Architectural, low-maintenance plant
The Snake Plant is a top pick for low-light rooms and busy owners due to its tolerance for neglect and striking upright leaves.
The Snake Plant (Sansevieria / Dracaena trifasciata) is an iconic, architectural houseplant renowned for hardiness and vertical sword-like leaves. It tolerates a broad range of light conditions, from low indoor light to bright, indirect sun, making it a top choice for offices, low-light rooms, and modern interiors. Its upright habit creates a strong sculptural presence and pairs well with softer-leaved plants.
Snake Plants require minimal watering—allow soil to dry out between waterings and avoid overwatering which can cause root rot. Use a well-draining potting mix designed for succulents, and provide moderate light for optimal leaf variegation. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season. These plants are exceptionally forgiving and can remain healthy with infrequent care, making them excellent gifts or starter plants.
Often recommended for interior spaces due to their air-purifying tendencies, Snake Plants are sturdy choices for bedrooms, living rooms, and offices. Their upright form works well in corners, beside furniture, or in tall planters to create a focal point. Pair with trailing plants or textural companions to soften architectural lines.
Propagate by division during repotting or from leaf cuttings; divided clumps will re-establish quickly in fresh soil. With low watering and correct light, a Snake Plant can live for many years, gradually increasing in size and providing reliable, low-effort greenery for busy lifestyles.
