Introducing the Sansevieria laurentii, known as the variegated snake plant, is one of the most popular snake plant varieties. Native to Tropical West Africa, the Sansevieria laurentii has several other common names, such as snake plant laurentii, variegated mother-in-law's tongue plant, Sansevieria trifasciata laurentii, or striped snake plant.


The Sansevieria laurentii differs from the other main type of snake plant, Sansevieria zeylanica because of its green leaves with yellow striped edges and larger size.

The plant has tall, rigid sword-like leaves that grow upright and can reach up to 8 feet tall.

Its leaves provide a striking contrast between their dark green color and the dazzling gold variegation around the edges. 

The flowers of this variegated snake plant are creamy white, pale green, and bloom from late winter through early spring, making it a true showstopper in any garden. This perennial Sansevieria laurentii succulent is perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance addition to their garden or indoor space.  

Sansevieria is part of our clean air plant collection, which filters airborne toxins. The Laurentii snake plant is a popular plant that can be grown in both rock gardens and landscaping, as well as in decorative pots indoors. It's a versatile plant that adds beauty to outdoor spaces and brings a touch of greenery to indoor environments. 

However, because this snake plant laurentii grows slowly, large plants can be expensive. 

When and How to Water Your Variegated Snake Plant 

The Variegated Snake Plant is a drought-tolerant succulent that should be watered every 2–3 weeks during spring and summer and only once every 4–5 weeks during fall and winter, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.

From March to August, during the growing season, water your Sansevieria laurentii every 2 to 3 weeks, giving just enough water to moisten the root zone. This is when the plant is actively photosynthesizing and may absorb water more quickly, especially in warm, bright indoor conditions. Always ensure excess water drains out fully and never let the pot sit in water.

From September to February, during the dormant season, reduce watering to once every 4 to 5 weeks, or only when the soil is bone dry. The plant’s growth slows down significantly during cooler months, and its water needs decrease accordingly. Overwatering in winter can easily lead to soft, rotting roots or fungal issues.

Thanks to CAM photosynthesis, this snake plant opens its stomata at night, conserving water efficiently throughout the day. This adaptation, along with its thick, moisture-retentive leaves, means it’s better to underwater than overwater. Wrinkling or slight leaf shriveling are early signs it’s time to water, while mushy or yellowing leaves indicate excess moisture and possible root rot.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Variegated Snake Plant

If growing indoors, place your Sansevieria succulents directly in front of a west- or south-facing window, where it gets 4-6 hours of bright, indirect light.

If Sansevieria laurentii don't receive enough bright light, their dark green leaves with yellow variegated edges may grow leggy, become paler, and shorten.

So, make your succulent happy and give your variegated snake plant plenty of brighter light.

When growing outdoors, this Sansevieria laurentii prefers full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours but can also tolerate low light conditions, making it a great choice for rooms with limited natural light. Direct sunlight should be avoided because it can burn your variegated snake plant leaves.

Remember, it's important to gradually acclimate it to the outdoor environment to prevent sunburn. Start by placing it in a shaded area and gradually move it to a spot with more sunlight over a few weeks. This will help the plant adjust to the increased light levels.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Sansevieria laurentii snake plant thrives in well-drained soil and should be fertilized once a year in spring. Moisture can be a real killer, leading to root and stem rot in no time. But fear not, my fellow green thumbs! Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulents potting mix that includes organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy Sansevieria laurentii. 

When it comes to fertilizing your variegated snake plant, it only needs a small amount of fertilizer applied once a year in the spring. Succulents prefer a fertilizer with lower doses of NPK, with a maximum ratio of 5-10-5 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11. 

This plant thrives in dry, semi-tropical conditions, but it goes dormant when temperatures dip, slowing its growth significantly.

If exposed to prolonged cold or frost, especially below 50°F, the leaves may suffer scarring, mushiness, or collapse.

Even in zones where outdoor cultivation is possible, it’s best to grow them in containers so they can be easily relocated when temperatures become unfavorable.

How to Grow Variegated Snake Plant Best Indoors

To grow your Variegated Snake Plant successfully indoors, maintain a warm, stable environment with temperatures between 65°F and 75°F, which closely mimics its native tropical climate. This plant does not tolerate frost or cold drafts, so it should always be kept away from open windows in winter or air conditioning vents. High humidity can also be problematic, as it increases the risk of rot, so aim for dry, well-ventilated indoor conditions. Its upright, sword-shaped leaves not only make it a great vertical accent in tight spaces but also help purify indoor air, making it both a functional and decorative choice for homes and offices.

