Introducing the Zeylanica Snake Plant, known as 'Sansevieria zeylanica,' a low-maintenance snake plant belonging to the Sansevieria genus. The Sansevieria zeylanica has several other common names, such as Ceylon Bowstring Hemp, Vipers Bowstring Hemp, Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law's Tongue, or Snake Plant, and is very similar to the Sansevieria trifasciata. 


For its modern look and easy care, the Sansevieria zeylanica snake plant is very popular among gardeners.

The Sansevieria zeylanica has long, sword-shaped leaves that grow upright and can grow up to 3–4 feet tall and 2 feet wide.

The leaves are a vibrant shade of green, with light gray-green horizontal stripes running along their length.

This unique pattern adds visual interest and makes it a standout addition to any indoor space.

The flowers of the Sansevieria zeylanica snake plant have tall spikes with small, tubular flowers, typically greenish white, pale green, or cream, that bloom from spring to summer. However, it's worth noting that indoor-grown Sansevieria zeylanica plants rarely flower. These snake plants are more popular for their striking foliage than for their blooms. 

Native to tropical West Africa, the Sansevieria zeylanica plant thrives in bright light to partial shade, making it ideal for indoor spaces. It releases oxygen at night, purifying the indoor air by removing harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and xylene and providing a fresh burst of oxygen while you sleep, making it an excellent addition to your bedroom.

When and How to Water Your Sansevieria zeylanica 

Sansevieria zeylanica is a drought-tolerant succulent that stores moisture in its thick, upright leaves. This adaptation allows it to thrive in dry indoor conditions and makes it very forgiving if you forget to water occasionally. Always let the soil dry out completely between waterings; keeping the roots too wet can lead to rot. This snake plant prefers watering once every 10-14 days in spring and summer, and once a month in the dormant season. 

In the spring and summer, during its active growing season, your Zeylanica will use more water and benefit from deeper but infrequent watering once every 10-14 days. Be sure to adjust your schedule based on the temperature, light, and container size, especially if the plant is receiving bright indirect sun.

In the cooler months or winter, growth slows down and the plant enters a semi-dormant state. At this stage, reduce watering significantly; sometimes as little as once a month is sufficient. Overwatering in winter is one of the most common causes of decline in snake plants, so err on the dry side.

Watch for signs of dehydration in your Sansevieria zeylanica succulent, such as a pale discoloration and the leaves starting to shrivel. This indicates that it's consuming the water stored in its interior. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Zeylanica Snake Plant

When growing indoors, Sansevieria zeylanica can thrive in moderate-to-bright indirect light for at least 6-8 hours a day, such as near a window with filtered sunlight. However, it can also tolerate lower light conditions, like those found in offices or rooms with less natural light.

Just keep in mind that if you place it in a low-light area, your Sansevieria zeylanica may grow more slowly and have less vibrant foliage.

If growing outdoors in warm, frost-free climates, Zeylanica does best in partial shade or dappled sunlight for 4–6 hours of filtered sunlight daily under a pergola or tree canopy. Avoid placing it in direct midday sun, especially in hot zones, as this can scorch or bleach the foliage. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to observe your Sansevieria plant and adjust its lighting conditions accordingly. If you notice the leaves turning yellow or pale, it may be an indication that they're receiving too much direct sunlight. If the leaves become dark green and start to stretch towards the light, it may be a sign that they need more indirect light.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Sansevieria zeylanica favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well, and should be fertilized once a year in spring. Planting them in ordinary potting soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. To prevent overwatering, use a terracotta pot with a drainage hole. Instead, make or buy a well-draining succulent potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized potting mix that contains organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing these house plants, organic fertilizers with an equal ratio of 5-10-5 (NPK) also last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals (too much fertilizer) and give your tropical plants some love with some awesome organic fertilizer! 

Hardiness Zones & More

In the United States, this snake plant is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

If you live in a colder climate outside of these hardiness zones, it's best to keep your Sansevieria zeylanica indoors or treat it as a container plant that you can move indoors during the colder months. 

Remember, this snake plant prefers warmth, so if you do decide to bring it outdoors during the summer months, make sure to place it in a shaded area to protect it from intense sunlight and provide adequate humidity.

The Sansevieria zeylanica is a relatively low-maintenance plant and can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, which are typically around 40–60%. However, it can also adapt to lower humidity levels without any major issues. So, you don't need to worry too much about providing specific humidity conditions for this snake plant.

How to Best Grow Sansevieria zeylanica Indoors

When growing indoors, your Sansevieria zeylanica can thrive in temperatures between 60°F and 85°F. However, it can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures down to 50°F and warmer temperatures up to 90°F. Just be mindful that extreme temperature fluctuations or prolonged exposure to very low or high temperatures can stress the Sansevieria plant.

Wildlife - Sansevieria zeylanica Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Zeylanica Snake Plant is known to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its vibrant flowers and sweet nectar. These pollinators play a crucial role in the plant's reproduction and overall ecosystem health.

