Introducing, the moonshine snake plant, known as Sansevieria Moonshine, a popular houseplant that belongs to the Sansevieria genus. Native to West Africa, it is a variety of the Sansevieria trifasciata. It has several other common names such as the Sansevieria trifasciata Moonshine, Silver Snake Plant, Silver Sansevieria, Sansevieria moonglow, or Dracaena moonshine, highlighting its attractive silver coloration. The Moonshine Snake Plant is a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts, with its silvery-green leaves that have a moonlight glow. 

This moonshine snake plant features long, upright leaves that grow in a rosette pattern. The leaves are thick with a smooth texture of a beautiful silvery-green hue and bold green edges. They have a unique cylindrical shape, narrowing towards the tips, which adds to their visual appeal. The Moonshine Snake Plant can grow up to 4 feet tall in its natural habitat and 2 feet tall indoors, making it suitable for both small and large spaces. 

Sansevieria Moonshine blooms in spring and summer, with fragrant green and white flowers on tall spikes. These sweet-smelling flowers will last 2 to 3 weeks. While the blooms are not the main attraction of these indoor plants, they can add a touch of elegance to their overall appearance. 

Propagating Snake Plant moonshine is relatively easy. It can be propagated through leaf cuttings or by dividing the plant's rhizomes. Leaf cuttings can be placed in water or directly in well-draining soil until they develop roots. Dividing the plant involves separating the offshoots or rhizomes and planting them in separate pots to get new plants. 

Moonshine Snake plants, known for their hardiness, low maintenance, and style, are commonly found in offices, lobbies, stores, and homes. The most common types of snake plants include Sansevieria trifasciata (Mother in law’s tongue plant), Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii' (Variegated snake plant), and Sansevieria zeylanica (Zeylanica snake plant), which is gaining popularity in various settings. 

Watering Needs 

Like other tropical plants, this drought-tolerant Sansevieria Moonshine prefers moderate watering. Allow the soil line to completely dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's best to err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering. Before watering, check the moisture level of the soil by sticking your finger about an inch deep into the soil. If it feels dry at that depth, it's time to water. If it's still slightly moist, wait a bit longer. 

In the spring and summer months, during the growing season, water your Sansevieria Moonshine every 2-3 weeks. While in the fall and winter months, during the dormant period, reduce watering to once every 4-6 weeks. 

When watering, make sure to thoroughly saturate the soil in the pot, allowing water to seep out of the drainage holes. This ensures that the roots receive adequate moisture without sitting in stagnant water. 

These moonshine snake plants are known for their ability to tolerate drought, so they can handle periods of dryness. Observing the moisture level of the soil and adjusting your watering accordingly will help keep your Sansevieria Moonshine happy and healthy. 

Light Requirements 

If you are growing your Sansevieria moonshine indoors, it prefers bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours a day. If you have a spot near a window with filtered or indirect sunlight, that would be ideal. However, this moonshine snake plant can also thrive in areas with medium light, making it a perfect choice for those with less sunny spaces in their homes. 

If you decide to move your Sansevieria Moonshine outdoors, it's important to consider its light requirements. Your moonshine snake plant can tolerate full sunlight, but it's best to provide it with bright indirect light or partial shade. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, so finding a spot with filtered sunlight or placing it under a shade structure would be beneficial. If you live in a region with intense sunlight, it's a good idea to acclimate the plant gradually to prevent leaf burn. 

Remember, finding the right balance of light is crucial for this beautiful plant. Too little light can result in leggy growth, while too much direct sunlight can cause leaf damage. Observing your snake plant's moonshine response to its current light conditions and adjusting accordingly will help ensure its health and growth. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Sansevieria moonshine prefers very airy, porous, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.5 - 7.5. Succulents require fast-draining soil that dries completely between waterings. Your soil must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil. Soggy wet soil can damage your moonshine snake plant and contribute to bacterial and fungal rot. In addition, because of a lack of oxygen, soggy soil substitutes air pockets with water, resulting in an anaerobic environment that can kill your snake plant. 

As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. Ideally, you want to use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

The Sansevieria Moonshine is a relatively low-maintenance plant when it comes to fertilizing. During the growing season in the spring, you can feed your Moonshine Snake Plant with a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer once a year. However, be careful not to over-fertilize, as it can lead to salt buildup in the soil. 

