Description & Care Guide

🌿 Care Guide

Plant Name: Snake Plant Moonshine
Botanical Name: Dracaena trifasciata 'Moonshine'
Common Names: Moonshine Snake Plant, Silver Snake Plant
Origin: West Africa

🌞 Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. The silvery-green frosted color is most pronounced in brighter conditions. Tolerates low light well.

💧 Watering

Water when the soil is completely dry — every 2–3 weeks in summer. Reduce to monthly in winter. Never let the plant sit in water.

🌡️ Temperature

Ideal range: 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

🌱 Soil

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Drainage is key to prevent root rot.

✂️ Maintenance

Wipe leaves to keep them dust-free. Remove any yellow or dead leaves at the base. Repot every 2–3 years. The Luma pot's drainage is ideal for this plant.

⚠️ Sad Plant Signs

🟡 Yellow, mushy leaves – Overwatering. Let soil dry completely.
🟤 Brown tips – Low humidity or underwatering.
📉 Fading silver color – Too little light. Move to a brighter spot.
