A striking variety of snake plant with unique tiger-striped leaves, the Sansevieria Zeylanica is perfect for the UAE's indoor spaces.

You can leave this plant for weeks, come back, and it will look exactly the same.
This variety of Snake Plant is known for the tiger-like stripes on their leaves.

Also known as Sansevieria zeylanica. A snake plant you can buy in Dubai, with all-green leaves.

Sizes: choose your height: 40cm, 80cm or 120cm.

Light: Bright, indirect light is best. It also adapts to medium light and darker spots, so it suits offices and rooms away from windows. Keep it out of direct midday sun.
Water: Let the soil dry out completely before watering. Check the soil every 2-4 weeks. In UAE homes with the AC on, check with your finger before watering.

Pets: not pet-safe. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.

Delivered across the UAE: we deliver in Dubai and across the UAE. Choose the Circle pot for a cement planter handmade in the UAE by Plntd, or keep the plant in its nursery pot.

Botanical name: Sansevieria Zeylanica

Green Snake Plants grow best in spaces with bright indirect light, where the sun is soft or diffused. They can adapt to medium light and dark spots, though be careful to not overwater it, as the soil will take longer to dry with lesser light. They can also tolerate direct midday sunlight because of their waxed leaves. Though be sure to monitor the soil since that will cause your Green Snake Plant's soil to dry out more quickly.

Let its soil dry out entirely before watering

Every 2-4 weeks, check as deeply into the soil as you can:

  • If you feel ANY moisture, at all, wait longer before watering.
  • If the soil feels COMPLETELY DRY, then it’s time to water.

Note: you can use a chopstick to check the moisture.

Discard excess water

When watering, fully water the entire soil mixture. Then, allow all the excess water to drain out the bottom of the pot’s drainage holes. Discard that water.

FAQ

Caring for your Green Snake Plant
Green Snake Plants are incredibly adaptable — they tolerate low, medium, and bright light, but thrive best in bright, indirect light.

Best placement: Close to an east-facing window, or a few feet from a south or west-facing window.

If the light is too low: Green Snake Plants will survive in dim corners, but growth will slow and leaf colour may become less vibrant.

If the light is too strong: Can cause leaf scorch or bleaching, especially in UAE summer afternoons.
Water every 2–4 weeks, depending on the amount of light it gets. Always let the soil dry out completely before watering again.

How to check: Stick your finger deep into the soil — if it feels dry all the way down, it’s time to water.

Why this matters: Green Snake Plants are succulents, storing water in their thick leaves. Not letting the soil dry out completely can cause root rot.

Watering tip: When watering your plant, evenly water the entire soil mixture until you see water draining from the bottom of the nursery pot. After allowing all the excess water to drain out, discard that water.
Repot every 2–3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound (roots circling and pushing against the pot). Whichever comes first.

Why not repot right away? Like most indoor plants, Green Snake Plants need time to adjust to their new environment after purchase. Immediate repotting can stress the plant.

Best time to repot: October to May, when the plant is actively growing.
Yes! Green Snake Plants benefit from regular fertilizing. If you live in the UAE, fertilize once a month from October to May, when your Green Snake Plant is actively growing.

During the peak summer months (June–September), growth will slow due to extreme heat, so reduce or pause fertilizing if your plant isn’t actively growing. Over-fertilizing can stress the plant and lead to leaf burn.
Yes — Green Snake Plants are highly tolerant of the minerals and chloramine in UAE tap water. In the wild, they often grow in rocky soils and drink from mineral-rich water sources, making them far less sensitive than tropical plants.

Better options: Filtered water or distilled water, especially if you notice leaf tip browning.

To distill water, boil in a kettle at 100 degrees celsius and allow the water to cool down to room temperature overnight.
Yes — but growth speed depends on light levels. In bright light, leaves can grow taller and new shoots will appear more often. Indoors, most varieties reach 60–90cm in height.
No — Green Snake Plants contain saponins that can cause vomiting and drooling in cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets.
Yellow leaves: Often due to overwatering or poor drainage.
Wrinkled or curling leaves: Usually a sign of underwatering or very low humidity.
Brown tips: Can be caused by inconsistent watering or prolonged exposure to hot, dry air.

If you ever need some extra help caring for your Green Snake Plant, feel free to send us a message on WhatsApp or book a plant care call with us.
No — Green Snake Plants prefer dry air. In fact, their natural desert environments often have humidity as low as 10–20%. They’ve adapted by storing water in their leaves and developing a thick, waxy coating that reduces water loss.

Why this matters indoors: Normal UAE indoor humidity levels are perfectly fine — no humidifier or misting needed.
Yes — Green Snake Plants are resilient to AC environments, as long as they are not placed directly under a vent where cold air blows constantly.
Our priority is to get your houseplant to you as safely as possible and ensure that it flourishes when it gets there.

Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot, securely packaged to protect the leaves and prevent soil spillage.

Once received, place your plant in the spot you plan to keep it in and leave it there until it is time to repot, allowing it to acclimate to its new environment.

There are some exceptions to this approach, specifically with our range of micro succulents, that tend to acclimate just fine outside of their nursery pots. So, we've gone ahead and repotted those plants for you.
As part of our guarantee, we offer free replacements for orders damaged during delivery.
Absolutely — our WhatsApp Chat is open daily for questions or booking plant care calls, and our Plant Care 101 guides include tips specific to your plants.
Select the "Make This a Gift?" option on the product page.