Wildlife - Variegated Snake Plant Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The variegated snake plant produces small, fragrant flowers that attract a variety of friendly pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These pollinators are essential for the plant's reproduction and play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity in the ecosystem.

Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

According to ASPCA, the variegated snake plant is mildly toxic to humans and pets if ingested. The entire plant contains saponins, which can cause gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, it is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for indoor decoration in homes with pets or children.

How to Propagate Your Sanseveria laurentii

The Sansevieria laurentii can be propagated through division or leaf cuttings. To propagate through division, carefully separate the plant into smaller sections with roots attached and replant them in fresh soil. For leaf cuttings, simply cut a healthy leaf into smaller sections and plant them in soil to root.

Key Takeaways

  1. The variegated snake plant stores water in its thick, upright leaves, making it extremely drought-tolerant and perfect for forgetful waterers or low-maintenance homes.
  2. Its striking vertical foliage is edged with golden-yellow margins, giving it a bold, architectural look that stands out in any modern interior.
  3. This plant improves indoor air quality by filtering toxins like formaldehyde and benzene, making it both beautiful and functional for home or office spaces.
  4. Thanks to CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis, it absorbs carbon dioxide at night, making it one of the few houseplants ideal for bedroom air purification.
  5. It’s nearly indestructible in the right pot, tolerating low light, dry air, and minimal care, yet leaf damage can occur if temperatures drop below 50°F.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Sansevieria Laurentii (snake plant laurentii) is a beautiful and resilient plant suitable for indoor spaces due to its ability to tolerate various conditions. Its upright leaves and variegated pattern add elegance to any room. It is low-maintenance, thrives in well-draining soil, and prefers bright, indirect light. Watering should be minimal to prevent overwatering. It can withstand neglect and drought periods. Sansevieria Laurentii's air-purifying qualities make it an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality.  

With the easy-to-care-for variegated snake plant - Sansevieria laurentii, you'll start to spend less time maintaining your garden and more time taking in its beauty!

Changed My Life
Format: Hardcover
The year the Green Bay Packers drafted BJ Raji I remember being extremely shocked that I weighed almost the same as him (319 was my peak). Winter of 2009 I started riding a stationary bike fairly regularly, Spring of 2010 I started bike commuting regularly and by summer of 2012 I was down 60 pounds. As I became more interested in fitness I was more interested in how the body handled different kinds of macro nutrients. I did a few random Google searches for a book on the topic and in June of 2012 I found a review of the original PHD edition which made it sound like what I wanted. I wasn't looking to change my diet, I had a lot of joint pain and was very susceptible to binge eating/drinking, but I was loosing weight so overall I was happy. I remember reading the first chapter where it explained the "gotchyas" like having to give up wheat and laughing out loud at the though of it. I was a complete carb fiend to the point where I'd been baking my own homemade artisan breads. I found the book to be a quick read, it took me only a week. I definitely went a bit cross eyed at some of the more complex biology, but overall I found it as entertaining as it was informative, and when I'd finished I thought "What the hell", I'll try it for a week or two and see what happens. My first weekend was a little rough because I went out with some friends and because bar we were at only had fried foods, I ended up drinking way too much on an empty stomach. My first attempt at baking salmon the next day was promptly thrown up, but fortunately it didn't give me a bad taste for the fish. In only a few days I started to notice how different being hungry felt. I'd always made it a point to have breakfast and not eat again until Lunch, but I usually had a few spikes of intense hunter which I had to fight past. On this diet the hunger was there but it was more of a casual suggestion. Needless to say I had such an easy time on my two week trial that I kept the diet. That summer I lost as much weight as I had the previous two combined. I feel much more even in terms of mood, my mind feels sharper, I have a nice even energy level all day. I had hoped my joint pain would clear up faster, but it has definitely gotten better as well. I'd been wanting to reread the PHD for a while, but I knew the new edition was coming out soon so I held off. I was aware of some of the changes from following the blog (which is excellent, it's such a trip to have Paul give expert answers to your questions personally), but still wanted to go through the whole thing again. The new version is a definite improvement. Like I'd mentioned some of the biology in the original edition, particularly on the different types of fats, came early and confused and discouraged me a bit. This version they hook you in with simpler explanations and do a better job of building up the biology as you go. Also after the original edition I had to do a lot of fine tuning to the diet based on questions I'd ask Paul on blog, or going back and reading other peoples questions. In this edition they do a much better job of practically spelling out things so its easier to jump in. Finally the reader results that are included in the new edition are a really neat addition. I'd read a lot of them on the blog as well, but they're so amazing and inspiring, sprinkling them into the text the way they did was a really great idea. After finishing this new edition I feel freshly excited about a diet I've been on for half a year. I also feel better about recommending this edition to friends because it reads so much easier. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to gain health, loose weight, or even just learn about how their bodies work.