According to the ASPCA, Sansevieria zeylanica is mildly toxic to both cats and dogs. They contain saponins, which can cause gastrointestinal upset if ingested in large amounts. However, it is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for pet owners looking for a low-maintenance houseplant option.

How to Propagate Your Sansevieria zeylanica Snake Plant

The Sansevieria zeylanica snake plants can be propagated through division or leaf cuttings. To propagate through division, carefully separate the plant into smaller sections with roots attached and replant them in new pots with well-draining soil. For leaf cuttings, simply cut a healthy leaf into smaller sections and plant them in soil to encourage new growth.

Key Takeaways

  1. Sansevieria zeylanica is highly drought-tolerant, storing water in its thick, upright leaves and requiring minimal watering to stay healthy.
  2. This plant can thrive in low-light conditions, making it an excellent choice for offices, bedrooms, and other indoor spaces with limited sunlight.
  3. Sansevieria zeylanica helps improve indoor air quality by filtering out toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene.
  4. The plant is known for its toughness and resilience, tolerating neglect, temperature fluctuations, and most common houseplant pests.
  5. Its bold, sword-like foliage features silver-green, wavy patterns, adding a modern, sculptural element to home or office decor.

The Bottom Line

Overall, Sansevieria zeylanica is a fantastic snake plant for both indoor and outdoor gardening. With its sword-shaped leaves and low-maintenance nature, it can tolerate lower humidity levels and is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9–11. Its striking appearance, air-purifying qualities, and resilience make it a popular choice. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced plant enthusiast, the zeylanica snake plant is a great addition to any collection. So, if you're looking for a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant, give Sansevieria zeylanica a try!

These were my new "Go To" jeans, not so much after a wearing for a year
Size: 35W x 32L, Color: Antique Indigo, Size: 35W x 32L, Color: Antique Indigo
Love 'em already after only one day of wearing them. I am a 7 days a week, jeans wearing kind of guy pretty much. Office job and recreation. I got scared away from my usual beloved ***tco jeans because of the bad reviews on their site for their now "Made in China" 12.99 jeans which used to be made in Mexico. So off to Amazon to shop for my first Amazon clothes purchase. Found these Antique Indigo Wrangler jeans for just under double the warehouse price. Advantage was they had the exact size I wanted (35Wx32L) vs settling for either 34W or 36W at the warehouse. The waist size was exact. I measured the waist by folding the waist in half and measuring with a tape measure. 17.5 inches exactly (17.5" X 2 = 35"). Didn't measure the length. Color seems to be a tad darker than the Antique Indigo pictured on the website. To me they seem to be in between the Antique Indigo and Antique Navy in color, but that is just my opinion. I guess it could be monitor differences. Doesn't matter to me. Not sure it matters to anyone (it doesn't to me) but I decided to weigh these and compare them to my very worn 34x32 warehouse jeans. These were exactly 30ounces. The warehouse jeans were 27 ounces. These are Made in Mexico of US materials as stated on the tag. These will be my new go to jeans, even at double my usual price, until ***tco goes back to the old Mexican manufacturer. Yes, this is my real opinion not influenced by free or reduced price product for providing a review. Update March 21, 2017: So, here it is a year later. How do they measure up now? I have changed my review from 5 to 3 stars for the following reasons: 1. Weak patch (1/2 star deduction) - The Wrangler "patch" on the back has either ripped or started "peeling" off on two of three pairs purchased. Not that big of a deal as I just remove it completely when it starts hanging. The patch is made of some leatherish paper is the way I would describe it. Doesn't really seem to be cloth and certainly isn't leather. Would be nice and longer lasting if it was real leather. 2. Manufacturing variation (1/2 star deduction) - One pair of the three is maybe one inch shorter than the others. The length of two pairs is the same and long enough to lay on my shoes with a bit to spare. The other pair just barely makes it to my shoes. Not a deal breaker but I am conscious of that pair being shorter when I wear them. 3. Short pocket flaps (1 star deduction) - Not sure how to describe this. The part of the denim that enters the pocket and to which the white pocket material is sewn to, doesn't go deep enough into the pocket. The result is that this part partially pulls out of the pocket (or almost so), making the white pocket material marginally visible. I am very frequently aware of my pocket whites being displayed to the world and am frequently tucking them or pushing them back in. This is the worst aspect of these jeans for me. This might just be an aspect of the way these jeans fit on my body shape. If this denim part that enters into the pocket were just 1/2" or 1" deeper into the pocket, this would not be a problem. So far the durability of the jeans is great, other than the Wrangler patch. They don't really have to survive much in my day-to-day use of them, as I work in an office setting and don't wear a belt with my jeans, but they seem to be a match for the warehouse jeans I used to purchase. Would I buy again? To be honest, I would probably try another brand or maybe another style within the Wrangler family and only come back to these if I could not find anything better based on price and performance. These are okay jeans and I will continue to wear them to the end of their life.

As a tall person, things are normally difficult to find. This seller did well on the packaging and shipping, so I wanted to support them in order to still have a vendor that sells my sizes. These jeans in particular did fit me nicely.
