About Sansevieria: Snake plants are originally from tropical grasslands and native to West Africa. Snake Plants are easy to care for houseplants for beginners. They can survive in lower light conditions but thrive in bright light.
How to care for your Snake Plant:
Difficulty: Very Easy
Light: Likes bright indirect, can tolerate low light.
Humidity: Low humidity is fine.
Watering: Water when completely dry.
Snake plants improve the environment in your home or office by:
- Purifying the air. According to NASA, snake plants filter indoor air, removing 4 of the 5 main toxins involved in the effects of sick building syndrome
- Releasing oxygen at night. Like Cacti, snake plants preserve water by transpiration at night, releasing oxygen. This makes them one of the best plants for your bedroom.
- Creating good Feng Shui. Spiky plants are excellent for shielding you against negative Chi. Their aggressive energy means you should place them in low-traffic areas.
Other Names for Snake Plants: Saint George's sword, mother-in-law's tongue, and viper's bowstring hemp, Dracaena trifasciata.

About care instructions
Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.
Water: 2-4 weeks
Let the plant dry out completely between watering - water when the pot is completely dry. Make sure to plant in fast-draining soil with a drainage hole for best results. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 2-4 weeks.
Sun: shaded light
This plant requires medium light. It can tolerate low light, but it wants to see a bit of sun every day. Placing it in a north-facing or east-facing window would be ideal. While it will survive your dark corners, it won't thrive in them. In the summer, you can place them outside in a shady area.
Humidity: low
This plant doesn't care about how humid it is. It will work perfectly fine near that vent you want to cover up.
