ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
We love Sansevieria trifasciata, better known as the Snake Plant or Mother-in-law’s Tongue, for its sculptural, upright leaves and effortless style. Native to West Africa, this baby succulent is one of the easiest houseplants you can grow indoors. With bold, vertical foliage and incredible resilience, it brings modern elegance to any room while thriving on very little care.
Buying it as a gift? We’ll include a free handwritten card — just add your message at checkout. We’ll wrap it with care and leave out the paperwork or price tags, creating a lovely surprise for the recipient.
Native habitat and growth pattern
Sansevieria trifasciata comes from tropical West Africa, from Nigeria east to the Congo. In its native habitat, it survives tough conditions with minimal water and poor soils. Indoors, it grows in a neat clump with stiff, sword-like leaves that point upwards, giving it a strong, architectural look.

FAQs
Why is it called Mother-in-law’s Tongue?
Its long, sharp, upright leaves are said to resemble a pointed tongue.
How often should I water my Snake Plant?
Only when the soil is completely dry — usually every 2–3 weeks, depending on conditions.
Can Snake Plants grow in low light?
Yes — they’re one of the most adaptable houseplants and will tolerate low-light corners.
Why are the leaves of my Snake Plant wrinkling?
This usually means it’s too dry. Give it a good soak, then let it dry out again before the next watering.
