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!

Unbelievable!!!
Color: White, Number of Items: 1, Color: White, Number of Items: 1
First off, let me say wow! When I received this, I didn’t expect much because of the price, but I am blown away with the care that was given in the packaging alone, the simplicity of putting it together with the detailed yet brief instruction page, and the ability to put this together with one person. Took me less than 40mins. Highly recommend!!! And in fact, I’m purchasing another one right now as I’m sitting here rocking in my new beautiful chair. UPDATE: a lot of negative reviews are basically user error. To attach the wheels, to snap on, I used a rubber (not metal) mallet to tap them in. To the leveling review, you have one arm on backwards. To the screw passing through, you may be correct but double check you didn’t use the required screws elsewhere. And the person saying it doesn’t recline, you have to release the lock - pull the up and down lever out and away from the seat. Good luck all! Bought a second one - same thoughts as above. Pretty awesome chair.

Great aesthetic and easy assembly, but lacking in all-day comfort
Color: Orange, Number of Items: 1
Pros: Simple Assembly: It took less than 45 minutes to build. The instructions are straightforward, and all necessary tools are included. Getting the armrests aligned takes a bit of finagling, but it's manageable. Appearance & Shipping: It arrived well-packaged with no damage. It has a sleek, modern look that adds a great aesthetic to an office space, and the height adjustment works perfectly. Cons: Lack of Support: The comfort level falls short. At 5'11", I found the back offers no lumbar support, and the backrest isn't tall enough to serve as a headrest. Disappointing Armrests: The armrests are mostly metal with a thin, flimsy layer of faux leather. If you live in a colder climate or a poorly insulated home, the metal frames get quite cold to the touch. Limited Padding: The seat cushion is minimal. After about 3 hours of sitting, it starts to feel very firm and uncomfortable. Verdict: You ultimately get what you pay for. I would not recommend this as a primary desk chair for an 8-hour workday. However, it is an affordable, sharp-looking option if you just need a decorative accent piece, a guest chair, or budget-friendly seating for a conference room.

I am very pleased with this chair. I’m working on building my home office and it’s important to me and have a look that is comforting and clean looking the chair was easy to put together. Didn’t take very long at all. It’s sturdy. It rises up and down to fit your height and it’s comfortable. It was a great purchase. I’m glad I got it.

Seller Stall Tactics
Color: White, Number of Items: 1, Color: White, Number of Items: 1
My chair arrived last Wednesday, but I only assembled it today. It looks overwhelming as you take all of the pieces out of the box, but it is straightforward to assemble. Took me less than 45 minutes start to finish. Assembled, the chair is really nice. Many reviews talk about the incessant squeaking. I'm guessing it has to do with how they assembled the chair. Mine does not make a sound. The seat is very firm, it may be uncomfortable for some people; I'll have a better idea after I use it for awhile. I gave it 4 stars because the plastic lever to raise/lower the chair, the underside broke off in 3 pieces! Fortunately I was able to fit the pieces back, and used liquid Gorilla Glue all over the broken seams. So far it's holding up well. Visually the chair is beautiful. UPDATED 6/1/20 - I originally gave this chair 4 stars. As you can see in my original post, I took one star off for a crucial piece that was broken inside the box. I read reviews where customers who experienced issues were not getting assistance from the seller. I am now in that same issue. After I initially e-mailed the seller regarding a replacement part for that one piece, they are repeatedly e-mailing me asking me is this part broken, is that part also broken. My last e-mail to them stated that I have explained the issue in detail multiple times and if I am sent one more e-mail asking if another part is broken, I will know this is a stall tactic. I have an e-mail this morning asking if the gas lift is broken. I've contacted Amazon to contact the seller with the understanding that if they stall Amazon as well, a request will be made for a full refund. I am NOT the one to play with when it comes to shady customer service. If I could give negative stars based on the seller alone, I would.

Well made value chair
Color: Black, Color: Black
Great value and well constructed. Easy to assemble. It’s very light and maneuverable. It’s reasonably comfortable for occasional use although I would prefer something with more support if I were using this every day. For my needs, however, it’s perfect. Adjustments are easy – especially height, changing from tilting to rigid. I also appreciate the swing up arms, which was a feature that I particularly liked with this chair.
