Sansevieria
Sansevieria is commonly known as Snake Plant; Mother-in-law's tongue; Viper's bowstring hemp.
The Snake Plant is an evergreen perennial forming a clump of stiff, upright, sword-shaped variegated deep green leaves with pale grey-green banding. Racemes of small, sticky, tubular pale greenish-white to cream, occasionally fragranced flowers may appear in summer or autumn.
If you’ve never taken care of a plant before and want an easy start, the snake plant is the one for you. You’d have to try pretty hard to actually kill one. It thrives on neglect, responding best to the lightest of watering and then just being left alone. This plant is a good air purifier so would be a great bedroom plant as it stores up oxygen throughout the day, then releases it all at night. This plant is mildly toxic to baby/pets if digested.
Care Instructions:
Watering: Doesn't require much water. Water when soil feels dry, about every few weeks. Less in winter.
Light Conditions: Thrives in almost all light conditions (though not a windowless room). More is better, but anything is fine.
Dusting: Every now and again - just whenever you remember - give the leaves a light wipe to keep the pores free of dust.
