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.

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.

Displeasure And Distance
The movie 'Point Blank' is like staring at a visual of Alcatraz prison from the opposite shore. Meaning accumulates over landmarks when we are suspicious about the details. On such a sound the channel of moving water has a stationary dock. A metal walkway connector bridge glows in unnatural radiances; the sun seems set on it, at dusk. These sea shore implements, at Alcatraz or at another bay denote civility and schedules of operation. When money and it's acquisition exist in our brains as enticements the places become spectrums with loose enthusiasms and burnished red-glows. Walker(Lee Marvin) the anti-hero of the movie 'Point Blank' is a tall, laconic, dark-suited figure. Walker's parted white hair gets swept up in the wind, unstraightened, but his bushy eyebrows are solid supports of displeasure and distance. 'Point Blank' directed by John Boorman is a 1967 classic crime film and is the story of a solo struggle-Walker's-to reconnect and recover the money that was stolen from him by his ex-partner Mal Reese(John Vernon). Walker importunes abandoned places, like an Alcatraz prison cell with questions: "How did it happen?" He is ruminating over incidents that are seen in flashback entries, but these brief remonstrance are also plot points on a scheme of surreal adventuring. Lynne(Sharon Acker), Walker's wife, has reproachments about herself, her 'past', but the enviable story is told. Lynne's monotonous sentiments recall a walk on the pier in the rain, with herself and Walker in mild drunkeness. Lynne's voice is synthesized to a soft, dreamy intercession; another vision from Walker's life, also an evocative impression of a stoic wanderer's accentuated provocateur encounters. In his film direction Boorman takes the novel "The Hunter" written by Donald Westlake and gives weight to a story about the cavorting of a slick, popular, caper anti-hero named Parker (From "The Hunter" , also other serial books written by Hunter under pseudonyms like Richard Stark). This story is recreated by Boorman for Parker of the novel and his hyperbolic lurid situations. 'Point Blank' invests visuals with sensual revelations of mystery. The breaths of relaxed reflection give toxicity to moods and the imagination has righteous experience of titillation. The viewer is invited to understand the whisperings of breezes brushing against one another at random convexes-these are soft exposing indescrepancies. At a reunion, another recounting of Walker being hailed over by Mal Reese is one twist. At another rally, in a room in San Francisco, that is similar, Walker warns his target bluntly: "If you don't, I'll kill you." There is an abrupt appearance, also in a semi-populated venue, of assistance made towards Walker. This inviting frenemy says: "If you're looking for Carter, I may be able to help you." This is Yost played by Keenan Wyn. The themes of thrifty fantasy contrive to bounce off Walker. In sunlit rooms and concrete runs ambush attacks set by Walker realize glib confrontations. One such scene involves Brewster(Carroll O'Connor) in an amorous exchange with Walker that suggests that the veritable energies of excitement between Walker and Brewster were procured and transcribed for 'Point Blank' from other products of fictitious dealings. 'Point Blank' co-stars Angie Dickinson as Chris and Lloyd Bochner as Frederick Carter.

Dated, but....
Compared to the novel on which it is based, this movie is a complete letdown, so fans of the Parker series of novels who are drawn to this book may want to think twice about watching the film if they are looking for a faithful adaptation of the first Parker novel. That being said, it was not the intention of the director John Boorman to adapt Richard Stark's excellent novel, "the Hunter" to film, but rather to create an entirely new piece of fiction from the skeleton of the original story, so one most try to judge the movie on its own merits, which is difficult to do. As in other reviews, I must commend the directing. The style of the film is way ahead of it's time, with stark visuals, stylized fight scenes, and prolonged moments of silence. I love the long Walk lee Marvin takes thru the a multi-colored corridor where his footsteps drown out all other sound. Marvin's performance is also very strong, and he shows himself to have been an actor who took chances with his image and, in this case, used his clout to make a movie which otherwise would not have been so memorable. In the end, one must ask the question "Why?" Why not faithfully adapt "The Hunter" into film? It certainly would not have stifled the film's creativity, and nothing in the movie's script was any better than what was in the book. There is also the annoying occurrence of changing the protagonists' name from Parker to something else; in this case, Walker. This trend continued in another six film adaptations of the Parker novels, the last of which was 1999's Payback, starring Mel Gibson as Porter.

