Notes
'Black Coral' snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata 'Black Coral') is a succulent for containers, specimen use, and indoor accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Its skinny, flat leaves are dark green and give it a muted, elegant look. It stands upright and is toxic to dogs and cats, so keep it out of their reach.
Pairs well with Jade pothos, Dumb cane, and Giant chain fern.
