Braided Snake Plant (Sansevieria cylindrica 'Braid')
Braided Snake Plant is a low-maintenance, sculptural houseplant that brings a clean, modern look to desks, shelves, and floor planters. Its thick, upright leaves tolerate missed waterings and dry indoor air, making it a reliable choice for busy homes and offices. The braided form adds instant style and a finished, designed feel without needing frequent care. It also adapts to a range of indoor light levels, so it is easy to place where you need strong structure.
Distinctive Features
This snake plant features cylindrical, spear-like leaves that are trained into a braid, creating a bold architectural accent with a tidy footprint. The leaves are smooth, thick, and moisture-storing, typically marked with subtle gray-green striping that adds quiet texture. Growth is slow and steady, and the braided form holds its shape while new shoots may emerge at the base over time. Mature size varies by pot size and training, but it is commonly about 18 to 30 inches tall and 8 to 14 inches wide.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright indirect light is ideal, but it tolerates low light and can handle some direct sun when acclimated.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, in a pot with drainage.
- Water: Water only when the soil has dried out, since overwatering is the most common problem.
- Temperature: Prefers typical indoor temperatures and should be protected from cold drafts and frost.
- Mature Size: About 18 to 30 inches tall and 8 to 14 inches wide, depending on training and container size.
- Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine, and no special humidity support is needed.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a focal point where the braided silhouette can anchor a tabletop or room corner with strong vertical lines.
- Modern Decor: Place in contemporary interiors where clean shapes and simple textures support a minimalist style.
- Office Plants: Keep at work for a durable, low-maintenance plant that stays neat with minimal care.
- Low-Light Rooms: Use in spaces with less natural light where many houseplants struggle.
- Entryway Accent: Position near an entry to create an immediate, structured look that feels intentional and polished.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Let the pot dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and drain excess water.
- Light Adjustment: Rotate the pot occasionally to keep growth even, especially in lower light.
- Cleaning: Wipe leaves with a dry or lightly damp cloth to remove dust and keep the braid looking sharp.
- Repotting: Repot every few years when crowded, using fresh, well-draining mix and a stable pot.
- Feeding: Fertilize lightly in spring and summer, and avoid feeding during low-light winter months.
Why Choose Braided Snake Plant?
- Sculptural Style: Braided, cylindrical leaves create an instant design statement with a modern feel.
- Low Water Needs: Thick leaves store moisture and tolerate missed waterings.
- Light Flexibility: Adapts well to a wide range of indoor light levels.
- Compact Footprint: Upright form fits neatly on floors, shelves, and tabletops without spreading.
- Easy Care: Minimal grooming and straightforward watering make it ideal for beginners.
Braided Snake Plant is a simple way to add strong structure and a styled look with very little maintenance. Give it well-drained soil, let it dry between waterings, and place it in steady indoor light for best performance. With its durable nature and sculptural form, it stays looking polished day after day.

Imam Gazali, also known as Hujjatul Islam, is a great scholar if Islam who consolidated the tenets of the religion against corruption. The Alchemy of Happiness is a must read for anyone who wishes to take the journey for self explotation, to better understand the self; and by doing so, establish a solid relationship with Allah, the lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. The true happiness will only come through such a relationship.

A letter of Gratitude to Irv Yalom for Creatures of a Day.
Format: Hardcover
Dear Irv Yalom,
This letter is a declaration of gratitude for your newly published book, Creatures of a Day, and the artful legacy you’ve bestowed upon the field of psychotherapy. In the era of fast technology and mass production, your attention to relationship and the handcrafted nature of therapy is a life line. In all of your 50 years as a psychotherapist, you didn’t sell out for clinical blueprints and formulaic approaches. Instead, you opted to stay true to what you knew--the here and now, the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and your own internal thoughts and experiences as essential elements for your work with clients. Creatures of a Day waves a flag and asks us to take notice. It invites us back into the mystery of our work and reminds us to celebrate our humanness. Your masterful story telling allows us to see you and your clients in action, mistakes and vulnerabilities included, and shares pivotal moments that will provoke thoughtful learning for generations of therapists. So thank you for this.
You show us your mistakes
You see, your books (especially Love’s Executioner and Creatures of a Day) let us into your thoughts and experiences. We get to hear you talk to yourself and occasionally grapple with doubt. We get to know your own vulnerabilities and how they influence your therapeutic relationships. This is such a rare view. And I am hungry for it. There are too few books, too few videos, and fewer workshops or trainings that offer this kind of perspective for therapists. We don’t get to see masters make mistakes. We don’t get to hear supervisors or consultants narrate their doubts. So, I consider your book an invitation to write about my own similar encounters in my work. And to continue to make this kind of conversation central to my trainings and retreats for therapists. Thank you for the inspiration and the permission.
You offer central themes and an individualized perspective
As a collection of psychotherapy tales, I think of Creatures of a Day as a series. Like a series of paintings that are created around central themes, your tales invite us to look at the existential themes of aging, death, and connectedness. And, just like a painting series, each reader will take with them a message that is individualized and of unique importance to him/her. In this way, you are truly exhibiting your art as a writer and a psychotherapist. In Creatures of a Day, two patients read the same book and take from it a very different, but beautifully applicable, message. A nurse perceives the angry words she hissed to her dying patient completely opposite of the way in which they were received by the woman she was treating. And a case that you filed away as a blunder turns out to have been a life changer that is only revealed about a decade or so later. This is a reminder to me that while we can’t predict how our art is received, we can in fact commit to creating and collaborating in the very best way we can.
You invite humanness and the art of relationship
I’d like to let you know that in addition to the invitation to write about my experience as a therapist, I welcome your permission to be human with my clients. And, with that comes a renewed dedication to knowing and experiencing what being human is for me. This means deepening my relationship with my art, continuing my work in therapy, and showing up with the same honesty and openness that you let us see in your book.
You make risk a good thing
You ask your patients to risk and use this in as a very important subject during the course of treatment. You take several risks in Creatures of a Day, and show us that risks are a vital part of being an authentic and real therapist. You show us that in your work you are just being honest and attending to your experience and the client’s experience. In fact it is more risky to be untruthful or hide than it is to show up and attend the the relationship.
You inspire me
I won’t stop practicing. You inspire me to continue to write about my own work. And in my own small way, carry your legacy forward.
Once again, thank you for your guidance, your influence, and your legacy.
Lisa Mitchell, MFT, ATR, LPC

Short book, big recommendation!
Format: Hardcover
Great book, smooth read that is not overly technical for those who aren't therapists themselves. Examines large existential questions in a digestible format with each chapter being a different real world story. Highly recommend.

Yalom as always, but fizzing out.
Format: Hardcover
When entering the field of psychology, I was first introduced to Yalom. As I look back on my early career, I realize that he has influenced my thinking more than I'd like to admit. His focus on relationships and death anxiety are central in this work, as they were in the past. You get a real sense of how he works and we are invited into the intimate and sacred corners of his office and his mind.
However, his depth - his use of metaphors and his robust explanations are declining. He is still a profound and articulate writer but I have noticed a drop off in his writing that began with the Spinoza Problem and continues here. Ironically, Yalom is fading, his writing abilities are dying - which makes his own wrestling with his mortality even more visceral to me as a reader.
I continue to be thankful for his insight and work.