A stark, brutish "Petulia" with a pistol in its pocket
It's about time this movie got released on DVD. It's odd that a film could spawn a remake ("Payback"), a glib nod ("Grosse Pointe Blank") and countless homages ("The Limey," among others) and still be as underseen as "Point Blank." The lack of a disc certainly didn't help its low profile, but of course this is a challenging, idiosyncratic movie, even three decades later. The plot is simple -- a crook is betrayed by his wife and partner and spends the rest of the movie trying to get what he's owed -- but the editing and narrative structure is unusual. What in the world did audiences possibly make of this back when it was first released? It's a remarkable film, as startling and innovative as Richard Lester's "Petulia," although admittedly it's thematically much less complex. This edition is excellent, too. Great sound, great picture and a fantastic commentary by director John Boorman and big-time "Point" fan Steven Soderbergh, who laughingly admits to Boorman that he's ripped this movie off more than a few times. Their chat is more technical than gossipy and deals heavily with the editing, the production (the script was only 70 pages long), the studio's concerns about the picture, the actors, violence, surrealism (is it all a dream?) and Boorman's elaborate use of color (the tones of clothing and sets intensify over the course of the film). I've gotten a lot of good DVD's this year but in terms of content, presentation and extas, this is one of the best.

One of Marvins better offerings
Like the Killers before marvin was almost destined to play the part of Walker in this fast moving gut wrenching but always realistic thriller brilliantly collaborated by Marvin and Boorman who had no peer in this type of film.For those unenlightened souls who downplay Marvins career this was the one that to my mind surpassed most of his prior efforts with the exception of the Killers which was above par in all respects.Marvin was ahead of the pack in the 60s playing this type of hard nosed no nonsense gangster type, no other actor came close and type casted him to some extent in this type of role which unlike may actors became a positive in his career. Just to show his brilliance as an actor he gave us later comedy roles which produced more acting accolades than that material for which he was better known namely what we see in Point Blank.He carries the whole movie as did all the great actors of that era and many since which in itself is the hallmark of greatness. Marvin was a man who so perfectly personified the parts he was playing that often other actors looked wooden in comparison.He was one of the rare individuals who could take a small co starring role and end up being the star of the movie, no mean feat when you were up against the best in the business at that time and there were plenty in the 60 and 70s.To my mind Point Blank will always be a MARVIN film and this is not to downplay other good workmanlike performances in the film but it will always rank highly in Marvins body of work which is a cut above his contemporaries in the roles for which he was known and appreciated.As for the film it played out in fairly predictable fashion until the final scenes under the golden gate brige which gave a nice twist and left the viewer unsure whether Walker did in fact take his money or simply leave the scene of the set up empty handed. The obvious answer is that he waited till the coast was clear and took his money. It is hard to accept that he did otherwise.In retrospect a movie that stands up 40 odd years later and is just as watchable as it was in 67. No mean feat.

A forerunner to Dirty Harry and Lee Marvin shining...
If you liked "The Getaway" or "Dirty Harry", then meet their forerunner. "Point Blank" is explosive, fast-paced, and still the acting is there. Good acting that is. Lee Marvin is at his best. Angie Dickinson. in her strong performance, is as beautiful as ever. Keenan Wynn and Carroll O'Connor play their parts to the hilt and it truly shows. John Vernon (who was The Mayor in "Dirty Harry") plays a slimy type with diligence and very believable. Add the killing pace of the entire picture, and you have a hot item, as sharp and cutting as "Film Noir" can be. Yes, because this is still a "Film Noir", despite the fact that it was filmed in Color and in the mid-sixties. John Boorman ("Hell in the Pacific", "Deliverance" and "The Emerald Forest"), skillfully "color coded" the entire movie, bringing it from absolute colors at the beginning, to more red-tinted ones towards the end. The only difference from a true "Film Noir" is its fast-paced storyline, that would lead us to movies as I have mentioned above. Marvin's minimalistic acting, but forceful presence, is enough to fill every frame of the movie with tension, action and complete mayhem. Compare him in "The Dirty Dozen" and "The Big Red One" and you will see what I mean. A big plus was the release on DVD. An excellent transfer with a sharp picture resolution, a clearcut sound, make it a very enticing experience to watch it at home. This is not just a Highly Recommended title. It is simply a Must!
