Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii Mein Liebling' (Mein Liebling Snake Plant) - This semi-succulent plant forms a strongly upright clump, 2 to 3 feet tall, with leaves that are dark green with pale moss green margins and gray green horizontal bands with the occasional longitudinal band the same color as the margins. Will tolerate low light levels but grows best and flowers if given bright light and even tolerates full sun. Hardy to 30-32° F. Water sparingly and not at all as temperatures dip in winter but can tolerate going months between watering. If growing outdoors in frost free areas keep in a covered patio or under an eave where plants do not receive winter rainfall. A great container plant that needs little care. In Juan Chahinian's book The Sansevieria Trifasciata Varieties (1986) that this stable clone is a descendent from Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii'. As with many such clones, plants can be propagated by division but leaf cuttings will yield typical Sansevieria trifasciata. Mien Liebling is German for "my dear". This cultivar reportedly originated at Shadow Lane Nursery in Plantation, Florida. Long placed in the Agavaceae, the Dracaenaceae and by some in the Ruscaceae families, this genus is now considered to be correctly placed in the Asparagaceae.
