Sansevieria kirkii 🌿
With its narrow, dagger-shaped leaves patterned in deep green tones and edged in wavy brown, Sansevieria kirkii is as rugged as it is beautiful. Its smooth, architectural foliage can reach up to a metre in length, making it a striking statement plant for any space.

Closely related to the classic Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata), kirkii shares all the same virtues: adaptable, air-purifying, and almost impossible to kill.

Plant Care
  • Light: Bright light with some direct sun, introduced gradually.
  • Watering: Keep the growing medium lightly moist but not waterlogged.
  • Temperature: Keep away from frost and cold draughts; requirements vary by variety.

Living plants naturally vary in size, shape and colour. Check the product options for supplied pot dimensions where available.

Good To Know

Not a Diva

Nothing special on this leafy star's rider. Happy just to get on with life and do it's thing, like an old friend just hangin' out.

Not for Pets or Kids

Beautiful but with a dark side. The leaves and/or other parts of this plant can be toxic. Keep away from pets, children and adults who never grew up.

Shade Tolerant

This one's a bit of shady character. Doesn't seek the spotlight. Just as happy hanging out in shadowy spots (where all the hot goss happens).

How not to kill your Star Sansevieria (Sansevieria kirkii)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Star Sansevieria (Sansevieria kirkii). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Direct

I love the light! A big ol' dose of bright, sunlight each day is my idea of heaven. I'm even up for some direct rays, just as long as it's not a scorcher. That said, I'm pretty adaptable. If light or dappled shade is all you've got, I won't complain.

Watering: Regular

Check regularly and keep the root compost lightly moist for plants that need steady moisture. Drain excess water and avoid waterlogging. Follow the individual plant’s care profile.

Watering: Moderate

Check the compost before watering. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Adjust to the plant, pot, light and season.

Top tips from our Agony Plant.

This plant is the definition of low effort, high reward. It loves bright, indirect light but will tolerate lower light just fine. Water sparingly — only when the soil is bone dry — and make sure it’s in a pot with drainage. Too much love (aka overwatering) is its only downfall.

Memento Top Tip:

Think of this one as the strong, silent type — it thrives on a bit of neglect. Skip a watering now and then, and it’ll thank you by looking effortlessly sculptural all year round.
