Moonshine Snake Plant
About The Moonshine Snake Plant

The Moonshine Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata 'Moonshine'), is adored for its upright, broad leaves that boast a silvery overtone and dark green edges. Snake plants are known for being drought-tolerant, and for their superior air-purifying capabilities. But please note: the Moonshine needs brighter light than other varieties of snake plants to retain its silvery pigmentation.