It's important to note that the Sansevieria Moonshine is a slow-growing snake plant, so it doesn't have high nutrient requirements. As long as you provide it with well-drained soil and occasional fertilization during the growing season, it should thrive. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to observe your plant's response to the soil and fertilizer you provide. Adjusting the watering and fertilizing routine based on its growth and overall health will help ensure its well-being. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the Sansevieria Moonshine can tolerate a warm temperature between 60°F to 85°F. It's important to avoid exposing it to extreme temperature fluctuations, as this can stress the plant. Keep it in a spot where the temperature remains relatively stable throughout the day. 

If you decide to move your Sansevieria Moonshine outdoors, it can thrive in USDA zones 10-11, where the average temperature stays above 50°F. If you live in a colder zone, it's important to protect the plant from freezing temperatures by keeping it indoors during the winter months. It can tolerate higher temperatures, but it's important to protect it from scorching direct sunlight, especially in hotter climates. 

The Sansevieria Moonshine is a relatively low-humidity plant. It can tolerate a range of humidity levels, from dry to moderate. It's well-suited for indoor environments with average humidity levels. If you live in a particularly dry climate, you can increase humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water nearby or using a humidifier. This snake plant is one of the hardiest houseplants and is extremely adaptable. 

Remember, providing the Sansevieria Moonshine with the appropriate temperature and humidity conditions will contribute to its overall health and growth. Whether you choose to keep it indoors or move it outdoors, maintaining a suitable environment will help ensure its well-being. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Sansevieria Moonshine (Moonshine Snake Plant) is a low-maintenance snake plant for succulent plant lovers of all levels. With its striking silvery-green leaves, easy propagation methods, and ability to thrive in various indoor conditions, this moonshine snake plant adds a touch of elegance to any space. While it occasionally produces small, fragrant flowers, its main allure lies in its unique foliage. It thrives in bright, indirect light and only needs to be watered when the top inch of soil is dry. Additionally, it is important to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. You can grow your plant indoors in warm temperatures between 60°F to 85°F, and outdoors in USDA zones 10-11.

