The Houseplant That Actually Looks Rather Good and Won't Abandon You
Right, let's be honest. Most of us are marginally rubbish at plant parenting. Enter the Snake Plant Velvet Touch, a splendid bit of botanical engineering that somehow thrives despite our best efforts to ignore it. This gorgeously tactile succulent arrives with a rather marvellous velvety coating that feels fabulous to touch and transforms your space with minimal fuss.
Why Choose Our Snake Plant Velvet Touch
Practically Indestructible: Native to West African climates, this beauty has evolved to handle neglect with grace. Water it occasionally, leave it be, and watch it flourish while you get on with actual life.
Air Purification That Actually Works: Unlike decorative air fresheners that smell of broken promises, this plant genuinely boosts oxygen levels and improves humidity in your home. Rather good news if you suffer from dry skin or that irritating scratchy throat feeling.
Utterly Fetching Appearance: The velvet texture is genuinely gorgeous to run your fingers across. The soft coating will gradually grow out over years, which is fine really, as it just means the plant gets more authentically interesting with time.
Fabulously Low Maintenance: No special skills required. No mysterious wasting away. Just the occasional drink of water and a spot with decent light.
Product Details
Height Upon Arrival: 20 to 40cm, measured including nursery pot
Pot Size: 9cm diameter nursery pot
Seasonal Care: During spring and summer, keep the soil gently moist. Come autumn and winter, let it dry out rather more. This mimics its native rainy and dry seasons, and the plant rewards you by going dormant and being even easier to manage.
Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. It tolerates sun quite well, though all day direct sun is a touch excessive. Rather like most of us, really.
Temperature Preferences: Keep daytime temperatures between 15 and 28 degrees Celsius, and nights between 12 and 20 degrees. Nothing too demanding.
This is the houseplant for people who love having greenery about but harbour deep suspicions about their own reliability. Order now and finally have proof that you can keep something alive.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands
Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.
Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
