Common Name(s): Black Robusta Snake Plant, Forest Star Snake Plant

The Black Robusta Snake Plant, also called Forest Star, is an elegant and resilient houseplant, distinguished by its deep, dark green foliage with subtle silver-gray markings. With its compact and upright growth, Black Robusta is perfect for adding a sleek, contemporary touch to any space. This hardy plant is incredibly low-maintenance and is ideal for beginner plant owners or those with busy lifestyles. Known for its strong tolerance to varying light levels and infrequent watering needs, Black Robusta is versatile enough to thrive in nearly any indoor environment.

Black Robusta Snake Plant performs best in bright, indirect light but can adapt to low light or artificial lighting conditions, making it an excellent choice for offices or low-light rooms. It prefers a well-draining, sandy soil mix and should be watered sparingly. Let the soil dry completely between waterings, as this plant is highly susceptible to root rot if overwatered. It tolerates average room temperatures and lower humidity levels, making it ideal for most indoor spaces.
