Introducing, the moonshine snake plant, known as Sansevieria Moonshine, a popular houseplant that belongs to the Sansevieria genus. Native to West Africa, it is a variety of the Sansevieria trifasciata. It has several other common names such as the Sansevieria trifasciata Moonshine, Silver Snake Plant, Silver Sansevieria, Sansevieria moonglow, or Dracaena moonshine, highlighting its attractive silver coloration. The Moonshine Snake Plant is a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts, with its silvery-green leaves that have a moonlight glow. 

This moonshine snake plant features long, upright leaves that grow in a rosette pattern. The leaves are thick with a smooth texture of a beautiful silvery-green hue and bold green edges. They have a unique cylindrical shape, narrowing towards the tips, which adds to their visual appeal. The Moonshine Snake Plant can grow up to 4 feet tall in its natural habitat and 2 feet tall indoors, making it suitable for both small and large spaces. 

Sansevieria Moonshine blooms in spring and summer, with fragrant green and white flowers on tall spikes. These sweet-smelling flowers will last 2 to 3 weeks. While the blooms are not the main attraction of these indoor plants, they can add a touch of elegance to their overall appearance. 

Propagating Snake Plant moonshine is relatively easy. It can be propagated through leaf cuttings or by dividing the plant's rhizomes. Leaf cuttings can be placed in water or directly in well-draining soil until they develop roots. Dividing the plant involves separating the offshoots or rhizomes and planting them in separate pots to get new plants. 

Moonshine Snake plants, known for their hardiness, low maintenance, and style, are commonly found in offices, lobbies, stores, and homes. The most common types of snake plants include Sansevieria trifasciata (Mother in law’s tongue plant), Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii' (Variegated snake plant), and Sansevieria zeylanica (Zeylanica snake plant), which is gaining popularity in various settings. 

Watering Needs 

Like other tropical plants, this drought-tolerant Sansevieria Moonshine prefers moderate watering. Allow the soil line to completely dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's best to err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering. Before watering, check the moisture level of the soil by sticking your finger about an inch deep into the soil. If it feels dry at that depth, it's time to water. If it's still slightly moist, wait a bit longer. 

In the spring and summer months, during the growing season, water your Sansevieria Moonshine every 2-3 weeks. While in the fall and winter months, during the dormant period, reduce watering to once every 4-6 weeks. 

When watering, make sure to thoroughly saturate the soil in the pot, allowing water to seep out of the drainage holes. This ensures that the roots receive adequate moisture without sitting in stagnant water. 

These moonshine snake plants are known for their ability to tolerate drought, so they can handle periods of dryness. Observing the moisture level of the soil and adjusting your watering accordingly will help keep your Sansevieria Moonshine happy and healthy. 

Light Requirements 

If you are growing your Sansevieria moonshine indoors, it prefers bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours a day. If you have a spot near a window with filtered or indirect sunlight, that would be ideal. However, this moonshine snake plant can also thrive in areas with medium light, making it a perfect choice for those with less sunny spaces in their homes. 

If you decide to move your Sansevieria Moonshine outdoors, it's important to consider its light requirements. Your moonshine snake plant can tolerate full sunlight, but it's best to provide it with bright indirect light or partial shade. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, so finding a spot with filtered sunlight or placing it under a shade structure would be beneficial. If you live in a region with intense sunlight, it's a good idea to acclimate the plant gradually to prevent leaf burn. 

Remember, finding the right balance of light is crucial for this beautiful plant. Too little light can result in leggy growth, while too much direct sunlight can cause leaf damage. Observing your snake plant's moonshine response to its current light conditions and adjusting accordingly will help ensure its health and growth. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Sansevieria moonshine prefers very airy, porous, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.5 - 7.5. Succulents require fast-draining soil that dries completely between waterings. Your soil must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil. Soggy wet soil can damage your moonshine snake plant and contribute to bacterial and fungal rot. In addition, because of a lack of oxygen, soggy soil substitutes air pockets with water, resulting in an anaerobic environment that can kill your snake plant. 

As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. Ideally, you want to use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

The Sansevieria Moonshine is a relatively low-maintenance plant when it comes to fertilizing. During the growing season in the spring, you can feed your Moonshine Snake Plant with a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer once a year. However, be careful not to over-fertilize, as it can lead to salt buildup in the soil. 

It's important to note that the Sansevieria Moonshine is a slow-growing snake plant, so it doesn't have high nutrient requirements. As long as you provide it with well-drained soil and occasional fertilization during the growing season, it should thrive. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to observe your plant's response to the soil and fertilizer you provide. Adjusting the watering and fertilizing routine based on its growth and overall health will help ensure its well-being. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the Sansevieria Moonshine can tolerate a warm temperature between 60°F to 85°F. It's important to avoid exposing it to extreme temperature fluctuations, as this can stress the plant. Keep it in a spot where the temperature remains relatively stable throughout the day. 

If you decide to move your Sansevieria Moonshine outdoors, it can thrive in USDA zones 10-11, where the average temperature stays above 50°F. If you live in a colder zone, it's important to protect the plant from freezing temperatures by keeping it indoors during the winter months. It can tolerate higher temperatures, but it's important to protect it from scorching direct sunlight, especially in hotter climates. 

The Sansevieria Moonshine is a relatively low-humidity plant. It can tolerate a range of humidity levels, from dry to moderate. It's well-suited for indoor environments with average humidity levels. If you live in a particularly dry climate, you can increase humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water nearby or using a humidifier. This snake plant is one of the hardiest houseplants and is extremely adaptable. 

