Sansevieria, commonly known as snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue, is a genus of hardy, drought-tolerant plants native to regions of West Africa, East Africa, and parts of Asia. Known for their tall, upright, sword-like leaves, Sansevierias are favored for their striking appearance and ease of care. These plants have evolved to survive in arid environments, exhibiting adaptations such as thick, fleshy leaves that store water and a waxy surface to minimize moisture loss.

Care Tips:

• Lighting: Tolerates a wide range of lighting conditions, from bright, indirect light to low light, making them versatile indoor plants.
• Watering: Very drought-tolerant; only water when the soil is completely dry, typically once every few weeks. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 15°C to 24°C (60°F to 75°F). Protect from cold drafts and frost.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil, such as cactus or succulent mixes, to prevent waterlogging.
• Maintenance: Minimal pruning is needed; regular removal of dead or damaged leaves helps maintain appearance.

Known for their air-purifying qualities, Sansevierias are popular choices for homes and offices, combining aesthetic appeal with resilience and low-maintenance needs.
