Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)

Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata), also known as Mother-in-Law's Tongue, is one of the most popular and indestructible houseplants. It features stiff, upright, sword-like leaves with distinctive horizontal banding of dark and light green, often with yellow margins.

Native to West Africa, it tolerates low light, drought, and neglect. It is an excellent air purifier. Many cultivars exist with varying leaf patterns, sizes, and colors (e.g., 'Laurentii', 'Hahnii', 'Moonshine').

Grow in well-drained soil, water sparingly (allow to dry completely), and provide bright indirect light for best growth, though it survives in low light. It rarely flowers indoors.
