Sansevieria Trifasciata Golden Flame – Snake Plant

Recognisable by its bright ornate arrangement, the Sansevieria Golden Flame is one of the more decorative snake plants. Drawing its name from the structure of sabre-like leaves lancing out from a central rosette, this proud plant is ablaze with a golden-yellow centre, contrasted against the outer green and silver tiger-striped variegation.

Please note: some scarring may occur on the leaves.

Horty Hints

Hello, sunshine! Give your Golden Flame plenty of bright, indirect light to ensure it retains its stunning golden yellow glow.

Easy does it! Hold off watering your Golden Flame until the soil is completely dry as excess moisture can lead to root rot.

Don’t worry if your Golden Flame looks to be outgrowing its pot. This plant enjoys being root-bound.
