Snake Plant Black Gold - Golden Serpent: Air-Purifying, Drought-Tolerant Houseplant

Meet the Golden Serpent, the ultimate warrior of the plant kingdom! Hailing from tropical West Africa and Nigeria, this evergreen perennial is the Chuck Norris of houseplants. Sporting deep green, sword-shaped leaves with a suave yellow outline, this Snake Plant means business when it comes to purifying your air and looking fabulous while doing it. It's as low-maintenance as your favorite pair of sweatpants, making it a stellar companion for busy bees and plant novices alike. Plus, you can easily propagate it by leaf cuttings—because who wouldn't want to share the love?

Benefits:

Care Instructions:

The Golden Serpent thrives in well-draining soil and a variety of lighting conditions, from low light to bright, indirect light.

In terms of temperature, keep it cozy between 60-75°F. To reward it for being such a good sport, feed sparingly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
