Sansevieria aubrytiana 'Lauren', also known as the Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law's Tongue, is a particularly striking variety of Sansevieria, noted for its robust and attractive foliage. This plant is an excellent choice for indoor environments due to its low maintenance requirements and air-purifying qualities. Here’s a detailed description and care guide for Sansevieria aubrytiana 'Lauren':
Sansevieria aubrytiana 'Lauren' features thick, broad leaves that are dark green with lighter green cross-hatching and a smooth, waxy finish. The leaves grow upright from a rosette base and can reach a significant height, making this plant an imposing and sculptural presence in any room. Like other Sansevierias, it is an extremely hardy plant, capable of tolerating a range of growing conditions.
Sansevieria aubrytiana 'Lauren' is highly adaptable to different light conditions. It thrives in anything from low light to full sunlight, although it prefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth. In very dark conditions, growth will slow, and the vibrant coloration of the leaves may fade slightly.
This plant requires minimal water. Water only when the soil has completely dried out—typically every 2-3 weeks, depending on the humidity and temperature of your environment. Overwatering is the most common mistake with Sansevierias, as it can lead to root rot. In the winter, reduce watering to once a month or less.
Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for cacti and succulents, which typically includes components like sand, perlite, and pumice to ensure adequate drainage.
Sansevieria aubrytiana 'Lauren' prefers average room temperatures (between 18 to 24 degrees Celsius) but can tolerate temperatures as low as 10 degrees Celsius. It does not require high humidity and can easily adapt to most indoor environments.
Feed with a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer or one formulated for cacti and succulents during the growing season (spring and summer), diluted to half strength. Fertilize only once or twice during this period as Sansevierias do not require much feeding.
Pruning is generally not necessary for this plant. You may remove any old or damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking tidy. Cut close to the soil surface to encourage new growth.
Sansevieria aubrytiana 'Lauren' is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, watch for signs of overwatering such as mushy leaves, which indicate root rot. Occasionally, pests like mealybugs can appear, usually when the plant is stressed or in poor growing conditions. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Sansevieria aubrytiana 'Lauren' is an excellent choice for novice gardeners or those looking for a low-maintenance houseplant. Its striking appearance and air-purifying capabilities make it a valuable addition to any indoor space, contributing both style and function.
