Do not grow indoors if you have cats. This plant is DEADLY to cats if they chew on any part of it!
Plants that grow from leaf cuttings will not have the yellow stripes. Blooms only in Summer.
There is now a new variety of Snake plant, a compact version that is 4-6 inches tall and 6-7 inches wide. Requires same care as the Snake plant.
