Description: THE PICTURE OF THE BIG PLANT IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY TO SHOW THE GROWTH POTENTIAL OF THIS KIND OF PLANT, WILL TAKE SEVERAL YEARS BUT WITH GOOD CARE WILL GET THERE Snake Plant Care – Mother in Laws Tongue (Dracaena) The mother in laws tongue (also known as Snake Plant, Saint George’s sword, mother-in-law’s tongue, and viper’s bowstring hemp) is a flowering species primarily grown for its slick sword-like long leaves. This is a slow-growing plant that anyone can grow because of its low and high sunlight tolerance and ease of watering. In indoor lighting, snake plants typically develop slowly, but adding more light will speed up growth if the plant gets a few hours of direct sunlight. The optimal time to plant and repot is in the spring. The only way growers can cause the Snake Plant serious problems is if they overwater or allow the plant to reside in very cold temperatures for long periods. This plant can also be sunburned from too much direct light (especially if temperatures are above 90F). Description of Mother in Laws Tongue PlantThe Dracaena trifasciata picked up the name mother in laws tongue from the sharpness of the evergreen sword-like leaves that grow in an upward fashion. While this plant can bloom if grown outside, it doesn’t bloom frequently and is very unlikely to produce a flower if grown as an indoor plant(not impossible).Varieties: There are several succulent type varieties available that include golden-edged leaves, white-edged, and the green and grayish mottled type. The golden-edged leaf S. trifasciata laurentii is the most common of these. Here is our Ultimate Guide to Snake Plant Types if you dare dive in.Flowering: Small greenish-white flowers can appear once this species matures in age. This seems like it happens by luck rather than effort for some growers. Keeping to the right conditions gives the plant a higher chance of buds and flowers appearing.Foliage: The tall leathery upright dark green leaves are what make this succulent visually appealing rather than the flowers that may appear. The leaves are fleshy, sit within a rosette arrangement, and can grow up to 3 feet tall.Air purifying: While all plants are air purifying, this particular plant purifies air-borne toxins. The snake plant is among the top plants tested for purification of indoor air and added to a list by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) for removing benzene, formaldehyde, and other harmful toxins.Poisonous for pets: If cats or dogs ingest parts of this plant, it can cause them to feel unwell, start vomiting, or have diarrhea. They are not highly toxic but still can cause uncomfortable symptoms.SNAKE PLANT CAREThe Snake Plant is a native plant from an arid area of the world, on the African continent, and it does not require daily care, is resistant to bad weather, high temperatures, or lack of water, and, as some say, even hard to kill. But like any plant, in order to grow, it must be watered at least once a month in winter and the rest only when the soil becomes dry.Potential Problem of Mother in Laws TongueBase rot: The most common cause here is over-watering in cold conditions, which the leaves yellowing or drooping may first identify. You will need to remove the most affected parts or discard the whole plant if all the base is completely affected.If you know you have not overwatered, check the room’s temperature because it may just be below 50°F (10°C), causing the rot. Remember to take cuttings for propagation if this happens.
