Rarely do houseplants combine incredibly interesting eye-candy appeal with fuss-free ease of care like sansevierias. If effortless good looks are your thing, then this three-pack of assorted live sansevierias should be right in your plant parenting wheelhouse. These tough, evergreen, drought-tolerant succulents, commonly known as snake plants, are a super way to enhance the feel-good, stress-relieving urban-jungle vibes of your home décor. Arriving in 2.5” pots and not in any hurry to go on a growth spurt, these quirky, slow-growing succulent plants reward those who are happy to pick out a pot and make it a plant’s home for the foreseeable future. The “snakes” we grow for this three-pack are a visually versatile bunch. The intriguing group features attractive banding on the leaves and a variety of shapes, from braided and those resembling spiky fingers or spears to two that look like variegated green starfish. Snake plants are ideal for beginning plant parents because they almost have to be killed on purpose (water, then water again, followed by more water) and can easily survive drought and dimly lit environments. Even so, you can place your snake plants in medium to bright, indirect light locations inside, say near a window or on a living room bookshelf, plant shelf, or kitchen counter. Snake plants can even be enjoyed outdoors, particularly in partially shaded areas away from warm direct sun. Keep sansevierias happy by planting them in well-draining soil and watering around once every two weeks. Monthly in winter. It’s optional, but you can feed once in spring and once in summer with a liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Hardy to USDA Zone 10/35 degrees F.
