Silver-colored foliage is trending now, and the Silver Princess snake plant is a must-have addition to any collection. Its elegantly slender leaves in pale shades of silvery green are banded with deep green. The fine foliage texture and vibrant coloring make Silver Princess an excellent complement to deeper-colored tropical or flowering plants indoors. This cultivated hybrid is just as easygoing as any other Dracaena (formerly known as Sansevieria).
Best Locations For Growing Silver Princess Snake Plant
The clumping, upright growth habit of Silver Princess makes it an ideal floor plant for nearly any corner of the home. Its superpower lies in its ability to tolerate all light levels; whether in natural light or not, Silver Princess continues to produce new leaves year-round. This resilience makes it perfect for offices, dorms, or apartments with limited natural light. However, keep curious pets and children away, as the leaves contain a toxic sap that can cause skin irritation and digestive issues.
Silver Princess Snake Plant Sunlight Requirements
All light levels are suitable for Silver Princess. Brighter conditions will enhance the silver coloring and the size of the leaves. To protect the plant from harsh midday light, position it in an east or west-facing window or at least three feet away from a south-facing window. Plants in medium to low light will require less frequent watering than those in brighter settings.
Silver Princess Snake Plant Care
Snake plants thrive in well-drained soil that is not overly rich in nutrients. An all-purpose potting mix combined with perlite or horticultural grit at a 1:1 ratio promotes adequate air circulation around the roots while retaining moisture between waterings.
Pruning is rarely necessary; older leaves may yellow, brown, and die back as the plant matures. Remove these faded leaves close to the soil level as needed. Repot Silver Princess only when roots begin to emerge from the bottom and possibly the top of the pot, as snake plants tolerate being moderately pot-bound.
Watering Silver Princess Snake Plant
Allow snake plants to dry out more than other plants between waterings. The primary enemy of snake plants is overwatering, as their roots are not designed to sit in water for extended periods. Check for watering needs every 7-10 days throughout the year. Humidity levels are not a concern when cultivating snake plants.
Feeding Silver Princess Snake Plant
Fertilize once or twice a year if the colors of your snake plant appear faded or lackluster. An all-purpose houseplant food with a balanced NPK ratio is ideal. Take care to avoid getting liquid fertilizer on the leaves, as it can cause unsightly spotting or burns.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
