Near IndestructibleSnake Plant
Sansevieria trifasciata
The Snake Plant is the definition of low-maintenance. Its stiff, upright leaves with striking yellow margins and mottled green patterns make it a bold architectural statement in any room. It tolerates neglect, low light, and irregular watering better than almost any other houseplant — and it purifies the air while you sleep.
