Scientific Name: Sansevieria
Common Name: Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law's Tongue

Snake Plants are a very popular houseplant, especially for beginners. They are also at the top of the list on NASA's air purifying houseplants study!

What makes the snake plant such an easy care plant is that they can survive (and sometimes even thrive) in a variety of different conditions. They don't mind low light conditions, prefer infrequent watering, and also don't mind drying out before getting watered again. That being said, they do thrive in brighter light locations, so if you really want your Snake Plant to take off, they love the light!

The Bird's Nest Snake Plant has a smaller, more compact growth pattern, and we carry a variety of variations of the Bird's Nest so yours might not look exactly like the photos, but please let us know if you have preference on the variegation and we will do our best!

Basic Care Notes: Water when soil is completely dry. DO NOT OVERWATER. Snake Plants can tolerate being dry far more than being too wet. If you water too often, your Snake Plant will quite possibly get root rot. In most indoor environments, this means every 3-4 weeks (give or take). They prefer lots of bright, indirect light, but can tolerate lower light situations, they just might not grow very much. Plant in chunky, well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix. 

***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos. but it will be just as beautiful!