00 361 pages Hurricane Katrina spawned an awesome number of literary works
Format: Kindle
Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward New York: Bloomsberry $24.00 361 pages Hurricane Katrina spawned an awesome number of literary works, and it may be that, given sufficient time to determine the full merits of Jesmyn Ward’s novel, Salvage the Bones, her work may be the most worthy. Perhaps the theory that great disasters (wars, natural disasters) invariably produce great works of art (operas, novels, paintings, etc.). This theory was often discussed by Flannery O’Conner who commented on the irony of the “creative renaissance” in southern literature which owes its origin to the extensive suffering and injustice associated with slavery and the Civil War. The narrator of Salvage the Bones is Esch, a fifteen-year-old girl living in Bois Sauvage, a predominately black bayou town which happens to be in the direct path of Katrina. Set in the twelve days leading up to, and just after the arrival of the hurricane, the novel presents each day as a distinct vignette. Esch and her brothers spend each day preparing for the terrifying arrival. They have no intention of leaving and attempt to help their drunken father reinforce their shack with sheets of plywood. They collect and store bottles of drinking water. Food supplies tend to consist of Top Ramen moon pies, vienna sausage, potted meat and eggs gathered in the woods. However, despite Katrina’s approach, Esch and her brothers seem to be primarily concerned about their white pit bull, China who has just given birth to five pups. China has developed a reputation in the dog fights that take place in “The Pit” in Bois Sauvage. She is a killing machine, a fact that makes Esch and her brothers the envy of their neighbors. The family’s meager economic security depends on China and each day is spent grooming, washes and feeding her. Indeed they fawn over the big dog, telling everyone that her puppies will grow up to have a killer instinct and therefore, they are invaluable. Much of the intrigue in Esch’s daily life revolves around protecting China and her pups. Skeetah is Esch’s oldest brother and the dog’s self-appointed trainer. Esch has a multitude of problems. She struggles to love her handicapped father and is haunted by the memory of her mother’s death. Now, she discovers that she is pregnant by Bois Sauvage’s “golden boy,” Manny, the boy who put the baby inside her is totally indifferent to the consequences of a rough and tumble frolic in the dark. As each day brings more distress, the homely, pug-faced teenager turns to her imagination, searching for a means to deal with the world around her, and as luck would have it, that is Edith Hamilton’s Mythology, which was a required reading at school. Esch begins to see the people around her as characters in her favorite book. She observes that all the girls in Bois Sauvage seem to be acting like their mythical counterparts: Psyche, Eurydice, Daphne - all of them running away from something or running after someone. However, the mythical character that Esch selects for her own role model is an ominous one. It is Medea, the fierce and vindictive wife of “the golden-haired Jason, who kills her own brother when he stands in the way of her love for Jason; and when that love turns to hate, she then murders Jason’s new wife, Creusa, her father, Creon and even kills her own children. Of course, Esch is not going to harm anyone. Although she is filled with rage at the world around her, she is actually one of the forces that is holding everything together; China, the white pitbull is another. When Katrina reaches landfall, it comes like some apocalyptic act of God, sweeping everything away, including Esch’s home and all of their feeble efforts to battle the rising water. In the end Salvage the Bones acquires a kind of epic grander. Like Noah or Gilgamesh, the waters finally withdraw, leaving a confused and humbled Bois Sauvage. How much has been lost? The puppies are gone and so is China - but given the dog’s character, she may have survived. Perhaps Skeetah and his brothers will find her. The reader is left with a singular image. Skeetah, the oldest brother sits in the wreckage of their home, and while everyone else is searching for missing children, furniture and cars, Skeetah looks at his brothers and announces, “She will come back to me.” Esch tells us: “He will watch the dark, the ruined houses, the muddy appliances, the tops of the trees that surround us whose leaves are dying for lack of roots. He will feed the fire, so it will blaze bright as a lighthouse. He will listen for the beat of her tail, the padding of her feet in the mud. He will look into the future and see her emerge into the circle of his fire, beaten dirty by the hurricane so she doesn’t gleam anymore. So, she is the color of his teeth, his eyes, of the bone bounded by his blood, dull but alive, alive, alive, and when he sees her, his face will break and run water. And what of Esch who loves the white dog? She says that China will look at me and know “I am a mother.” Hopefully, it is apparent that this is a remarkable book. However, it was almost lost in the loud braying and confusion that dominates much of publishing business now. Even so, it won the National Book Award in 2011. Now, after a strange silence, it is beginning to get the attention that it deserves.

however the family takes precautions leading up to the storm to plan for one of the worst natural disasters in American history
Format: Paperback
Salvage the Bones is a deeply personal account of a young woman, Esch, and her family's life in the few days before Hurricane Katrina. The novel is set on the family's land in a small town in Mississippi. She lives with her father, her mother seven years deceased, and her three brothers, Skeetah, Randall, and Junior. Esch has recently learned that she is pregnant with the child of one of her older brother's friends. Skeetah takes care of his pitbull, China, helping her give birth and grooming her to fight for the family's honor. Randall plays basketball in hopes of gaining a college scholarship. Junior is a product of the mother's death, as she passed away giving birth to him, and leaves the family to mother him for the rest of his life. The novel describes the family's relationships with one another before the hurricane will rock them and test their connections to one another. The novel is not set decisively around the hurricane, however the family takes precautions leading up to the storm to plan for one of the worst natural disasters in American history. Jesmyn Ward provides a semi-autobiographical context of the hurricane, as she was born in a small, rural community in Mississippi, similar to the one she describes in Salvage the Bones. Ward writes commonly in this tone, and her newest novel, Men Who Reaped, describes the lives of four men in her life that had suffered deaths far too young. The novel is poetic in its writing style, and a beautiful read. Ward describes herself as a "failed poet," however, by reading the novel, it is clear that she succeeds in her poetry. Metaphors follow each line of description, and Ward is able to connect figurative language with the colloquial language of characters living in a rural community. It is undeniably pleasurable to read through the pages. Ward creates lovable characters and leaves the reader longing to discover what happens after the hurricane, and how the favorite characters are surviving in the wake of the natural disaster. There is a large dog presence throughout the novel, in addition to family ties, the novel provides a sense of companionship and a person's human relationship with his dog. The dog becomes a member of the family, and the relationship is called into question with the severity of the storm and the need to hold onto the most important things in times of crisis. I am overwhelmed with the poetic nature of this book and applaud Ward as an exceptional writer.

