Sansevieria is also known as Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law’s Tongue. This popular and versatile plant is perfect for any home or workplace. This plant is loved for its low maintenance requirements and unique appearance.
Due to size of the plant there are some cosmetic damages visable on leaves which do not impact health of the plant. Please purchase if you are happy about it.
Sansevieria plants have long, narrow leaves that grow vertically from the base of the plant. The leaves are also thick and fleshy, which allows them to store water and makes them tolerant to periods of drought.
Sansevieria is an ideal choice for low-light areas, as it can tolerate both bright and low-light conditions. It is also drought-tolerant, meaning it requires very little watering and is an excellent choice for those who may forget to water their plants regularly.
Sansevieria plants have been shown to remove harmful toxins from the air, making them a valuable addition to any indoor space.

☀️ Light
