Hide Plant Size InfoSansevieria trifasciata 'Black Gold'
Mother-In-Law's Tongue
Seriously though, this plant will thrive in an extremely wide variety of conditions, and so long as it's got access to at least some natural light & occasional watering sessions, a Sansevieria plant will thrive. In an enclosure, we recommend planting it where it'll have plenty of upward room to grow, and ensuring it's planted deep enough to prevent the plant tipping over. Within a few weeks (in ideal conditions), the plant will spread it's roots and do a great job of supporting itself even with a Gecko or Frog climbing on it. It's leaves will widen with age, starting just an inch or two across, and eventually growing to 4in or so across in some vivarium environments. Pruning these slow-growing plants is as simple as giving them a slice towards the top of each leaf. By following the natural shape of the plant, the trimmed end won't look especially out-of-place. The pictured plants are growing in 3in pots.
