Hahnii ‘Gold Star’ Snake Plant, 4-Inch Pot

Hahnii ‘Gold Star’ snake plant grows in a compact, bird’s-nest rosette. Its sturdy, pointed leaves pair patterned green centers with bright yellow variegation for a bold little accent on a desk or shelf. Leaf color, size, and the number of rosettes vary naturally.

Size and what ships

One live Hahnii ‘Gold Star’ snake plant in a 4-inch nursery grow pot. The plant’s height and fullness at shipping vary. This dwarf form typically remains compact, often reaching about 6–10 inches tall with time and suitable care.

Care guide

• Light: Bright indirect light helps retain its yellow color. It tolerates lower light, though growth can slow and variegation may be less vivid. Avoid harsh, prolonged direct sun.
• Water: Allow the potting mix to dry thoroughly between waterings, then water and let excess drain. Water much less often in low light or cool months; soggy roots can rot.
• Soil: Use a loose, fast-draining succulent-style mix in a pot with drainage.
• Temperature and humidity: Keep warm and frost-free, away from cold drafts. Average indoor humidity is suitable.
• Feeding: Feed sparingly with diluted balanced fertilizer during spring and summer growth if needed.
• Repotting: Repot only when crowded, using a slightly larger pot and keeping the plant at the same soil level.
• Propagation: Divide established offsets with roots to retain the ‘Gold Star’ pattern. Leaf cuttings may not reproduce the same variegation.

Pet safety

Snake plants are toxic to cats and dogs if eaten. Keep this plant out of reach of pets and children.
