Description
The Sansevieria trifasciata, commonly called Snake Plant or Mother-in-law’s Tongue, is one of the most reliable and timeless indoor plants. With its bold upright leaves, pointed tips, and green-and-silver banded patterns, it’s ideal for modern homes and low-maintenance lifestyles.
This medium-sized version (approx. 2 feet) works beautifully in bedrooms, living rooms, corners, and office spaces. Its natural vertical growth adds structure without taking up much floor space — and its striking leaves provide strong visual contrast against walls or minimal interiors.
Not only is it virtually unkillable, but it’s also one of the top-rated air-purifying plants, known for removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene. It tolerates low light, drought, and neglect — perfect for beginners or busy plant lovers.
