Sansevieria zeylanica
mother-in-law's tongue or snake plant
This must be one of the easiest houseplants to grow being tough and near indestructable, yet it is still stylish, simple and loved by interior designers. Clump forming with strong, broad, sword-like grey-green leaves which are crossbanded with a darker green, it’s the perfect plant for modern homes and busy lifestyles.
It is quite common for these plants to have small nicks or scars on their leaves. This does not affect their long-term health or vigour in any way.
Please note that the plant comes in a 14cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Sansevieria zeylanica:
The main thing to avoid with this plant is overwatering, so only water (avoiding the crown) when the compost gets quite dry. In winter you can cut back even more and only water every month or two and keep temperatures above 10°C. Repot every few years when the roots start to split the pot.