I can't believe how much better I feel!
I had been eating (very) low-carb and high-protein for the better part of a decade - and I had gotten a lot of practice arrogantly dismissing suggestions (from any source) that I should change anything about my diet. It is a testimony to the insightfulness of this book that it persuaded me to change. How was I persuaded? * The Jaminets are highly educated (Ph.D.s both), but not they're not nutritionists and are not bound by any party line. * They amass a huge volume of scientific literature in support of their assertions - about 1/3 of every page is journal citations. * They write clearly, and are clearly motivated by a desire to share the keys they've discovered for better health. * Time after time, while reading, I exclaimed "so *that's* why!" - there's an overarching framework they build, and after reading it I have a much broader and deeper understanding of health and nutrition. The changes I made were: 1. Eat a modest amount (15-20%) of calories as carbs from what they call "safe starches" (rice & potatoes in my case.) 2. Eat a large (~70%) of calories from fat. In particular, I consume dramatically more butter (kerrygold!), and I've added a fair bit of coconut oil too. 3. (As a result, the amount of protein I eat has dropped somewhat.) 4. Supplementing with a mix of the vitamins they recommend. 5. Doing a 24-hour fast once a week. Results: (after 1.5 months or so.) 1. I'm no longer "brain-dead" and unable to think in the evenings after work. 2. I no longer have fruit or chocolate cravings. 3. I'm much happier, and wake up looking forward to the day. 4. I've been much more social. 5. The extra starch has not resulted in weight gain. (I always gained weight when eating carbs before.) 6. It looks like the fasting (which I've never tried before) is helping my alertness and also contributing to healthy weight loss. It took less than a week for me to notice dramatic changes. The diet guidelines are straightforward and fit on a page, but the explanatory material is priceless. The Jaminets post on an ongoing basis at their perfecthealthdiet dot com blog as well. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Best diet/health book I have ever read
Format: Kindle
For scientifically-minded laypeople, this is an excellent read. I altered my diet because of this book. Using a bit of intuition, it seems much more logical that nature attempts to achieve balance with respect to macro nutrients and vitamins/minerals. I loved Mr. Jaminet's explanation of the relationship of vitamin A,D, and K. I do have about a thousand questions for the author (Paul Jaminet), such as his lower protein recommendations (this differs greatly from a typical gym rat's recommendation of 1 gram of protein per pound of body mass). The book recommends more protein for the athlete, but not at the levels recommended elsewhere (high protein diets). I think Mr. Jaminet and others that are recommending a smaller ratio of protein to fat/carbs are ahead of the game. I find my diet in desperate need of more insoluble fiber, although this book does not treat fiber as being extremely important and advises against too much fiber. I use PGX daily fiber once per day and it had made a big difference for me. All in all, there are 3 big aspects that I would like Mr. Jaminet to weigh in on in future books or other publications. First, please expand more on repairing the health of your gut and the good bacteria that live there. What is the absolute quickest way to optimize gut flora and, subsequently, keep inflammation at a minimum? I understand Mr. Jaminet's stance on legumes, but it seems very contradictory to common sense. From the surface, not eating any legumes would raise my BS flag. Overall, if the answer is "don't eat legumes because you can get all the benefits from other foods and, therefore, better safe than sorry", then this should be considered a dubious argument (I am not saying that this is the argument in the book). To be fair, the book has much more detailed reasons to steer clear of legumes, but I am still a little on the fence about it. Lastly, PHD refers to the Shangri-la diet and using MCT or Coconut oil to suppress appetite, but I would LOVE a detailed scientific explanation of what the body's "setpoint" really is. From my clinical trials (on myself!), this is a huge factor. My body seems to want to be at a set weight and even body fat percentage and it takes quite a bit of effort to lower or raise that setpoint. This applies to the PHD because assertions are made with respect to the body's need for a certain quantity of protein and carbs. How does the setpoint interact with those processes? PROS: * Clearly, Mr. Jaminet or his editors took a technical writing course. This book is written using the active voice and uses a conversational tone. Extremely easy to read! It is simple, direct, clear, and concise. CONS: * This book cites clinical studies as evidence to buttress certain assertions. This is not a problem if you factor in what the study was trying to measure and external variables that would greatly affect the conclusions. Here is an example of clinical studies that are almost worthless (at least from drawing a single conclusion): Patient group A ate such and such and patient group B ate such and such over a 20 year period. The death rate was 11% higher in patient group A, therefore eating what they ate "may" have been the cause of the higher death rate. Drawing conclusions from such a study is really difficult, I think. I am no scientist, but even I can see that these sorts of studies should be used as a starting point for more investigation and not as the final word on a subject.

