Plant Details

• Scientific Name: Sansevieria trifasciata

• Common Names: Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, Viper’s Bowstring Hemp

• Family: Asparagaceae

• Type: Evergreen succulent perennial

• Height: 1–4 ft indoors; varies with cultivar

• Leaves: Upright, stiff, sword-shaped; variegated green with yellow or white edges depending on variety

Care Instructions

Sun Light

• Extremely adaptable: grows in bright indirect light, low light, or even partial shade.

• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight → can scorch leaves.

 Watering

• Low water needs (succulent).

• Water only when the soil is completely dry.

• Typically every 2–3 weeks indoors; less in winter.

• Overwatering → root rot (most common problem).

 Soil

• Well-draining soil mix: Cactus/succulent mix works best.

• Can mix garden soil + sand + perlite for good drainage.

• pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6–7).

Fertilizer

• Use balanced liquid fertilizer (10:10:10 or 20:20:20) during growing season (spring–summer).

• Feed once a month at half strength.

• Organic options: Diluted vermicompost tea or fish emulsion every 6–8 weeks.

• Stop feeding in fall and winter → plant growth slows.

 Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove dried or damaged leaves at the base.

• Repot every 2–3 years; snakes prefer being slightly root-bound.

• Minimal maintenance otherwise → ideal for beginners.

 Uses

1. Ornamental: Excellent indoor decor for homes and offices.

2. Air Purifier: NASA study shows Snake Plants remove formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, and trichloroethylene.

3. Low Maintenance: Perfect for busy or forgetful plant owners.

 Caution:

• Mildly toxic to pets if ingested (causes nausea or vomiting).
