The king's crown snake plant is a type of leatherleaf plant, but it has golden edges and sometimes the leaves also have a gradient pattern of golden yellow and green, which is very distinctive. Some friends also ask me before raising king's crown snake plants, whether this plant can bloom. After all, if it can bloom and has unique leaves, it's really a win-win situation, and it enhances the aesthetics of your home.
The king's crown snake plant can indeed bloom. Most leatherleaf plant species can bloom, but whether they can bloom or not, and whether the plant we choose can bloom, really depends on luck. The blooming of king's crown snake plant is as rare as that of aloe vera. It's not that you can see it bloom if you take good care of it, because in most cases, even if you take good care of it, the snake plant you are raising may not be the one that can bloom, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Its leaves are large and elongated, usually standing up layer by layer like a barrier surrounding in a circle. If you have a king's crown snake plant at home, you can try to touch the surface of its leaves with your hand. It feels relatively smooth, and you can say it's almost completely flat.
Besides having good ornamental value, the air purification ability of king's crown snake plant is what we should praise the most. It can not only absorb harmful gases like formaldehyde that linger in the house after decoration, but also the fumes produced by daily cooking, giving us a clean and healthy environment.

The king's crown snake plant does not always have leaves that stand straight up; there are also smaller varieties with leaves that naturally spread out like hanging orchids. This is also related to the leaf hardness of different leatherleaf plant species. Generally, leaves with a very hard texture will stand up and cannot naturally droop, while softer leaves can spread out. You must consider carefully what shape you want.
Actually, there's no need to worry that the king's crown snake plant will take up much space. It will not exceed one square meter at most, and unless it is grown particularly well, the leaves will not become very wide, generally not using half a square meter. Placing it in the living room is very suitable, and it can absorb impurities more quickly.
It does not require much sunlight, so you don't need to take it outside to bask in the sun all the time. Just place it indoors where there is sunlight, and it doesn't need long hours of sunlight every day. When watering or fertilizing, try not to pour water at the base of the leaves, as this can easily cause the bottom of the leaves to rot.
