Golden Edge Snake Plant
Botanical Name: Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii' (syn. Dracaena trifasciata 'Laurentii')
Family: Asparagaceae
Origin: West Africa (Nigeria to Congo)
Plant Type: Evergreen clumping succulent perennial (indoor or sheltered outdoor)
Overview
One of the world's most recognised and widely grown indoor plants, Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii' is the classic golden-edged Snake Plant — and for very good reason. Its tall, stiffly upright sword-shaped leaves in deep green with irregular lighter green banding and vivid golden-yellow margins are bold, architectural and instantly distinctive. It brings strong vertical structure and year-round foliage interest to any indoor space, sheltered courtyard or warm outdoor position across Adelaide.
Virtually indestructible, 'Laurentii' tolerates low light, infrequent watering, drought, heat and neglect with extraordinary resilience. It is one of the most forgiving plants available and consistently ranked among the best air-purifying indoor plants. For Adelaide gardens it suits sheltered outdoor positions in warmer months and thrives indoors year-round — a genuinely essential plant for modern homes, offices and outdoor living spaces.
Key Features
- Mature Size: 0.6–1.2 m H x 0.4–0.6 m W (upright clumping habit; spreads slowly via rhizomes)
- Growth Rate: Slow; 5–15 cm per year; long-lived and steadily expanding clump
- Foliage: Tall, stiffly upright sword-shaped leaves; deep green with irregular lighter green horizontal banding and distinctive bright golden-yellow margins; thick, succulent and leathery; evergreen year-round
- Flowers: Rarely flowers indoors; mature outdoor specimens occasionally produce fragrant cream to greenish-white tubular flower spikes in summer; a bonus rather than the primary appeal
- Fragrance: Flowers lightly fragrant when produced; foliage not fragrant
- Seasonal Interest: Bold architectural upright foliage with golden margins year-round; clump slowly expands over time; occasional fragrant flower spike in warm conditions on mature specimens
- Wildlife Value: Minimal; primarily valued as an indoor and courtyard architectural plant
- Tolerance: Extremely drought-tolerant; excellent heat tolerance; tolerates low to bright indirect light; tolerates neglect exceptionally well; frost-sensitive — protect from frost and cold winds; dislikes overwatering and waterlogging which are the primary causes of failure; dislikes cold draughts
- Planting Density: Single feature specimen; groups of 3 at 40–50 cm spacing for bold indoor or outdoor displays; suitable for any container (25 cm+)
- Pet Friendly: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested; can cause nausea, vomiting and drooling; keep away from pets
Where It Works Best
- Sunlight: Bright indirect light to low light indoors; full sun to part shade in sheltered outdoor positions; golden margin colouring is most vivid in brighter light; tolerates surprisingly low light but grows more slowly
- Soil: Free-draining sandy or succulent/cactus potting mix essential; excellent drainage is the single most important factor; never allow to sit in water; in ground outdoors, well-drained sandy or loamy soils only
- Water Needs: Establishment: water sparingly — once every 2 weeks is sufficient. Established: extremely low water needs; water every 2–4 weeks in summer allowing soil to dry completely between waterings; water only once every 4–8 weeks in cooler months; overwatering is by far the most common cause of failure
- Maintenance: Virtually maintenance-free; remove dead or damaged leaves at the base; wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep them looking their best; divide clumps every 3–5 years to manage size and propagate; feed with a diluted balanced fertiliser once or twice during spring and summer only
- Lifespan: Very long-lived; indefinite with correct care; clumps expand slowly and can live for decades
- Climate Zones: Outstanding indoors across all Adelaide zones year-round; sheltered outdoor use in warm coastal suburbs and protected courtyards in warmer months; bring indoors or protect when temperatures drop below 10°C
- Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0–7.0); not sensitive to pH in well-drained conditions
Landscape & Design Ideas
- Bold indoor feature plant for living rooms, offices, atriums and hallways where its tall upright form and golden margins create strong architectural presence in any light level
- Sheltered alfresco and courtyard container specimen providing year-round structural foliage interest with minimal maintenance in Adelaide's warmer months
- Group three plants together in a statement container for a dramatic, hotel-lobby style indoor display that requires almost no care
- Pair with other low-water sculptural plants such as Agave, ZZ Plant and Alocasia for a bold, contemporary indoor plant collection
- Bedroom and office plant; listed by NASA as one of the most effective air-purifying plants, filtering toxins including benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene
Why You Will Love It
'Laurentii' is the gold standard of low-maintenance indoor plants and for good reason. The bold upright leaves with their vivid golden margins look spectacular in almost any interior setting, it tolerates neglect better than almost any other plant, and it keeps working quietly in the background to clean the air. If you want drama, structure and virtually zero maintenance — this is the plant.

