{"product_id":"birds-nest-snake-plant-sansevieria-trifasciata-hahnii","title":"Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Green Hahnii’ – Green Bird’s Nest Snake Plant","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis easygoing houseplant is the perfect addition for basic greenery. Low-maintenance and tolerant of a variety of light levels, snake plants are the ultimate low-bother, no-fuss houseplant. This cultivar is a solid forest green, with a highlight of paler green towards the root and where it's growing. Each leaf grows directly from the soil, reaching for the sky and growing together in a tight group. The plant will keep adding more leaves as long as it has space in the pot, and as it ages will grow slightly bigger - but not too quickly, another factor which makes it so easygoing and unfussy. If you want a touch of green, and minimal effort, the snake plant is the big way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eSansevieria trifasciata\u003c\/em\u003e ‘Green Hahnii’ (triple-banded San Severo plant, cultivar: green Hahn's)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSynonyms: \u003cem\u003eDracaena trifasciata\u003c\/em\u003e (accepted scientific name)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis plant has changed genus; it's now part of the \u003cem\u003eDracaena\u003c\/em\u003e Genus, and its scientific name is \u003cem\u003eDracaena trifasciata\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name(s)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSnake Plant, Bird's Nest Snake Plant, Bird's Nest, Mother-in-Law's Tongue, Devil's Tongue, Snake Tongue, St. George's Sword\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNative to Central and West Africa, this plant grows naturally in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Gabon, Tanzania and the DRC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSnake plants are hugely flexible with lighting, as the positioning of their leaves allows them to maximise any light.

You will need to water more in a bright location, and the plant will probably grow better too; in a dimmer location, water less and expect slower growth! In lower light you may also see less variegation, especially on newer growth, so if you want to keep all that lovely colour it may need moving to a slightly brighter spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDid You Know?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSnake Plants are often celebrated as a good luck symbol, and are believed to be good for Feng Shui, warding off negative energy and improving harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sprouts of Bristol","offers":[{"title":"6cm","offer_id":43520181960957,"sku":"7109454377071","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"12cm","offer_id":42314443620605,"sku":"9109454377071","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/2774\/3905\/files\/sansevieria-trifasciata-green-hahnii-green-birds-nest-snake-plant-964642.jpg?v=1737633724","url":"https:\/\/sproutsofbristol.pro\/products\/birds-nest-snake-plant-sansevieria-trifasciata-hahnii","provider":"Sprouts of Bristol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
