Introducing the Sansevieria laurentii, known as the variegated snake plant, is one of the most popular snake plant varieties. Native to Tropical West Africa, the Sansevieria laurentii has several other common names, such as snake plant laurentii, variegated mother-in-law's tongue plant, Sansevieria trifasciata laurentii, or striped snake plant.


The Sansevieria laurentii differs from the other main type of snake plant, Sansevieria zeylanica because of its green leaves with yellow striped edges and larger size.

The plant has tall, rigid sword-like leaves that grow upright and can reach up to 8 feet tall.

Its leaves provide a striking contrast between their dark green color and the dazzling gold variegation around the edges. 

The flowers of this variegated snake plant are creamy white, pale green, and bloom from late winter through early spring, making it a true showstopper in any garden. This perennial Sansevieria laurentii succulent is perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance addition to their garden or indoor space.  

Sansevieria is part of our clean air plant collection, which filters airborne toxins. The Laurentii snake plant is a popular plant that can be grown in both rock gardens and landscaping, as well as in decorative pots indoors. It's a versatile plant that adds beauty to outdoor spaces and brings a touch of greenery to indoor environments. 

However, because this snake plant laurentii grows slowly, large plants can be expensive. 

When and How to Water Your Variegated Snake Plant 

The Variegated Snake Plant is a drought-tolerant succulent that should be watered every 2–3 weeks during spring and summer and only once every 4–5 weeks during fall and winter, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.

From March to August, during the growing season, water your Sansevieria laurentii every 2 to 3 weeks, giving just enough water to moisten the root zone. This is when the plant is actively photosynthesizing and may absorb water more quickly, especially in warm, bright indoor conditions. Always ensure excess water drains out fully and never let the pot sit in water.

From September to February, during the dormant season, reduce watering to once every 4 to 5 weeks, or only when the soil is bone dry. The plant’s growth slows down significantly during cooler months, and its water needs decrease accordingly. Overwatering in winter can easily lead to soft, rotting roots or fungal issues.

Thanks to CAM photosynthesis, this snake plant opens its stomata at night, conserving water efficiently throughout the day. This adaptation, along with its thick, moisture-retentive leaves, means it’s better to underwater than overwater. Wrinkling or slight leaf shriveling are early signs it’s time to water, while mushy or yellowing leaves indicate excess moisture and possible root rot.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Variegated Snake Plant

If growing indoors, place your Sansevieria succulents directly in front of a west- or south-facing window, where it gets 4-6 hours of bright, indirect light.

If Sansevieria laurentii don't receive enough bright light, their dark green leaves with yellow variegated edges may grow leggy, become paler, and shorten.

So, make your succulent happy and give your variegated snake plant plenty of brighter light.

When growing outdoors, this Sansevieria laurentii prefers full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours but can also tolerate low light conditions, making it a great choice for rooms with limited natural light. Direct sunlight should be avoided because it can burn your variegated snake plant leaves.

Remember, it's important to gradually acclimate it to the outdoor environment to prevent sunburn. Start by placing it in a shaded area and gradually move it to a spot with more sunlight over a few weeks. This will help the plant adjust to the increased light levels.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Sansevieria laurentii snake plant thrives in well-drained soil and should be fertilized once a year in spring. Moisture can be a real killer, leading to root and stem rot in no time. But fear not, my fellow green thumbs! Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulents potting mix that includes organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy Sansevieria laurentii. 

When it comes to fertilizing your variegated snake plant, it only needs a small amount of fertilizer applied once a year in the spring. Succulents prefer a fertilizer with lower doses of NPK, with a maximum ratio of 5-10-5 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

In the United States, this 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. 

This plant thrives in dry, semi-tropical conditions, but it goes dormant when temperatures dip, slowing its growth significantly.

If exposed to prolonged cold or frost, especially below 50°F, the leaves may suffer scarring, mushiness, or collapse.

Even in zones where outdoor cultivation is possible, it’s best to grow them in containers so they can be easily relocated when temperatures become unfavorable.

How to Grow Variegated Snake Plant Best Indoors

To grow your Variegated Snake Plant successfully indoors, maintain a warm, stable environment with temperatures between 65°F and 75°F, which closely mimics its native tropical climate. This plant does not tolerate frost or cold drafts, so it should always be kept away from open windows in winter or air conditioning vents. High humidity can also be problematic, as it increases the risk of rot, so aim for dry, well-ventilated indoor conditions. Its upright, sword-shaped leaves not only make it a great vertical accent in tight spaces but also help purify indoor air, making it both a functional and decorative choice for homes and offices.