MUST HAVE for game devs
Format: Paperback
Fantastic book about the theories of what makes a game feel good and fun to play. I'd be doing the author a disservice if I attempted to explain it myself, just purchase the book and read it for yourself. Written very well and easy to understand even while going into very complex and intricate explanations.
I'd say that this is a must have for any game developer. Hell, even for those who are just interested in learning more about games.

Great Reading, Mind Opening
Format: Kindle
This is a terrifically interesting and entertaining book, which presented me with at least two blockbuster ideas that changed the way I think about the past. I'll get to those in a minute, but first a few general points. Charles Mann is a science journalist:who seems to specialize in BIG topics. His 2005 book ("1491", which argues that the pre-Columbian population of the Americas was much larger and more sophisticated than generally assumed), was very well received. I enjoyed it so much, and thought it so valuable a book, that I was very anxious to read "1493".
"1493" lived up to my (high) expectations. Mann is remarkable writer, with an extraordinary ability to present very complex facts and ideas in way that's not just accessible to the lay reader, it's fun for the lay reader. This isn't to say that the book isn't carefully researched -- the text is followed by almost 100 pages of footnotes, and throughout he cites and acknowledges the scientists and others from whom he has drawn information. It's just that Mann manages to combine a myriad of facts and hypotheses into a compelling narrative. And he often puts this in very concrete terms, focussing on individual people, commodities or events. It adds up to a fascinating read.
It is also a very important one, with implications for the future as well as about the past. Mann's subject in this book is the Columbian Exchange, the sudden movement of plants, microbes, animals and people between the eastern and western hemispheres after Columbus' voyage to the Americas in 1492. A well known effect of this was the eastern hemisphere adoption of western hemisphere foods (tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and on and on). Another effect that's only been recently come to be widely understood is the devastating impact on the pre-Columbian population of the Americas; as many as 80% died in the epidemics that followed the introduction of diseases to which they had no immunity. But the population die-off and the exchange of plant species are not the only effects of the Columbian Exchange. Mann's book explores the myriad ways in which the Exchange -- globablization -- has shaped the world of today.
Two things I learned from the book struck me particularly. First, like most Americans of my generation (older) I learned in school that the colonization of the Americas was carried out by white people, who moved into a largely uninhabited continent. "1491" took care of the uninhabited: "1493" takes care of the white. Mann says that from 1500 to 1840, about 3.4 million white Europeans emigrated to the Americas. Over the same period, about 11.7 million captive Africans were sent to the Americas. Except for New England, much of the United States and most of Latin American was far more black than white. (And probably in 1840 still more Indian/Native American than anything else). The racial balance changed as white immigration ramped up and as millions upon millions of blacks died too young, but the picture of early America looks very different to me now.
Secondly, Mann discussed at length the 19th century ecological disaster that engulfed China. I had always assumed that the floods that killed so many millions in China had always happened, and were the result of geography. There have indeed always been floods, but their severity and human cost grew logarithmically in the 19th century. New crops led to more food and to rising population growth, and at the same time to more potential cash crops, increasing the pressure on existing land holdings, and leading to vast land clearances. That made the floods far worse when they came, undermining the political structure and compounding China's problems. This was interesting not just a light on the past, but as a warning signal for the future.
The review is already too long, so, to sum it up: Great book!! Read it!! Give it to friends and family!!

LOVED This Read! Blew Me Away
Format: Hardcover
What a fantastic read! Woah. All of the Americas have an extraordinary history. I was mesmerized from beginning to end. If you like knowing your history, you will love this book. Well researched and smartly written. Couldn't put it down. Books like this are why people love to read. If you think you know the Americas, you might be surprised to find that there's more, and be prepared for a bit of a shake up. This book was a real eye opener.
