Mother-in-Law's Tongue

As tough as they come, so if you're lacking in the green finger department, this is the plant for you. It can take low or high light, needs little water, is happy in a range of indoor temperatures and doesn't mind dry or humid air. Plus, it's a great air purifier, absorbing all sorts of nasties from household items such as cleaning products!

Like all members of the Sansevieria family, I am almost indestructible. I look similar to the Laurentii, but you can tell me apart because my leaves are short and wide, and grow in a rosette shape. I am sometimes called a bird's nest sansevieria.

Growing Pot Size: 12cm diameter

Overall plant height including growing pot: 25cm

Pets: Can cause stomach upset if ingested.

Fact: I may sit quietly for months and years at a time, but then one day, I'll throw a surprise at you, throwing out a slender flower stalk – straight up from the soil and covered in buds. After several days, creamy white lily-like flowers will open, with the most pleasantly sweet fragrance. If this happens take pictures because it may not happen again for years!