Wildlife - Variegated Snake Plant Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The variegated snake plant produces small, fragrant flowers that attract a variety of friendly pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These pollinators are essential for the plant's reproduction and play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity in the ecosystem.

According to ASPCA, the variegated snake plant is mildly toxic to humans and pets if ingested. The entire plant contains saponins, which can cause gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, it is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for indoor decoration in homes with pets or children.

How to Propagate Your Sanseveria laurentii

The Sansevieria laurentii 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 fresh soil. For leaf cuttings, simply cut a healthy leaf into smaller sections and plant them in soil to root.

Key Takeaways

  1. The variegated snake plant stores water in its thick, upright leaves, making it extremely drought-tolerant and perfect for forgetful waterers or low-maintenance homes.
  2. Its striking vertical foliage is edged with golden-yellow margins, giving it a bold, architectural look that stands out in any modern interior.
  3. This plant improves indoor air quality by filtering toxins like formaldehyde and benzene, making it both beautiful and functional for home or office spaces.
  4. Thanks to CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis, it absorbs carbon dioxide at night, making it one of the few houseplants ideal for bedroom air purification.
  5. It’s nearly indestructible in the right pot, tolerating low light, dry air, and minimal care, yet leaf damage can occur if temperatures drop below 50°F.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Sansevieria Laurentii (snake plant laurentii) is a beautiful and resilient plant suitable for indoor spaces due to its ability to tolerate various conditions. Its upright leaves and variegated pattern add elegance to any room. It is low-maintenance, thrives in well-draining soil, and prefers bright, indirect light. Watering should be minimal to prevent overwatering. It can withstand neglect and drought periods. Sansevieria Laurentii's air-purifying qualities make it an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality.

Very conservative approach, BUT that's not necessarily a hard pass if you're more progressive
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
A few things you should know if you're considering this purchase: 1. This commentary set has a conservative take on many topics. I haven't read through everything, but that is the general approach. 2. This commentary set is has a very strong complementarian view, and it takes the time to argue this extensively in all the key passages like the Creation story, 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, 1 Timothy 2 and 3, and Titus 2. It also makes reference to it in smaller passages like Romans 16:1-3 and Acts 18:26. 3. The conclusion given for the practical application of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 is that this passage should be put into practice with whatever is relevant in the culture you live in. Many denominations would take this approach; very conservative denominations will find issue with the application not being specifically head coverings. The only reason I'm mentioning these things is so you get a better understanding of what approach this commentary set takes. The fact that I gave this set 5 stars is not because of its conservative views, but rather for the following reasons: 1. The commentary is written in a way that's easy to understand and follow. I felt like the language and sentence structure is pretty down to earth compared to other deeply theological and intellectual commentaries I've read. 2. It's formatted in a way that feels digestible. It goes through the whole Bible taking one chunk of Scripture at a time. So this is what it looks like: A big title saying what the Scripture passage is, then a paragraph or two of Scripture, and then the commentary on the Scripture. The commentary is broken up into these sections: Section Overview, Section Outline, Comment (which has commentary clearly marked verse by verse), and Response. I've included a picture to show what I mean. (Many Scripture passages are longer than the one shown in the picture though.) I find this format to be pretty easy to follow along. 3. It's easy to tell that a lot of thought and effort went into this set. It feels thorough, but not overwhelmingly detailed. Now, for a bit of my personal opinions about the views this commentary set holds. I'm not certain where I fall in the whole conservative/progressive spectrum. I'm not sure I can clearly define whether I'm complementarian or egalitarian. But I do believe in actively listening to opposing viewpoints, even when it feels uncomfortable to do so. It was truthfully uncomfortable for me to read a very strong complementarian view. However, even in the discomfort, I still came across other things in this commentary set that gave a more clear understanding of Scripture, things I'd never thought of before and that were good for me to read. If you're more progressive, it goes without saying that this commentary set will not align with your views on everything. However, I don't necessarily think that means the set is absolutely not for you. I believe that the church at large, regardless of where we are on the conservative or progressive spectrum, would benefit from reading and listening to views we might not necessarily agree with. I believe it helps us grow in compassion and understanding and grace toward each other. And even though you may find yourself strongly disagreeing with some of the conservative views, I really do think there's a lot of other commentary that you would probably find really helpful and great to read.

