Snake Plant 'Emerald Star'

The Snake Plant 'Emerald Star' is a brilliant choice for anyone looking to bring a lush, earthy feel indoors without the hassle of a high-maintenance houseplant. You will love how its deep green, perfectly formed rosettes add a touch of modern elegance to any room while working quietly to filter and purify your indoor air. Because this compact "bird's nest" variety tops out at just 8 to 12 inches tall, it is the perfect size to tuck onto a crowded office desk, a cozy bedside table, or a narrow bathroom shelf. It is wonderfully forgiving when it comes to indoor lighting, flourishing in bright, indirect sunlight but remaining perfectly happy in those low-light hallways where other plants simply struggle to survive. Please keep in mind, however, that like all Snake Plants, the 'Emerald Star' is mildly toxic if ingested; you will want to place it on a sturdy stand or high shelf out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

Caring for your 'Emerald Star' requires almost zero effort once you learn the simple secret to indoor succulents: less is always more. Because these desert natives store water in their thick, fleshy leaves, you must wait until the potting soil is completely dry from top to bottom—usually taking two to three weeks—before giving it a slow, thorough watering. This careful neglect prevents root rot, which is the absolute quickest way to lose an indoor plant. When you pot it, be sure to use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix so the roots can breathe easily between waterings. Finally, take a soft, damp cloth once a month to gently wipe the household dust from those gorgeous dark green leaves; this allows the plant to photosynthesize effectively and keeps your indoor garden looking vibrant and healthy.
