Returns Simplified.Sansevieria Snowflake is a rare and visually striking cultivar of the snake plant group (Dracaena trifasciata), prized for its frosted variegation and sculptural form. Like all Sansevierias, it hails from Africa and Asia, where these resilient succulents have evolved to thrive in dry, challenging conditions.
The Snowflake variety features upright, sword-shaped leaves with a unique silvery-white to pale green marbling across the entire blade, giving the plant a frosted, snow-dusted appearance. The darker green edging provides contrast, enhancing the shimmering effect. This frosted colouring makes Snowflake one of the most elegant and decorative snake plants, perfect for modern interiors.
Compact compared to taller cultivars such as Sansevieria Laurentii, Snowflake typically grows to 3060 cm tall, forming tight clumps of upright foliage that resemble a frozen, living sculpture.
Thrives in bright, indirect light but adapts to medium and low-light conditions. Strong light enhances its frosted colouring, while very low light may reduce variegation. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which may scorch pale leaves.
Very drought tolerant. Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. In summer, every 23 weeks is usually enough; in winter, reduce to once a month or less. Overwatering is the most common cause of failure.
Temperature: Prefers 1828C. Can tolerate occasional dips to 10C but should not be exposed to frost.
Humidity: Perfectly suited to dry indoor air; thrives in centrally heated homes.
Plant in a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent compost. Choose a pot with drainage holes. Repot every 23 years in spring or when the clump becomes crowded.
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser. Stop feeding in autumn and winter.
Minimal care needed remove any old or damaged leaves at the base. Clean leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep their silvery sheen.
A slow-growing variety, reaching 3060 cm tall. Produces offsets over time, forming attractive clumps. Mature plants may occasionally send up a tall flower spike of small, fragrant white-green blossoms.
Yellow or mushy leaves: Almost always overwatering.
Loss of colour: Caused by insufficient light.
Pests: Rare, but mealybugs and spider mites may appear in very dry conditions.
Sansevierias have long been prized as some of the toughest houseplants available, with NASA research highlighting their ability to filter toxins and release oxygen at night. The Snowflake cultivar combines this resilience with a rare, frosted variegation that makes it particularly desirable among collectors and interior stylists.