Paleo Perfected - With the Science to Back It Up!
Format: Hardcover
After experimenting with other versions of the paleolithic-based diet, I was happy to finally come upon Paul and Shou-Ching's book, The Perfect Health Diet. It's a scholarly treatment of a complex subject, but presented in a way that's easy to follow and understand. It combines the best parts of old-time wisdom with cutting edge science to lay out a lifestyle and an approach to health that treats the body holistically. The authors systematically lay out the scientific and evolutionary basis for their approach to health. The fact that they both suffered from serious medical conditions - which were cured by taking this new approach - lends a great deal of sincerity to the writing. In a logical, orderly fashion the book walks through the basis for the diet, then tackles each of the major energy sources (proteins, carbohydrates and fats). Once that groundwork is laid, they address the hidden toxins that are present in most of the foods that comprise the Standard American Diet (SAD - a rather appropriate acronym) and help the reader understand HOW the foods contribute to poor health. Throughout the book, the authors use simple but effective "call out" boxes to highlight some key science behind the diet. They also sprinkle in just the right amount of reader testimonials to highlight how their lives were changed by following the Perfect Health Diet. Those examples are placed in just the right spots so the reader can see how the concept being discussed relates to real people in the real world. The inclusion of a Takeaway at the end of each chapter helps tie all the concepts together perfectly. My only complaint is that they use the word "diet" in the title. While they use it in the academic sense (i.e., the foods that you habitually eat to provide sustenance), too many people only think of "diet" as a restriction in your food intake to promote weight loss. I prefer to think of the authors' book as a "lifestyle", rather than simply a prescription for changing your food intake. That view is reinforced by the holistic treatment of the impacts of circadian rhythm disruption on health - a fascinating chapter that probably could have as much impact on your overall health as your choice of food! I think it's very telling that only a short chapter is actually devoted to the discussion of weight loss -- because it is based upon all of the other principles that have already been outlined. The discussion in the weight loss chapter on the scientific origins of obesity is fascinating and sobering at the same time. Overall, the Jaminets have done a fabulous job of scouring the scientific literature and tying together some popular concepts (the whole Paleo movement continues to gain steam in mainstream society) with a solid scientific underpinning that will go a LONG way toward helping people understand not just WHAT to eat (or not eat) but also WHY. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand how their body functions and how the food you eat impacts your health and longevity. It is well-written, thorough and very convincing!

Really enjoyed this book and found it helpful
Format: Kindle
The first night after starting this diet I found myself eating a juicy half pound hamburger without the bread, a sweet potato with butter, a small salad with fresh lemons squeezed on top and some sparkling water. Life could be a lot worse!!!! This book was written by 2 Harvard educated scientists. It is thoroughly researched and made a ton of sense to me. I've dieted a lot in my life. I always lost weight and always gained it back. That's a pretty frustrating way to live. The weight gain and loss roller coaster is awful. Over the last 20 years I've tried Atkins, Paleo Diet, Zone Diet, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, South Beach Diet, Mediterranean Diet, Blood type Diet etc etc etc....They all work and they all have flaws which ultimately caused me to stray from them for one reason or another. As an example Nutrisystem is convenient but I don't want to eat that food forever. Atkins and Paleo cut out major food groups PERMANENTLY! They are way too extreme for me. Zone Diet was too much work. Weight watchers with the points was too time consuming. South Beach Diet was a nice fad but I got tired of that also. Anyway, without dragging on too much longer I want to say that the best part of the Perfect Health Diet is its SIMPLICITY! This way of eating doesn't require much thought, planning, or effort. The authors give you a list of foods to eat without asking you to eliminate carbs, fatty foods, meat or dairy. I was taught what carbs to eat and avoid and in what portions. I learned what fatty foods to eat and how often to eat them. I learned about about protein and was taught the right amounts of protein to eat. Most importantly i never feel hungry on the Perfect Health Diet! This diet WILL reduce your food cravings. You are fed well. You eat a lot of fatty foods and still lose weight. You can have dairy in the form of yogurt. You can have starches. You eat fruits and veggies along with lots of eggs, meat, and some fish. Basically you feel healthy because your body gets everything it NEEDS to make you feel GOOD! This diet is the only one I've tried that eliminates food cravings and hunger. I'd give this book 10 stars if I could
