Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sansevieria ‘Futura Superba’ is a striking Snake Plant featuring wide, sword-shaped, succulent foliage with green, striped centers and yellow edges. Grows in an upright, vase-shaped clump habit. They make great patio plants but are also great used year-round as houseplants. Retail and commercial businesses love Snake Plants for their easy-care and resilience. Snake Plants prefer a well-drained soil with infrequent waterings. If your plant is in low light, hold off on watering even longer. These plants are very tough and adaptable, but will thrive in medium to bright, indirect light. Protect from freezing temperatures.
