Snake Plant
🌿 Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
The Snake Plant, also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, is one of the most popular and low-maintenance houseplants available. With its tall, upright leaves and striking green-and-yellow patterns, it adds a bold, modern touch to any indoor space.
🌱 Why Choose a Snake Plant?
Low Maintenance: Perfect for beginners—requires minimal watering and thrives on neglect.
Air Purifier: NASA studies have shown that snake plants help filter indoor air by removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene.
Versatile Light Needs: Grows well in both bright light and low-light conditions, making it ideal for apartments, offices, or darker corners of your home.
Drought-Tolerant: Its thick leaves store water, so occasional forgetfulness won’t harm it.
🌿 Care Tips
Light: Indirect sunlight is ideal, but it can handle low light.
Water: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Over-watering is the most common mistake.
Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 60–85°F (15–29°C).
Soil: Well-draining potting mix is essential to prevent root rot.
