A hardy, Celtic warrior who can take some harsh treatment.

Reasons to love Bruce

This tough plant is perfect for the warrior in your life. This twisted snake plant is an unusual, unique and stylish way to decorate your home. Resembling a Celtic knot pattern, this striking plant is surprisingly easy to care for, requiring only bright light and occasional watering. As it stores water in its fronds it is very drought tolerant, and needs watering only when the top layer of soil has completely dried out. It is also a brilliant air purifier, and is one of NASA’s top recommended plants for removing air pollutants from the home. With his easy- going nature and long lifespan, Bruce will be a great family heirloom for years to come.

About Bruce

#1. Current size. Pot diameter : 8cm, height: 30cm.

#2. Max height. 40 cm

#3. Latin name: Sansevieria cylindrica twist

#4. Experience level: Beginner

#5. Toxicity. Bruce can be mildly toxic to pets and animals if consumed.

#6. A note on pots. We recommend buying pot covers (decorative pots) for your plants for two reasons. Firstly, they look cute and they stop water from going all over your windowsill/ desk/ table etc. Secondly, it makes it easier for the roots of your plant to take up the water they need and gives you a visible indicator of how thirsty they are! If you already own pots or have an old saucer you would prefer to use, choose the pot free option (shown with plants in their nursery pots). Otherwise, we would recommend buying a pot cover for Bruce. The black eco-pot is made from 100% recycled materials.

Please note that every living plant is unique and so can vary slightly from the measurements and pictures shown here.

Once you become a Harpins gardener, you enter the family! We love all our plants and want them to be well cared for in their new homes – which is why our service doesn’t stop when our box is dropped off at your door. We have experts on hand all the time to answer your questions. Feel free to get in touch with us on social media, send us an email or have a browse of our how-to tutorials on Youtube and on our Gardener’s Guide blog.

Quality

Everything we sell is of a standard which we would want to use ourselves - we don’t sell anything we wouldn’t grow or use in our own gardens! We source high quality goods from the UK and the Netherlands to make sure that the Harpins Gardener never needs to worry about the quality of the plant - only how much space they have left in their house!

Provenance

Despite his namesake, Bruce was born in the Netherlands.

 Sustainability

 Plants are naturally good for the environment, but we don’t want our business to offset the good that plants do by smothering them in throwaway, plastic packaging. When you order from us you will receive your plants in a recyclable cardboard box (which contains a high grade of recycled materials within it). Even our notecards are made from 100% recycled paper.
