Notes
'Black Star' snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata 'Black Star') is a houseplant for containers, specimen use, and 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 or part shade and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It forms an evergreen clump 12 to 18 inches tall and wide. It tolerates drought, so it suits low care spaces.
Pairs well with Natal lily, Jessenia pothos, and Bamboo palm.
