- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
We love this eye-catching succulent for its looks and its ability to clean the air! There are about 70 varieties of Sansevieria, known as ‘snake plants’ because of the shape of their leaves. Native to tropical West Africa from Nigeria east to the Congo. It is most commonly known as the snake plant, mother-in-law's tongue, Saint George's sword and viper's bowstring hemp, among other names.
Sansevieria Trifasciata is a large houseplant known for its ability to purify the air. It is very good at absorbing toxins such as nitrogen oxides and improving indoor air quality.
It is also a very easy-care houseplant, requiring little maintenance and it’s happy to sit in a spot with either bright light or low light. It has long, stiff, vertical leaves and is a stylish plant with a sculptural look.
Sansevieria Trifasciata, or snake plants, were named ‘Office plant of the year’ in 2020 by a panel of judges focusing on plants for mental health, so if you’re looking for something to brighten up your home office, make you feel good and purify the air - and you’re wondering where to buy your snake plant - then you need look no further!
If someone is lucky enough to be receiving this houseplant as a gift, we can enclose a free, handwritten card with the delivery. We won’t include any paperwork either!

Happy Houseplants delivers live houseplants across the UK with fast, carbon-neutral tracked service.
At Happy Houseplants, we ship all live plants via DPD’s 24-hour tracked carbon-neutral service. Delivery usually takes 7–10 working days, but in most cases your plants will arrive much sooner. You can read more about delivery here.
We post to most of the UK, but we’re unable to deliver to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands because of higher shipping costs.
When we list a plant’s height, it always includes the grow pot, stem, foliage and living root system — not just what you see above the soil. Because every plant is unique, yours may arrive a little smaller or larger than the size listed.