Analog Assistance
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This ESV Expository Commentary (12-Volume Set) is a dream come true for me. Here’s why I wanted it: I have difficulty with picking up my phone to search the internet when I don’t understand a thing I’m reading during my daily study. I loathe this habit because it takes a lot to reel myself back in to my study time. For over a month now I’ve used this set to put my foot down and have less distraction for the most important part of my day. [Side note: I use the M’Cheyne one year reading plan each year to give myself the discipline to read through but now I am finally able to use my time wisely when I have questions.] Now, as I read from the old and New Testament each day, it feels like I have a very studious friend by my side helping me gain more depth of understanding by filling in the many gaps of my knowledge base. Each book is covered with an overview, author, date, occasion and purpose, genre and literary features, relationship to the rest of the Bible and Christ (love this section) and a preaching from section and some have an interpretive challenges section. (: Each chapter has: Section overview, section outline, comments and response. In the contents section it shares the exactly the authors names who contributed. I’m thankful this part is clear because I can look into further writings by these authors if they have anything. I could just cry over how beautiful and helpful this set of incredible books have been to my life. I have much more confidence in facing the more challenging sections of the Bible. —————————————- Physically: Some of these books are very hefty so keep them where you won’t have to carry one far to get to your desk. I only have to walk up a few stairs but if I’ve got two of the thicker ones? lol A workout for me! They lay open very well, the spine is designed beautifully for easier place holding. There is plenty of border around each page so you can add notes quite plentifully if you’re like me (a micron of 01 size or finer gives maximum use if you write tiny and it doesn’t bleed). The font is not tiny, even the footnotes are reasonably sized. The scripture written about is in the text itself which is great if you have a smaller desk. They take up almost an entire bookshelf in a standard shelving unit. ————————————— These are amazing, just amazingly clear and readable. I’ve been especially helped by the historical context which I previously was unaware of- like information on the people in surrounding areas, their cultures and beliefs, the impact it had on the Jewish peoples etc. [[The cost: If you are thinking you don’t want to afford these, here’s how I look at it: I purchase a phone every three years or so, I was about to put that off one more year and buy these. If you have a daughter or son and they are on fire for the Lord and studious-these would make a mind blowingly great gift for graduation. If you are wondering what to get your pastor this year, why not get a few people in on it with you? If you, like me, just really want a boost to your understanding that is pretty much exhaustive this set will help you for years to come. I say these things because I know the cost gave me pause but after reading them for over a month I know them to be worth every cent, for me: they’ve been pretty much priceless.]] I’ve been encouraged and informed by the hours I’ve read through these and they simply shine with thorough scholarly care, now I would not hesitate for a second to recommend these to any believer with the conviction that we ought to be ready in season and able to answer to the reason for our joy. I agree with the other reviewers who’ve said these are for anyone teenaged and up (I’m sure they’d be helpful for studious children even younger depending on their ability and desire). PS Most of my pictures are from the volume X- Romans through Galatians because that’s what I happened to be using during this review. I sure hope something in my review helps you to make the best choice for your needs. (:

Comprehensive, invaluable resource
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This set is just massive. There is so much depth and insight, I don't know that I'll ever get to it all. One could literally read these volumes cover to cover because they're simply interesting and thought provoking. That said, I think it's best taken in small doses, perhaps focusing on single verses as they arise in daily life or in bible study. The physical quality of the volumes is top notch as well. This set would work well in a private library but could be equally appropriate for a church library. Absolutely recommended.

Imposing and Exceptional Quality
Format: Hardcover
The content and quality of the ESV commentary series matches that of their study Bibles. Broadly reformed, but not dogmatic on a particular angle, clear and concise, great for study. This commentary set isn't so much for digging deep in the weeds as it is for learning a solid Biblical Theology-based framework of the Bible. It's simpler than some, but much more in-depth than the ESV Study Bible, making it the next step for learning. The full set is imposing - lovely big, black hardbacks which look phenomenal on a bookshelf. Do I think this is practical for everybody? No, it might not be. You can get this kind of thing in digital form in one way or another these days (please understand that I don't like to go quite that digital, and I haven't researched what all is available). If you're pressed for living space, you might not want these. I live with a spouse in a midsize one-bedroom apartment. Fortunately, we already knew we wanted to prioritize some of our space for physical books, because we find pleasure in them. I will have to clear off some of my existing bookshelf space and relegate some books to a box in storage (consider that this set takes up all the space in a fairly large packing box, and you'll know how much you need). But it's worth it for me. I also see the acquisition of this box set as a bit of a prompt to take back up more in-depth study of the Scripture, which too often gets sidetracked by the rest of life getting in the way. Having the physical books are already something of a commitment. If all I had were ebooks or an app, I would likely never utilize them the same way. Last notes: these were packed very well. Each volume is shrink-wrapped in cellophane and none of the corners were damaged. They did a good job with that. Lastly, the price for these is fairly high. I acknowledge that. I think theological books are about on the same level, usually, however. So I did not see the need to deduct a star.
