-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Small or medium amphibians and retiles, as well as some larger reptiles and snakes. Frogs love to hide inside the leaf clumps!

Bio Dude Substrates: Terra Flora, Terra Fauna, Terra Firma and some Terra Aranea. Can be used in some Terra Sahara enclosures. 

Humidity & Misting: 40%-90% preferred. It can tolerate less than 40% as long as it is periodically watered. Allow soil to dry out between waterings. 

Mature Plant Size & Root System: This is a shorter type of Sansevieria. Root system will burrow deep for anchorage but is not invasive, and can spread via underground rhizomes.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: High temperature tolerance. This dark-leaved sansevieria is GREAT for low light setups, but can also take high light in certain circumstances.

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-toxic if consumed, though these are typically used for ornamental not edible purposes.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" potted sansevieria plant is shipped in the pot wrapped in paper.
