Notes
'Laurentii' snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata 'Laurentii') is a succulent for containers, specimen planting, and indoor spaces. 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 full sun to full shade and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. The upright leaves are dark green with yellow margins, and they stay evergreen. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Keep it away from dogs and cats, since it is toxic to both.
Pairs well with Ponytail palm, Vittatum spider plant, and Mondo grass.
