Returns Simplified.Sansevieria Coppertone is a rare and unusual cultivar of the snake plant family, admired for its bronze to copper-toned foliage that sets it apart from the more common green and yellow varieties. Native to Africa and Asia, Sansevierias are famed for their drought tolerance and architectural leaves but Coppertone brings a unique metallic warmth to interiors.
The leaves are upright, narrow, and slightly arching, with a leathery texture and smooth finish. Their colour ranges from deep green through bronze to coppery-brown, depending on light exposure. This striking palette gives the plant a sculptural, almost ornamental-metal look, making it particularly popular with collectors and lovers of unusual succulents.
Compact and slow-growing, Sansevieria Coppertone typically reaches 3050 cm in height, forming tidy clumps over time. Its subtle metallic hues add sophistication to modern homes and office spaces.
Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its copper tones. Tolerates medium and low-light environments, though foliage colour may deepen to greener shades. Avoid strong midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Extremely drought tolerant. Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. In summer, watering every 23 weeks is sufficient; in winter, reduce to once a month or less. Overwatering is the most common issue.
Temperature: Best in 1828C. Protect from prolonged exposure below 10C.
Humidity: Naturally suited to dry air thrives in centrally heated homes.
Plant in a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent compost. Heavy pots are recommended to balance its upright leaves. Repot every 23 years in spring as clumps expand.
Apply a diluted cactus fertiliser once a month during spring and summer. Stop feeding in autumn and winter.
Remove old or damaged leaves at the base. Wipe foliage gently with a damp cloth to highlight its copper tones.
A slow grower, reaching 3050 cm tall. Produces offsets (pups) from its rhizomes over time, creating attractive clumps. Mature plants may occasionally produce flower spikes with clusters of small, fragrant, creamy-white blooms.
Mushy or yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Wrinkled foliage: Prolonged underwatering revive with a thorough soak.
Pests: Rare, but mealybugs and spider mites can appear in dry conditions.
Snake plants are among the toughest houseplants, recommended for both beginners and collectors. The Coppertone cultivar is especially prized for its unusual bronzed foliage, giving it an exotic, contemporary edge. Like all Sansevierias, it also has air-purifying qualities, removing toxins from the air while releasing oxygen at night.
