Sansevieria ‘Moonshine’ - Moonshine Snake Plant

Allow the growing medium to dry thoroughly between waterings, then water well and let all excess water drain freely. ‘Moonshine’ stores moisture in its thick leaves and rhizomes, so overwatering is a much greater risk than occasionally leaving it dry. Water considerably less during cooler, darker months.

Bright, indirect light is ideal for ‘Moonshine’ and helps encourage its distinctive pale silver-green colouring. It can tolerate lower-light positions, although growth will be slower and new foliage may develop a deeper green appearance. Avoid suddenly placing it in strong direct sunlight without acclimatising it first.

Average household humidity is ideal. ‘Moonshine’ doesn't require high humidity and is generally happiest in normal indoor conditions with good airflow. Avoid prolonged cold, damp conditions.

Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during spring and summer, following the manufacturer's instructions. Snake Plants aren't particularly hungry, so avoid heavy feeding. Reduce or stop feeding during autumn and winter when growth slows.

‘Moonshine’ is relatively slow-growing and generally doesn't mind being slightly snug in its pot. Repot when noticeably root-bound, moving up only slightly in pot size and using a very free-draining growing mix. New shoots emerge from underground rhizomes and gradually form a fuller clump around the parent plant.

Sansevieria ‘Moonshine’ is not considered pet safe. It contains compounds that can cause gastrointestinal upset if eaten, so keep it away from cats, dogs and other curious plant nibblers. If you suspect your pet has eaten part of the plant, contact your vet for advice.
