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.

Great product, saved my hair
Honestly this is one of the best products I have ever used for my hair. I have been able to increase volume and thickness of my hair. The product is versatile and can be used in conjunction with other products as well. The application is very easy and I usually use any excess product on my skin for the added benefits. If you have fine hair your hair will get oily if you don't wash out so I just apply at night and wash out the next morning. Overall my hair is so much healthier and I am really happy I found this. Also I apply this 2-3 times per week overnight and wash in the AM. It will stain your pillow case so sleep with a bonnet or something with breathable material.

Love this batana oil over the other brands
This batana oil has natural ingredients and leaves my hair very moisturized. I have seen some hair growth after using this for a few weeks. So it's great value for my money. It does have a coffee scent but that doesn't bother me at all. I would definitely repurchase this again.

**UPDATE ON PDT*** Ingredients changed
Ok here’s my update (4/4/26) We loved it. It did what it was supposed to do in the beginning but now I stopped using the product. Ingredients must’ve changed. It’s now a darker color, it doesn’t dissolve like it did in the past, and worst part— my daughter’s hair started breaking off. It could just be her hair but I don’t want to take chances. The ingredients definitely changed. We are trying azure batana and will stick with it for 3 months to see results. But as of now their product looks like the real deal. It’s a shame because I like consistency. I’ll stick with one product for years. Oh well. Tossed this one out. (Pic 1-2 AFTER USING; Pic 3 BEFORE USING) Yes it works. It smells so if you’re sensitive to smells, you might only want to use it as a deep conditioner. Both my daughter & I are adjusted to the smell and love the results so we can easily prioritize our results over the less than fragrant odor. But the results!!! My daughter lost 40% of her hair a yr ago to severe scalp ezcema (+ a trip to St Martin’s beautiful yet salty water). We used other products with marginal success. I started using this product 2 months ago & I already see results. We use it twice weekly as a spot treatment along the crown & nape of her head, and deep condition with it twice monthly. Her locs are growing and more importantly, her edges and nape are recovering tremendously. We’re going to keep at it!! We like the texture (moist but not sticky), it leaves her locs moisturized but not weighed down. Her hair is drinking it up. Will repost after 2 more months.
