Visually pleasing and aptly named due to its appearance, the snake plant rules the houseplant wishlist. From the genus, Sansevieria, there are around 60-70 species of the ‘snake plant’. And not all species are made the same— they vastly differ in terms of origin, soil preference, and outward traits. Sansevieria’s range from desertous, sandy-soil-loving, thick-leafed succulents to that familiar tropical tongue-shaped plant with thin, flat, upright leaves. Adaptable, durable, versatile, beautiful, stylish—sansevierias check all the boxes. They grow in a wide range of conditions, feature unique banding or edging, and have an attractive upright form that fits any interior design aesthetic. They are one of the easiest houseplants to grow because of their low water requirement, tolerance to low light conditions, and slow growth rate. And rarely, if ever, do you have to prune them. Some even have wonderfully fragrant flowers
