If you’re new to the indoor plant game or are simply looking for an easy-care houseplant, the Snake Plant is the plant for you. This hardy plant is renowned for its adaptability and its classic sword-like leaves. It can withstand full sun and handle low light—though it will do best in bright indirect sunlight. The Snake Plant is also drought tolerant, making it able to take a little neglect. Keep its sturdy leaves dust-free by wiping them regularly.
Description
The timeless Snake Plant, or sansevieria, is one of the most beloved indoor houseplants thanks to its sturdy upright leaves, green markings, and adaptability to almost any environment. These plants can adapt to any indoor lighting and like to dry between waterings which makes them the ideal no-fuss plant.
The Snake Plant is native to the arid deserts of Africa but has acclimated to homes across the globe. This ridged plant can be placed in low to bright light, but prefers indirect bright light. Water only when the soil volume is 100% dry. Keep an eye out for “pups” produced by the mother plant, which can easily be propagated to expand your jungle or add to someone else’s.
