Origin
The Sansevieria Black Diamond, better known as the 'snake plant', has its roots in West Africa. It is a tropical plant originated from the family of succulents. The plant owes this name to the pattern and shape of its leaves which resemble the skin of a snake.
Characteristics
Sansevieria Black Diamond is a unique variety of sansevierias with its striking, almost black colour. The plant is characterized by its sturdy, erect, sword-shaped leaves, which are dark green to black. The leaves have a glossy texture and can grow up to 1 meter in height.

Care