Remember, providing the Sansevieria Moonshine with the appropriate temperature and humidity conditions will contribute to its overall health and growth. Whether you choose to keep it indoors or move it outdoors, maintaining a suitable environment will help ensure its well-being. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Sansevieria Moonshine (Moonshine Snake Plant) is a low-maintenance snake plant for succulent plant lovers of all levels. With its striking silvery-green leaves, easy propagation methods, and ability to thrive in various indoor conditions, this moonshine snake plant adds a touch of elegance to any space. While it occasionally produces small, fragrant flowers, its main allure lies in its unique foliage. It thrives in bright, indirect light and only needs to be watered when the top inch of soil is dry. Additionally, it is important to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. You can grow your plant indoors in warm temperatures between 60°F to 85°F, and outdoors in USDA zones 10-11.

New Trope for Me
Format: Kindle
The Prologue alone was the funniest thing I've read all year. I LOVE the fact Everly gets her own pov, it allow the story to flow so smoothly. Plus she's hysterical. I laughed so hard reading this book, I had tears in my eyes. A surrogacy romance is a new one for me, but I went in open minded. And if anything I definitely have a new found respect for the practice. I love that Amy Daws did not glaze over the surrogacy process, and took the time to include the different practices and barriers one might encounter. While this book can be read as standalone, I personally wished I started with Last On the List (Max's book) to get a proper introduction. We of course know how the book would end, I still found there to be so many twist and turns. Especially when Trista had that heart to heart with her sister. I believe this was a great start to the series, it made me look forward to the next book, which I immediately started reading. My biggest issue I had with this story was it seemed like Trista often took advantage of Wyatt, basically from the moment she met Everly. And when confronted about anything she played the "pity me I grew up poor and unloved" card. At first it was funny, but then I'm like hmmm are you punishing this man because he grew up loved and well off. She often wants him to respect her boundaries, but could care less about his. No means no lady . She some what redeemed herself in the end, but I still struggled to connect with Trista as a whole.

Gets the Creative Juices Flowing
Format: Paperback
I picked up this book after hearing Kim Addonizio give a reading at my college when I was an undergraduate. Creative Writing and poetry were my areas of emphasis and although we used a different textbook in my poetry class, I came to love this one. It won't give you the formal training in meter and poetic forms that another textbook might, but I love the examples and the prompts for inspiration. It's my favorite book to turn to when I feel the creative well is running dry. It's warm and funny and you feel a real presence from the authors as if you have teachers with you. I haven't met Dorianne Laux, but I have chatted with Kim Addonizio twice after readings and she was lovely. (Her readings are fantastic, by the way, and I highly recommend them!) If you are familiar with Kim Addonizio'ss poems then you shouldn't be surprised to find a section on erotic poetry in this book. Erotic poems have a long tradition in poetry and they are not "porn" as one reviewer suggested. Sexuality and sensuality are part of life and the artistic expression of such is a special skill set. I think it's fantastic that this book doesn't sensor that. I love the examples chosen for this book--many beautiful, contemporary poems that utilize vivid and unexpected imagery. I find them inspiring. They make me want to write and they make me want to be a better writer. I do believe that if you are a beginner or if you are considering this book as a textbook for a class you should consider it as a supplement to a book that goes into a little more depth in certain areas, such as Writing Poems (see if you can get an older edition, if you are lucky, as I see this book has become quite expensive). But this is a fantastic little book and I love having both a hard copy to underline and put notes in and a Kindle copy to keep with me on my phone so I can have a little inspiration with me for easy access. No matter where you are in your journey as a poet, I believe this is a wonderful book to have in your library.

Received brand new book in perfect condition for less than ten dollars
Format: Paperback
Received brand new book in perfect condition for less than ten dollars. I needed this exact book for a creative writing course and I enjoy the exercises within the different sections. They are very thought provoking and creativity stimulating and would be excellent inspiration for any poetic or even descriptive writer. Also, I find the writing style of the author amazingly easy to read. It is simple and straightforward, easy to follow and not boring as some other texts are. The tone is inspirational honestly, always providing tips and writing encouragement. This is a nice positive twist and delightful different perspective for aspiring writers and though it sounds to be directed at amateurs, I think any author who may experience writer's block at times could find this useful and full of insight to try out fresh perspectives to pen about topics that may be applied to a broad range of subjects. Quality informative and yet uplifting text regarding poetic writing!

Practical, Useful, Down to Earth, Inspiring!
Format: Paperback
I love this book. After reading the first chapter early one morning I went outside to feed and water my cats and came in and wrote a poem about flowing water, tangled morning glories and memories of my mother. It's one of the most inspiring, practical and encouraging books about writing poetry that I've ever read, and trust me, I've read them all. It has technical information and poems to illustrate each chapter, which is very helpful. The suggestions at the end of each chapter are down to earth and do-able, unlike some books that are just too high-minded for the average person. If you love to write poems and just need some inspiration and a little advice and encouragement, then definitely buy this book. It's worth its weight in gold!

Took me by surprise 😮
Format: Paperback
The revised part of my review: I do agree with a reviewer; Thomas "Should Have Been Better" Especially his paragraph here: [Unless (like the authors) you think that Sharon Olds' "passing blood and feces and water" and her "stool black with iron pills" (page 234) are high points in the world of modern poetry, you may resist their suggestion to "read all five of her books, for pleasure first, of course, but secondly to examine how she goes about her difficult task" (page 47).] As I have read more, I am reevaluating my own opinions of this book. I still feel it has been helpful, although much of it I would have preferred to have never read! Poor choice of examples to a student indeed! This, is my original review: I thought it was going to be a bunch of lame assignments, well there definitely are some assignments so to speak. I haven't even made it through half of the 1st chapter and I've written 6 or 7 new reflections (which some call poetry)! It digs deep, at least it did for me...pretty personal when you open yourself up to it. Good challenge and good lessons to glean from and grow as a writer. I still plan on keeping this around, probably with a few pages removed.
