The familiar toughness of a Snake Plant, with an unusual metallic twist. The ‘Coppertone’ is a striking houseplant, loved for its unusual colouring, crinkled leaves and for being very very hardy.

Sansevieria grow thick, rigid leaves from the base of the plant. This particular variety has slightly inward-curved mottled leaves that form a compact, star-shaped crown and burst outward. In good light, their green patterning takes on a beautiful coppery tone, hence the name.

Like other Snake Plants, ‘Coppertone’ doesn’t need much fuss to do well in your home. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings, then water thoroughly, these plants hate being waterlogged. It can tolerate lower light, but a spot with bright, indirect light will bring out its best colour and its fastest growth.

How to care for Sansevieria 'Coppertone'

  • Lighting: Bright, indirect light is best, but can tolerate shadier spots. Avoid direct sun. North, East or West facing light is best.
  • Watering: Water once pot is completely dry, is drought tolerant.
  • Humidity: Can deal with arid conditions but is happy in average household humidity.
  • Temperature: Grows best in temperatures of around 18-28°C, but can tolerate as low as 10°C for short periods.
  • Soil Preference: Something which allows air and water to ass through easily. We recommend the Cacti & Succulent mix. Add some bark to this mix for the perfect balance of properties.
  • Good to Know: Sansevieria produce 'pups' at the base of the main plant which can be separated to start a new plant.

Why  Sansevieria Kirkii 'Coppertone' is our plant of the month

Snake plants are everywhere, so they're never top of mind for plant of the month... However, the fact they're so popular is a testament to how easy they are to keep and grow, so surely that's worth celebrating right?

If you've got a lot of houseplants, it might feel like you've outgrown your snake plant phase, but for this one we ask you to reconsider. We were very excited to get our hands on some Coppertone's and instantly knew they'd make the perfect plant of the month plant!!

These are easy to care for and not intimidating for those who want something special but don't have much houseplant experience. We think this plant is for anyone at any stage of their growing journey. Plus, it's the spookiest month of the year and this plant looks super weird and unique.
