Bantel’s Sensation Snake Plant
The Snake Plant Bantel’s Sensation (Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Bantel’s Sensation’) is a very low-maintenance plant. This houseplant originated in Western Africa and is so hardy that people often joke about them being almost impossible to kill. Its vertical, glossy foliage is variegated in shades of green and creamy white stripes.
The plant’s greenish white foliage sets it apart from most Sansevieria that boast deep green blades of foliage. Named after its creator, Gustav Bantel, Sansevieria Bantel’s Sensation is a gorgeous addition to a space that brings unique, contemporary vibes while adding height and depth.
Like most all Snake Plants, Bantel’s is an extremely low maintenance, drought tolerant plant. Sansevieria, or ‘Mother In Law’s Tongue Plants,’ are perfect for those of you who have not felt blessed with the green thumb gene, as they are tolerant of most conditions.
Ideal care conditions for these hardy houseplants includes bright indirect light conditions and a well-draining soil blend. We recommend using a chunky potting mix and planting in a pot with drainage holes to avoid issues of root rot. These plants originate from desert environments so they do not require large amounts of water, and can handle extended periods of drought.
For the most optimal growth, we would also recommend applying a slow release fertilizer in the Snake Plant’s growing seasons of spring and summer. As a Snake Plant that deserves to be put on a pedestal, Bantel’s Sensation is truly a unique statement piece to a home.
