Zeylanica Snake Plant

Zeylanica snake plant is a named garden and houseplant form of Sansevieria trifasciata, retained here under its recorded selection name. The seller’s plant page identifies it as Dracaena trifasciata and describes upright, wavy, silver-green banded leaves; botanical names for this group vary between references. ([Florida Plant Shop](https://shopfloridaplant.com/products/snake-plant-zeylanica), [RHS Sansevieria guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/sansevieria)) ## Growing conditions Grow it in a free-draining mix and provide indirect light, from lower light to a brighter position out of harsh sun. The plant seller recommends watering only after the mix is fully dry and keeping the plant warm. The RHS gives general Sansevieria guidance for full sun to light shade and loam or sandy soil. ## Garden use The upright, banded foliage makes this selection suited to a container or a warm, sheltered planting. Its compact clumping habit and foliage are the main features; no flowering season is specified for this named form. ## Maintenance Let the soil dry fully before watering and drain the pot well. Reduce water in cool or low-light conditions, avoid cold drafts and frost, and remove damaged leaves at the base. Keep the selection label with the plant so it remains distinguishable from other Sansevieria trifasciata forms.
