Sansevieria Moonshine

Dracaena trifasciata 'Moonshine'

sansevieria moonshine

Also known as: Moonshine Snake Plant, Silver Snake Plant, Moonlight Sansevieria

Native to the tropical regions of West Africa, Sansevieria Moonshine is one of the most striking and easy-going houseplants you can own. Its broad, upright leaves glow in a soft silvery-green color that looks like it's bathed in moonlight — giving it one of the most fitting names in the plant world. One of the few plants that actually releases oxygen at night, it's a popular choice for bedrooms where it quietly improves air quality while you sleep. Tough, beautiful, and nearly impossible to neglect.

plant tips

water
Water only when the soil is completely dry — every 4 to 6 weeks is usually enough. This plant stores water in its leaves, so less is always more.
light
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light for the most vibrant silver color. Tolerates low light well but may lose some of its silvery glow over time.
zone
Houseplant.
size
Grows 2–3 ft. tall indoors — upright, compact, and perfectly sized for any indoor space.

care

Place in a warm spot with bright indirect light and water only when the soil is completely dry. Use a well-draining potting mix — a cactus or succulent blend works great. Feed once or twice a year in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep their silvery shine looking its best. Remove any yellowing leaves at the base to keep the plant looking fresh and full.
