The Sansevieria Snake Plant is one of the best houseplants for beginners! Known for its tolerance to drought, capable of going for weeks without water, and tolerance to low lighting conditions, the Snake Plant thrives on neglect. As an added bonus, the Snake Plant even purifies the air around it, removing toxins like benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from its surroundings.
Varieties may include Sansevieria Trifasciata, Sansevieria Laurentii, Sansevieria Zeylanica, Sansevieria Cylindrica, Sansevieria Moonshine, Sansevieria Starfish, Sansevieria Hahnii, Sansevieria Black Gold, Sansevieria Superba (list is not exhaustive).
WARNING: The Snake Plant, though an air purifier, is itself poisonous. Keep out of reach of pets and small children.
