Variant

Sansevieria Canary, aka Sansevieria trifasciata 'Canary', also known as the Canary Snake Plant, is a distinctive and highly decorative variety of the commonly known Snake Plant. It is celebrated for its striking, vibrant yellow and green variegated leaves that stand upright, adding a splash of colour and texture to any indoor space. This particular cultivar is noted for its shorter and broader leaves compared to other Sansevieria species, making it a compact and appealing choice for areas with limited space. Like other Snake Plants, 'Canary' is renowned for its air-purifying qualities, capable of filtering out toxins from the air and improving indoor air quality.

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

Pro tips

Sansevieria Canary doesn't require frequent repotting, as it prefers to be slightly root-bound. Ensure proper drainage and use well-draining soil to prevent root rot. To maintain the plant's health and appearance, remove any dead or yellowing leaves as needed. Be cautious when handling the leaves, as they can be sharp. Fertilize with a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer at half-strength once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant's growth naturally slows. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth occasionally to remove dust.

Care Guide

How to take care of Sansevieria Canary

Sun: Indirect

Sansevieria Canary should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Low

Sansevieria Canary will do well in low light, but will grow faster with brighter light. A low light plant can pretty much survive anyplace inside your home as long as you have a window in the room. Remember, low light does not mean no light and plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When fully dry

Sansevieria Canary likes the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. This can take up to 4 weeks in an average home environment but it will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. For them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months.

Humidity: Any

Sansevieria Canary can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

Pet Caution

Sansevieria Canary is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.
