Sansevieria, commonly known as snake plants or mother-in-law’s tongue, is a hardy group of tropical plants native to Africa and now classified under the genus Dracaena. They’re famous for their tall, upright, sword-like leaves that often feature striking variegation. Snake plants are extremely resilient, tolerating low light and infrequent watering, making them perfect for beginners or busy plant enthusiasts. They’re also known for helping improve indoor air quality and add a bold, architectural look to any space.
