Sobre
Sansevieria, now reclassified as Dracaena trifasciata, is a perennial succulent in the family Asparagaceae, native to West Africa. Commonly known as the snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue, it is celebrated for its upright, sword-shaped leaves with striking horizontal banding in grey-green and darker green. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, requiring watering only once or twice a month. It thrives in bright light but tolerates deep shade, making it one of the most adaptable houseplants available. Sansevieria performs CAM photosynthesis, absorbing CO₂ at night, which has contributed to its reputation as a bedroom plant. NASA research has reported its ability to filter indoor air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene.
