Dracaena pethera 'Coppertone' – Rare Copper-Tinted Snake Plant

Dracaena pethera var. pulchra 'Coppertone' (syn. Sansevieria kirkii var. pulchra 'Coppertone') is a beautifully colored cultivar of Dracaena pethera. It forms rosettes of long, strap-like leaves with undulating margins and sharply pointed tips. Each leaf is patterned with dark green spots and lines, overlaid with a distinctive coppery sheen when grown in bright light. Pinkish tints may appear along the surface, giving the plant a unique metallic glow that sets it apart from other snake plants.

What Makes 'Coppertone' Special

  • Leaf Color: Dark green mottling combined with bronze, copper, and pinkish tones in good light.
  • Growth Habit: Rosette-forming with broad, strap-like leaves up to 60 cm long.
  • Texture: Wavy leaf margins and pointed tips add character to its bold form.
  • Collector Appeal: Far rarer than standard snake plants, prized for its unusual coloration.

Background and Taxonomy

This cultivar belongs to Dracaena pethera, a species once placed in the genus Sansevieria. Following molecular studies, Sansevieria has been merged into Dracaena. The name 'Coppertone' refers to its striking coppery coloration, especially pronounced under strong light conditions. Its unique coloring makes it a standout even among the many ornamental cultivars of the group.

How to Grow Dracaena 'Coppertone'

  • Light: Best color develops in bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct sun.
  • Watering: Very drought-tolerant; water sparingly and let the soil dry thoroughly before watering again.
  • Soil: Use a mineral-rich, fast-draining succulent mix.
  • Temperature: Prefers warmth; keep above 12 °C.
  • Fertilizer: Feed lightly during the growing season with diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer.
  • Containers: Suited to wide pots that allow the rosettes to spread over time.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Color Intensity: Copper and pink hues are strongest in high light, less pronounced in shade.
  • Overwatering Risk: Roots rot easily if left in soggy soil.
  • Growth Rate: Slow-growing; develops character with age and light stress.
  • Toxicity: Like other Dracaena, toxic to pets if ingested.

Why Grow Dracaena 'Coppertone'

This cultivar combines the toughness of snake plants with extraordinary coloration. Its metallic copper and pink overtones make Dracaena 'Coppertone' a living statement piece for design-focused interiors and serious collections alike. Hardy yet exotic-looking, it brings a rare twist to an already beloved plant group.

Etymology

The genus name Dracaena comes from the Ancient Greek δράκαινα (drakaina), meaning “female dragon,” a reference to the red resin (“dragon’s blood”) produced by some species.

They are using different/cheaper shredded foam then they were 1 year ago
Color: Memory Pillow, Size: Standard, Color: Memory Pillow, Size: Standard
The shredded foam used last year was really nice and soft and even firm to a point where your head is supported perfectly while you sleep. now the 2 extra pillows I received this weekend have completely different shredded foam which seems to be cheaper. Also when you unzip the pillow cover and get to the part where you can unzip the other cover where the foam is no longer is there. so they are using cheaper shredded foam and a cheaper cover to where the foam is and you can no longer unzip the second cover to see the foam. but I can easily tell that they are using different and cheaper foam which isn't true memory foam. their new blend is too fluffy and the pillows are floppy and too soft. the old ones i bought 1 year ago are heavy pillows that are true memory foam which your head molds into perfectly and are amazing. these new ones they are making aren't worth it. In one picture you can see the cover with different colored cheap foam and the other picture with the green and white thick premium quality shredded memory foam. The other pictures show how the old ones are thick and firm and moldable for you head and the other 2 are floppy because they use cheaper shredded foam. They need to use the shredded foam they used last year! it was really good! Now they are not true memory foam pillows anymore due to changing from premium shredded foam to cheap shredded foam.

The Perfect Pillow
Size: Queen (Low Loft)
Finally found the right pillow for me. I have purchased quite a few latex pillows attempting to find the right one. I was apprehensive due to the support description being "extra soft". Yes, it's super soft when you pick it up and squeeze it, but it provides the perfect amount of support for side and back sleeping.
