mother-in-law's tongue
Sturdy indoor succulent
Mother-in-law's tongue is a common houseplant with stiff, upright, sword-shaped leaves—often variegated with yellow edges.
The name alludes to sharp tongues and pointed remarks stereotypically attributed to mothers-in-law.
Also called snake plant.
The mother-in-law's tongue in the corner needs almost no water.
