Snake Plant Description:

The Snake Plant (botanical name: Sansevieria trifasciata, also known as Dracaena trifasciata) is a hardy and low-maintenance indoor plant, popular for its air-purifying qualities and striking appearance. It features upright, sword-like leaves that grow vertically and can reach up to 2–4 feet tall. The leaves are typically green with light green, yellow, or grayish horizontal stripes, and some varieties have yellow edges.

Also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, the snake plant is highly adaptable and can thrive in a wide range of lighting conditions, from bright indirect light to low light. It is extremely drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering, making it ideal for busy households or offices.
