Sansevieria Moonshine

Sansevieria Moonshine: Overview

Sansevieria Moonshine (Sansevieria trifasciata 'Moonshine') is a compact, shorter Snake Plant variety with sage green, sword-shaped leaves. This graceful indoor plant is also known as Sansevieria Moonlight or Silver Snake Plant because of its leaves' glowing, pale color. The Moonshine Snake plant is part of the Asparagaceae family and comes from West Africa, where it grows natively in tropical forests from Nigeria to Congo.

The Moonlight Snake plant is suitable for growing outdoors in hardiness zones 9-12, as long as the temperatures are above 45°F. It’s a relatively small plant, reaching about 2 ft. in height and living for over 25 years, given proper care. Very easy to care for and adaptable, the Moonshine Sansevieria grows best in medium light but can also tolerate low-light conditions. Pet owners should know that all snake plants are toxic to cats and dogs.

Because of its easy-care nature, the Snake plant Moonshine is associated with resilience and strength. It is also believed to bring good luck and prosperity to your home.

Several other stunning Sansevieria varieties are available at Lively Root, including the slender Sansevieria Fernwood and the sunny, yellow-edged Variegated Sansevieria Laurentii.

Moonshine Snake Plant: Care Guide

Sansevieria Moonlight is an excellent choice for any home or office. Its silvery foliage adds a modern look. Moreover, snake plant care is easy, making it perfect for beginners.

Watering and Humidity

Snake plants are succulents that don’t need frequent watering as they store water in their leaves. Water your sansevieria well and let the soil dry thoroughly before repeated watering. While Sansevieria Moonshine can tolerate some humidity, it generally prefers dry conditions.

Light and Temperature

Your Moonlight Sansevieria will thrive in medium indirect light. However, one of the benefits of a Snake Plant is its adaptability to various growing conditions, and it will adapt to brighter or lower light. Please keep it away from direct sun rays that can leave unsightly burns on its leaves.

Sansevierias can grow in temperatures ranging from 55 to 85, but they’re happiest and grow better in warmer environments. If you grow it on the porch, bring it indoors when night temperatures drop below 45°F.

Soil and Repotting

Well-draining soil is vital for good Sansevieria Moonshine care, as these plants are susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Potting mix for cacti and succulents with added perlite to improve drainage works best.

While Snake plants don’t mind being slightly rootbound, repot when you see roots growing out of the drainage holes. Water the plant an hour before transplanting it into a 2-inch larger pot.

Feeding and Propagation

Snake plants don’t require much feeding. Fertilize your plant twice yearly (in spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

If you want to propagate your snake plant, you can do so by division or from leaf cuttings. Provide supports to keep each leaf upright and plant each cutting in a pot filled with well-draining soil.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

Prune your snake plant by removing dead or damaged leaves close to the base. Wipe the leaves on both sides with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust.

If you notice brown spots on your Sansevieria Moonshine’s leaves, it may be due to exposure to direct sunlight or dry conditions. Wrinkled leaves are another common issue with your Sanseveria, due to underwatering, while soft, yellow leaves indicate overwatering. Also, although Snake plants aren’t typically prone to pest issues, check your plant’s leaves to detect pests like mealybugs or spider mites.

    So pretty, and Low Maintenance!

    I was gifted this plant about 8 months ago, it is doing so well. I keep it in a low light window at my office, water maybe once or twice a month. It is now growing its first baby! I've had people ask me about this plant and I love to share where I bought it from.
