**Scientific Name** Sansevieria This Genus was recently reclassified to Dracaena from Sansevieria, following molecular examination which revealed that it is closely enough related to be part of this Genus. **Common Name** Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law's Tongue, Devil's Tongue, Snake Tongue, St. George's Sword **Origin** Native to West Africa **Light** Snake plants are hugely flexible with lighting, as the positioning of their leaves allows them to maximise any light. While they can survive even in the dimmest of rooms, they will thrive best in bright, indirect light, but you can even place them in direct sun as long as you let them build a tolerance gradually! **Water** Allow the soil to totally dry out between waters. Be especially careful if your Snake Plant is in a darker spot as it will need much less frequent watering there than on a sunny windowsill. **Humidity** Low humidity is ideal for Snake Plants, though an occational hose down to keep the leaves dust-free will be appreciated.
