Description
Origin
The Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Black Coral’, also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, originates from West Africa, notably in Nigeria and Congo. This plant belongs to the Asparagaceae family and has been found in various tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
Characteristics
The Black Coral is a special type of Sansevieria with almost black foliage. It grows upright with long, pointed leaves marked by horizontal stripes of light and dark green. This species can reach considerable heights, up to 90 centimeters. It’s a very hardy plant that thrives well in different conditions.
Care
Caring for the Black Coral is relatively simple and requires little maintenance. The plant prefers bright, indirect light but can also survive in less lit conditions. Once well-rooted, sporadic watering is sufficient. However, excessive water must be drained, as too much water can cause root rot. The Black Coral can withstand dry air and is therefore suited to indoor climates with central heating.
