The Stuckyi Snake Plant, sometimes known as the Elephant Tusks Plant, is a low-maintenance succulent. It was previously thought to belong to the Sansevieria genus, but it is now classified as part of the Dracaena genus. Mr. Stucky gave this snake plant variety its name.
Stuckyi Snake Plant Appearance
The Sansevieria Stuckyi has two different leaf appearances during its existence. The Elephant Tusks Plant matures into a tall, erect plant with cone-shaped leaves. The horizontal cross stripes with layered green color on the foliage make them immediately recognizable. Let’s breakdown one by one!
Soil
The Elephant Tusks Plant prefers loose, fast-draining soil because to its drought tolerance. Because this plant does not tolerate over-watering, you can use a soil-free potting mix. Organically enriched fertile soil is another alternative.
Light
The Stuckyi Snake Plant is a hardy plant. From fully covered, low-light areas to full sun, it can tolerate any lighting situation. During hot summer days, it should be kept out of direct sunlight. The Elephant Tusks Plant is undemanding in warm to tropical garden settings, but loves partial to full shade. The leaves of the Sansevieria Stuckyi can vary in color according on the location. Your plant will have darker greens if it is grown in low light. Your Elephant Tusks Plant’s markings may get brighter and more vivid if it is exposed to bright light.
Watering
Sansevieria Stuckyi only needs a minimal amount of water to thrive. During the growing season, watering should be done every other week. The frequency of watering can be lowered to once a month during the winter months. This plant, like others in its genus, is not a huge drinker. The Elephant Tusks Plant can spend months without being watered and prefers not to be over-watered. Overwatering your plant can cause root rot, which can lead to death. Before watering your Elephant Tusks Plant, it’s a good idea to test the soil. You can tell whether or not your plant needs to be watered by simply feeling the soil. Water is only needed when the soil is completely dry.

Temperatures for the Elephant Tusks Plant should be between 18 ° C and 27 ° C (65 ° F and 80 ° F) for optimal growth. This stuckyi snake plant despite its toughness, struggles in the cold.

Humidity
For the Sansevieria Stuckyi, humidity is unimportant. This plant can and will tolerate a wide range of humidity conditions.
Fertilizer

It’s best to use a balanced cacti or all-purpose fertilizer. The Stuckyi Snake Plant has an issue with blooming. Fertilizing should be done prior to the flowering season for a minor improvement in blossoming probability.

Elephant Tusks Plants bloom infrequently, making seed collection difficult.
Growth
