Product Description
A pair of faux snake plants, 3 ft tall with 24 realistic leaves each, in UV-resistant PE, available in dark green or yellow-green. The UV-resistant material maintains its colour and texture indoors or outdoors, which makes this set one of the few in our range genuinely suited to a patio as well as a living room.
Sansevieria's reputation as an unkillable houseplant is well earned, so a faux version has to justify itself on something other than difficulty. This set's argument is threefold: it needs zero light for rooms with none, it is safe around pets that chew plants, and its UV-resistant PE holds up in bright, semi-exposed spots where a real sansevieria would need protection from wet, cold Canadian conditions.
It ships as a matched pair, both plants counted at 24 leaves each. If you are ordering more than one set, decide on dark green versus yellow-green up front so your grouping stays matched rather than mixed.

Artificial snake plant, or a real one?
| This set of 2 | Live sansevieria | |
|---|---|---|
| Outdoor durability | UV-resistant PE material | Real leaves can sunburn or rot in wet outdoor conditions, depending on placement |
| Difficulty keeping alive | N/A | Genuinely one of the easiest houseplants to grow |
| Pet safety | Not toxic if chewed, since it is plastic | Mildly toxic to cats and dogs if chewed |
| Cost, year one | Paid once, for two plants | Paid again for two comparable live plants |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Almost nothing; sansevieria rarely needs replacing |
| Colour choice | Dark green or yellow-green | Whatever variegation the specimen you buy happens to have |
| Maintenance | Occasional dusting | Watering roughly once a month |
The live plant still wins on cost and ease almost everywhere indoors. Where this set has a genuine edge is a covered patio or a similarly bright, semi-exposed spot where UV resistance actually matters and a real sansevieria would need protection from wet, cold conditions in a Canadian outdoor season.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
This is a set of two, so plan floor or shelf space for a pair rather than a single plant, and decide on dark green versus yellow-green before ordering. Assembly is simply shaping the leaves by hand after unpacking.
With two plants in one shipment, inspect each base independently on delivery — a knock in transit does not necessarily affect both equally.
Who is this not for?
- Most indoor rooms with any usable light. A real snake plant is genuinely one of the easiest houseplants to grow; if the space has any indirect light, the live plant does the same job.
- Anyone who wants a single plant rather than a pair. This product is priced and sold as a set of two.
Common questions
What does UV resistant mean on this product?
The PE material used for the leaves is UV resistant and maintains its colour and texture indoors or outdoors — a more specific promise than the vaguer "fade-resistant" wording common in this category. For a patio in full, unbroken summer sun, expect some gradual colour change over multiple seasons even on a UV-resistant material; a covered or partly shaded spot is where it performs best for longest.
What is the difference between the two colours?
Colour only. Dark green and yellow-green are otherwise identical — the same 3 ft height, the same 24-leaf count per plant, the same UV-resistant PE material. Choose whichever tone suits the room, or match your existing greenery.
Isn't a real snake plant easier?
In most indoor settings, yes. Sansevieria is one of the most forgiving houseplants available and tolerates low light. The specific reasons to buy this set instead are a genuinely light-starved room, a pet that chews plants (live sansevieria is mildly toxic to cats and dogs), or a covered outdoor spot where UV resistance is a relevant feature rather than an unused one.
How many leaves does each plant have?
24 realistic leaves per plant, two plants in the set — 48 leaves across the pair. That is a specific, useful figure: it lets you judge fullness before buying, where most listings settle for words like lush or realistic. A snake plant with fewer, widely spaced leaves reads as sparse rather than full, so a counted 24 per plant is genuinely reassuring at this height.
Can I use these on a patio?
Yes — the set is made for indoor and outdoor use, patios included, and the UV-resistant PE is the feature doing the work in that setting. For a spot that takes full, unbroken sun all season, expect some gradual softening of colour over multiple years; under a covered or partly shaded patio, the pair will keep its colour and structure with nothing more than an occasional rinse.
