Meet 'Dark Lady'—the gothic chic of the Snake Plant family. With her nearly black, deep-green rosettes and sleek, pointed leaves, she is the "indestructible" minimalist that adds a moody, sophisticated edge to any room.

  • The Formal Name: Sansevieria (Dracaena) 'Dark Lady'
  • The Nickname: Black Star Snake Plant
  • Roots: A compact cultivar of the hardy West African species.
  • Natural Vibe: Adapted to the dry, rocky soils and harsh sun of the savannah.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Truly versatile. She’ll live in a dark corner but thrives and stays "darkest" in bright, indirect light.
  • Best Room: Any room! She’s the perfect "set-and-forget" plant for bedrooms or low-light offices.
  • Snacks: Rarely needs food—a half-strength fertiliser once or twice a year is plenty.
  • Tropical Feels: Unfazed by dry air. She handles low-humidity homes with total ease.
  • Cosy Factor: Prefers warmth (15–27°C) but is tough enough to handle occasional dips.
  • Thirst: Very low! Allow the soil to dry out 100% before watering. Overwatering is the only way to hurt her.
  • Safety First: Toxic – can cause tummy upset; keep away from nibbling pets.
  • The Bedding: A gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix is a must.
  • Family Tree: Easily propagated by dividing the pups (offshoots) that grow from her base.
  • Space Needs: A dwarf variety that stays compact, usually under 30 cm tall.
  • Speed: Slow and steady. She won't outgrow her spot on your shelf any time soon.
  • Uninvited Guests: Nearly pest-proof, but watch for mealybugs in the tight center of the rosette.
  • Moving Day: She loves being root-bound; only repot every 3–5 years when the pot starts to bulge.
  • Haircut: Wipe her sleek leaves with a damp cloth to keep them looking dark and glossy.
  • Fresh Air: A champion air purifier, specifically known for releasing oxygen at night.
  • Plant Lore: She is a "bird's nest" type Sansevieria, forming a tight, beautiful spiral as she grows!
