Snake Plants (Dracaena trifasciata, formerly Sansevieria trifasciata) are tall, striking plants with strong, leathery leaves standing upright like sentinels in the soil.
Snake plants are native to tropical West Africa, which is hot, rocky, and dry. They have adapted to these conditions with their succulent leaves that hold water for long periods of time.
Soil structure is important for a plant’s well-being. Snake plants, being a type of succulent, need loose, very well-draining soil that affords the roots plenty of air space and drainage.
