Straight lines are underrated in a plant. The Snake Plant is a cluster of upright blades, banded in dark and mid green and finished with a yellow edge, and it reads as much like a piece of sculpture as a houseplant.

Snake plant, mother-in-law's tongue, Sansevieria, Saint George's sword and Dracaena trifasciata all name the same plant. The living version is famously hardy, so the case for the faux one comes down to placement: a windowless ensuite, a dark hallway shelf, a north facing office, or a rental you leave for weeks at a time. It also sits cleanly beside the rounder shapes in our Faux Plants edit.

The black nursery pot is 16cm across, so a straight-sided cover pot from our Planters & Pots range carries the vertical line all the way down. It makes a well judged desk or office gift, suits someone who travels often, and is a safe choice when you are not sure of a person's taste.

Why You'll Love It

  • Upright blades with dark green banding and a yellow edge, true to the living plant
  • A clean vertical shape that works as an object as much as a plant
  • 49cm tall, right for a desk, a bookshelf, a basin edge or a windowsill
  • No soil, saucer or watering, so it can go where a living plant cannot
  • An easy, considered gift for a new office or a frequent traveller

Product Details

  • Height: 49cm
  • Pot: black plastic nursery pot, 16cm diameter, 13cm high
  • Colour: green blades with dark banding and yellow edges
  • Type: artificial sansevieria
  • Use: indoor
  • Care: fan the blades slightly on arrival, then dust with a soft dry cloth

Finding Its Spot

  • Beside a basin or on a bathroom shelf, where a pot of soil would be a nuisance
  • On a desk or bookshelf, where the vertical breaks up rows of horizontal lines
  • In a straight-sided or softly rounded cover pot in a warm neutral glaze
  • Paired with one round or trailing plant so the two silhouettes contrast

Pairs beautifully with the Milan Sculptural Planter in Parchment in Large, whose 17.5cm opening takes its nursery pot neatly.

FAQs

Do the blades stay upright?
Yes. The blades hold their upright shape, so it will not lean or flop the way an older living plant can. Fan them slightly on arrival so they do not sit in one flat plane.

Where does it work best?
Anywhere with a hard edge that needs a vertical: beside a basin, on a bookshelf, on a desk, or on a bedroom windowsill where you would rather not have soil.

Will it fit a standard planter?
The nursery pot is 16cm across, so it drops into most cover pots with an internal diameter of 17cm or more.

In Short

The Snake Plant, 49cm Potted Faux Sansevieria is an artificial snake plant, also known as mother-in-law's tongue or Dracaena trifasciata, with upright green blades banded in dark green and edged in yellow, in a 16cm black nursery pot. It needs no soil or watering and suits bathrooms, desks and shelves, as well as office and housewarming gifts.
