AKA Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, Viper’s Bowstring Hemp
Care: Almost Unkillable
Light Levels: They can handle a range of light conditions and will adapt to a brighter or shadier spot, however, direct sun will cause some damage to the leaf edges and you want to make sure they won’t become too cold in a darker place.
Water + Humidity: This plant truly thrives when it is ignored and neglected, allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings and only water once it has completely dried again. Pop some plant food into the watering schedule around once a month during the summer and these plants will just keep getting better!
Pet / Baby Safe: Toxic if ingested.
Air Purification: Yes, and as it stores up oxygen throughout the day and releases it through the night, this plant is great for a bedroom!
Suitable for Plant Beginner: Yes, definitely.
