Snake Plant 'Zeylanica' in ceramic pot

Sansevieria zeylanica, commonly known as the Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law's Tongue, is a hardy, low-maintenance houseplant with tall, sword-like leaves featuring gray-green horizontal stripes. It's known for being drought-tolerant, adaptable to various light conditions (from low to bright indirect), and an excellent air purifier, making it ideal for beginners and offices. Care involves infrequent watering (letting soil dry out completely) and well-draining soil, with a preference for temperatures between 60-80°F
