How to keep it happy
Happy in anything from low light to bright sun. Water every two to three weeks, letting the soil dry fully; it stores water and rots if kept wet. Toxic to pets.
Plant details & care
- Botanical name: Sansevieria Trifasciata
- Common names: Snake plant, Zeylanica, Mother-in-law's tongue
This evergreen perennial native to tropical West Africa and Nigeria, is a great addition to any office or household as a natural air purifier. Snake plants have strong and sturdy, sword shaped leaves which are drought tolerant and retains the plants water. This plant can be easily propagated by leaf cuttings so you can multiply your family of snake plants or give them away as a gift. This particular variety will have its definitive dark green pattern towards the middle of each stalk.
