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.

Fits like a glove, looks like a million!
Size: Small, Color: Purple
Bought this as a gift for him and very impressed. Looks like a million dollars, fit true to size, looks tailored not cheap. Fabric is quality, stitching is done well and the pants have a nice hidden elastic extender that helps if he goes up or down a few pounds. Very impressed!

It was the perfect suit for our big day!
Size: X-Small, Color: Purple, Size: X-Small, Color: Purple
Purple size xs. He's 5'9" 145-150lbs. Very impressed with this suit. The color and pattern is awesome. The fit was good. I would say this suit runs large. Usually he wears a Medium in everything but ordered an XS and it fit very well. The pants were long we had to get those hemmed. There was a few stray strings by the end of the night in areas of the suit. But overall good quality. And for a great price.

We were excited and I wanted to like it but...
Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black
We ordered this for Prom and it was supposed to be a size small, which was available for Prime ordering, but had to settle for xsmall. The pants, fortunately fit well and just need to be hemmed, the vest is great and the jacket is snug. My son has broad shoulders and I was hesitant to buy the xsmall, but it does fit just right. The only thing he would need to do is unbutton the jacket while he is dancing and maybe take it off while seated and eating dinner before prom. The material is surprisingly nice and has weight to it. I was relieved it isn't flimsy. The overall look on my son is smooth and we love the pattern and the material has shine to it. I was not happy that right out of the package, the button to the jacket could potentially fall off during because it doesn't look securely sewed in. The side of the right side of the jacket has thread already coming apart. And I found a little snag in a different location. I'm really not happy about that. I posted photos so you can see what I mean. We were excited about this suit, but it's going back. The company needs to do better with quality control.
