How to Care for Your Snake Plant 'Gold Flame'

Place your Gold Flame in bright, filtered light to maintain its vivid yellow variegation. While it will tolerate low-light conditions, its signature colors are most pronounced in medium to bright environments. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix and water thoroughly only once the soil is completely dry — this plant is built to handle drought.

Avoid overwatering, which is the most common cause of issues with sansevierias. The Gold Flame thrives in average home humidity and temperature, and it rarely needs repotting. Rotate occasionally to keep growth upright and even.

This low-fuss plant also filters airborne toxins, making it as functional as it is beautiful.
