{"product_id":"snake-plant-6-pot-bla","title":"Snake Plant Black Gold - 6\" Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Snake Plant, formerly Sansevieria, is one of the toughest and most popular indoor plants, prized for its striking, sword-like upright leaves banded in green and edged with gold. Native to West Africa, it is virtually indestructible, tolerating low light, irregular watering and neglect, which makes it perfect for beginners and busy homes. Renowned as an air-purifying plant that releases oxygen at night, it suits bedrooms, living rooms and offices alike. Its bold architectural form complements modern interiors, and it is also valued in vastu and Feng Shui for protection and positive energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAsparagaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWest Africa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 cm–1.2 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15–45 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStiff, upright, sword-like green leaves with gold edges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreenish-white (rare)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— (rarely flowers indoors)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical (indoor)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTolerates low light; best in bright indirect light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSparingly; let soil dry fully — overwatering is fatal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSoil \/ mix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGritty, fast-draining cactus\/succulent mix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18–32°C; protect from cold below 10°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow; tolerates dry air\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDilute feed once or twice in the growing season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePruning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemove damaged leaves at the base; little needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 2–3 years or when it splits the pot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDivision; leaf cuttings (slow)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePests \u0026amp; problems\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMealybugs, spider mites; root rot from overwatering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eToxicity \/ safety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToxic to cats and dogs if ingested\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery easy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low-maintenance, air-purifying decorative plant for homes and offices; popular in vastu\/Feng Shui for protection and a hardy gift for beginners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn India the biggest risk is overwatering; water only when the soil is bone dry and water far less in winter and monsoon.

Overwatering is the main cause of death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Snake Plant need sunlight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt tolerates low light but grows best in bright, indirect light. It can even take some direct sun once acclimatised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Snake Plant safe for pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, it is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed, causing nausea and vomiting, so keep it out of their reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are my Snake Plant leaves soft, mushy or falling over?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft, mushy or drooping leaves indicate overwatering and root rot. Let the soil dry out completely and reduce watering frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate a Snake Plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivide the rhizome at repotting, or root leaf cuttings in soil or water, though leaf cuttings are slow and may lose variegation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Snake Plant purify air?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is a popular air-purifying plant noted for releasing oxygen at night, which is why it is often kept in bedrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaf tips turning brown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrown tips can result from underwatering, very dry air, or inconsistent watering. Maintain a steady, sparing watering routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat soil is best for a Snake Plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fast-draining, gritty cactus or succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes, to prevent water from sitting around the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I repot a Snake Plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery 2–3 years, or when the dense roots start to crack or split the pot. It actually flowers and grows fine slightly pot-bound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan a Snake Plant survive in low light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is one of the most low-light-tolerant houseplants, though growth slows and is fuller in brighter indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51049533538550,"sku":"PLT-SNAKEPLANT-P06-BLA","price":120.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/PkbieFM5Scvw50iSTdUZGWBgAfYNfDIeAaFyFcbC.jpg?v=1782712182","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/snake-plant-6-pot-bla","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