A deceptively brilliant novel.
Format: Kindle
This novel does a great job of weaving careful diction and sentence structure to give each chapter a sort of charm. The writing is definitely one to praise and cherish. However, this is unfortunately where most praise ends. The novel is incredibly slow and has very little points. The whole entire time, we are made to believe that Katrina is at the core of the story when in reality, it only spends about 2 chapters really focused on the disaster itself. Although, I would still recommend this novel if you are looking for a more slice of life in the middle of Mississippi. But it's not the ultimate tale of disaster it was made out to be.

Listening to Life
I don't remember why I bought this book. It probably wasn't that it won the National Book Award for 2011; more likely that it's about the Mississippi coast in the time prior to Hurricane Katrina. I have family living on that coastline, and have visited the area many times, being from the not-so-far-away Louisiana "hill country." (Don't laugh - there are some.) I'm white, though, and while all Southerners of all classes and races interact (although they sometimes don't act like it), this book has a lot to say about the underprivileged of all ilks throughout the South. The book is about a black family - or what remains of one - in the two weeks or so leading up to Katrina. The principal character and narrator is the girl of the family, Esch, and she's pregnant. Esch has an alter ego of sorts in her brother Skeetah's pit bull, China, who in the first few pages gives birth to her first litter. Skeetah is something of a dog whisperer, and his hold on China is little short of magical. There's another brother, Randall, who has hoop dreams, and a late addition to the family, Junior. A young lad named Manny has done the dirty with Esch; she's in love with him, and is reluctant to tell him she's pregnant. She goes through all the usual throes of morning sickness, having to guess what's going on in her biology, but she's a plucky kid, and she perseveres. When Katrina hits, the family, which has already been turned upside down by poverty and the brood's mother's earlier death, is turned - I don't know - sideways. But this isn't a story about victimization. It owes a lot to Hugo's underclass in Les Miserables - they improvise, they adapt, they attempt continually to overcome. Ward's book leaves us with a poignant ending, but one with resilience and promise. Jesmyn Ward knows how to hold a reader, she takes us deep into the souls of Esch, particularly, but each of the others in the family as well. She paces her story like a pro, never leaving us in despair, with a hint of promise just over the horizon. The story's details are what continued to charm me: Esch-as-narrator's eloquence, her insight (although she often spoke more "street" in dialogue - but it works) into her condition, the family's ongoing plight as well as their separate and collaborative dreams. The attention to nature: the weather, of course, the dog's fleas, ants crawling across Esch's toes, the smell of the unkempt house, the feel of sweat, the ramen and Vienna sausages they eat. Even the details of a series of dogfights. This book clearly deserves the award. It's about life, and I can tell you it speaks to life as a Southerner, regardless of race, or color, or creed.

An important, powerful story
Format: Paperback
Salvage the Bones tells the story of an African American family in Mississippi in the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina. The narrative follows Esch, a young girl who has just found out she is pregnant and is reluctant to tell her brothers and father about it. Her father, with the help of her brothers, is preparing for the impending storm, certain that it will be devastating even when others doubt it. Additionally, her brother Skeetah tends to his dog who has just given birth, China. This novel tells an important story of survivors who are often overlooked. It is an intense and well-paced read, as both Esch’s baby and Katrina are constantly looming. I greatly enjoyed the interweaving of Esch’s family’s story with the broader history of Katrina that I am more familiar with; it really empowered me to consider the individual lives of all those affected and just how much was lost. The familial relationships in this novel are its best part— they are all so complex but feel very true to life. Ward’s writing is accessible and clear while still providing a rich and powerful reading experience. Sometimes, the novel felt a bit on-the-nose with its themes and allusions, to the point where I found certain images and phrases overly repetitive. However, that was just one small gripe to much richer reading experience. If you are interested in themes of maternity, poverty, survival, and climate, or simply want to experience a powerful and necessary story, I would recommend Salvage the Bones.
