Snake Plant

Plant Description

The Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata var. laurentii) — also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue — is one of the most resilient and stylish indoor plants you can own.
Its upright, sword-like leaves feature dark green centers bordered with light yellow-gold edges, creating a striking architectural look that fits perfectly in any home or office.

Renowned for its air-purifying qualities, the Snake Plant removes toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from the air, making it one of the NASA-recommended air purifier plants.
This tough, drought-tolerant plant thrives on neglect — perfect for beginners, frequent travelers, or anyone seeking a zero-maintenance green companion.

✨ Why You’ll Love the Snake Plant

• 🍃 NASA-approved air purifying plant – Filters harmful toxins and improves indoor air quality.

• 🌱 Zero maintenance – Thrives with minimal watering and care.

• 🪴 Perfect for low-light spaces – Grows beautifully in bedrooms, offices, or shaded corners.

• 🌿 Highly adaptable – Tolerates air-conditioned environments and dry indoor air.

• 💚 Stylish & modern – Adds a bold, vertical accent to your décor.

🌞 Growing & Care Instructions

☀️ Light: Prefers bright, filtered light, but easily tolerates low-light conditions.
Can even thrive under artificial lighting — ideal for offices or indoor corners.

💧 Watering: Extremely drought-tolerant.

• In summer: Water once a week or every two weeks.

• In winter: Water sparingly — once a month or less.
  Always let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering can cause root rot.

🌡️ Temperature: Best temperature range: Above 10°C (50°F). Can handle mild cold but prefers warm indoor conditions. Keep away from direct AC or heater vents.

🌿 Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent excess moisture. Good drainage is key to healthy growth.

🌱 Fertilizer: Feed lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) using a balanced houseplant fertilizer once every 2–3 months. Avoid fertilizing in winter.

🪴 Repotting Tips

Repot your Snake Plant every 1–2 years in spring, or when roots begin to crowd the pot.
They tolerate being slightly root-bound, but fresh soil promotes new growth. Choose a pot with good drainage holes.
