Snake Plant

Description :

Snake Plant, also known as Mother-in-law’s Tongue, is a popular indoor plant prized for its ease of care and air-purifying qualities. Belonging to the Sansevieria genus, Snake Plant encompasses several species and cultivars, each with its own unique leaf shape, size, and coloration. Common features include upright, sword-shaped leaves with distinctive patterns or variegation. Snake Plants are valued not only for their ornamental value but also for their ability to improve indoor air quality by removing toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene.

Suitable Growing Condition :

Light: Snake Plants tolerate low to bright indirect light conditions. They can thrive in both bright, indirect sunlight and low-light environments, although they may grow more slowly in low light.

Water: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings, as Snake Plants are drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot in soggy soil. Water sparingly, especially during the winter months, and avoid overwatering.

Soil: Use well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand provides excellent drainage and aeration for Snake Plants’ roots.
