Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Black Coral’ · Native to tropical West Africa
A bold, upright snake plant with deep green, sword-like leaves banded in wavy silver-gray. Nearly indestructible, air-purifying, and happy to be left alone, it’s one of the easiest statement plants you can grow — and a great bedroom pick.
Available in 6 inchCare
Light
Very hardy and adaptable. It grows fastest in bright conditions but does well in moderate, filtered, or even fluorescent light — perfect for offices.
Water
Water only when the soil is dry, then water deeply until it drains. Be careful not to overwater — this is the most common way to lose a snake plant.
Soil & Feeding
Use a sandy, well-draining mix. Fertilizing isn’t necessary, but a light feed once or twice in spring and summer speeds growth. Slow-growing, so no pruning needed.

Plant Bio
Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Black Coral’ · Snake Plant, Mother-in-law’s Tongue
Black Coral is a selection of the classic snake plant, native to the dry, rocky regions of tropical West Africa. Built for tough conditions, it stores water in its thick, upright leaves and shrugs off drought, low light, and general neglect — the qualities that make snake plants some of the most popular houseplants in the world.
‘Black Coral’ stands out for its especially dark, deep-green leaves marked with wavy horizontal bands of silvery gray. The leaves grow stiffly upright in a bold, architectural rosette, giving it a sleek, modern presence in any room.
It thrives on benign neglect: bright light speeds growth, but it tolerates shade and even fluorescent office light. Water only when the soil is fully dry, use a sandy, fast-draining mix, and resist the urge to overwater — soggy roots are its only real enemy.
It’s also a favorite bedroom plant, known for continuing to release oxygen at night and for helping filter indoor air.
What makes Black Coral distinctive?
- Darker, deeper-green leaves than a standard snake plant.
- Wavy silver-gray banding for a bold, graphic look.
- Exceptionally drought- and low-light tolerant.
- Air-purifying and known to release oxygen at night.
Note: Snake plants are toxic if ingested — keep away from pets and children. Can be invasive outdoors; check local restrictions. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
