snake plant

Mother-in-law's tongue

Snake plant is a common houseplant with stiff, upright leaves that are typically dark green with lighter banding.

The leaves grow in a rosette pattern and can reach several feet tall.

Snake plants tolerate low light and irregular watering, making them popular for offices and neglected corners.

Also called mother-in-law's tongue, referring to the sharp-pointed leaves.
