There are 70+ species of the snake plant. They are all native to tropical and sub-tropical regions of Europe, Africa, and Asia. Caring for this plant is very straightforward. These plants can be ignored for weeks at a time and still look cute!
Some species can grow up to 8 feet tall! This one is about 1 foot. It’s a thin variation, while some snake plants are thicker. They are very low maintenance plants and can tolerate most indoor conditions.
With their ability to survive in low light and drought they are the perfect houseplants for someone looking for an easy plant to start with. They have very few insect problems too! The best part, according to NASA research, snake plants can help keep the air inside your home clean. This plant helps with removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene.
While this one wasn’t in the best condition when I got it, it’s done a full 360 and looks great. It has new life growing and looks super healthy. I snapped this photo when I went to the office to check on my plants and this guy was thriving!
