention. Every few months I would dump some excess water in it and forget about it!
I have since moved it to an actual pot, and it grew huge and fast over the summer. During the winter it stopped growing, as have all my house plants. The boncel I propagated, and have a baby one going, they are all resting for the winter.
The zeylanica is beautiful in a clay pot that I found and painted white. I may add sand to the soil when the weather gets warm again (East coast. I have gnats in the house, which I read is partly due to over watering. I am the motherly type to the house plants when I learn what they are. I will not water for many extra days past my typical watering schedule and let them dry out properly.

I was waiting for this video hoping to hear some good news about the ones I have in my yard, but after realizing you didn't include the species I have and a bit of research, I've come to realize that I have a not fun project ahead. I have several Sansevieria hyacinthoides growing in my front yard. We're in south Florida and they've become a nuisance in this area. I was hoping to pull a few to pot and bring inside, but now I see that it's not under the umbrella that are considered for indoor plants and worse yet it's going to take a while to get rid of them all together.

I have a few of the taller and shorter ones growing outside in my yard, some in the ground and some in containers. I find they like morning sun, afternoon shade. They also like a bit of protection from the wind and the cold, here in Central Florida, East Coast. I like pairing them up with other plants in pretty containers. They look really nice with Vinca, a. k. a. Periwinkle.

Glad to see a houseplant video again and on one of my favorites, snake plants. I have 6 different ones. You didn't mention fernwood and cylindrica which are two of my newest along with Samurai which you did. Looking forward to more houseplant videos plus I'm curious to find out how to propagate samurai.

Interesting. My 'Black Gold' looks very different than yours. Not nearly as 'bird nesty' in appearance like yours, and far, far darker green (almost black when in shade) with a very pronounced gold border. I'm guessing that cultivar is highly variable.

Great info. I've been obsessed with finding a whale fin snake plant for my entry way that gets really low light. More indoor plant videos please. I'm a budding plant dad (pun intended) and appreciate as much knowledge as I can get.

I found this snake plant to be pretty interesting and surprised it didn't make the list but it seems there are a LOT of different types! Sansevieria trifasciata 'Twisted Sister' snake plant. not your basic looking snake plant.

Thanks for this. You didnt mention tips and the way you handled it made me wonder if that is a thing or if I just made it up. I thought if tip was broken it didnt grow anymore. Mine definitely are affected by a broken tip

And I thought you were going to be talking about snake beans when I read the title you should do an episode about that though. check out the Chinese pythons snake bean on rareseeds. com

For over four years we have been trying to kill snake plants that were planted in the yard of a house we bought. We have yet to be successful, and we have tried everything.

I have one that looks like five (small) whales fins planted in a perfect circle, about 5 inch diameter at the base. Ive always wondered what type it is.
