Sansevieria trifasciata, commonly called snake plant or mother-in-law’s tongue, is native to tropical western Africa. It is a stemless evergreen perennial that, with proper care, will last for many years. In its native habitat, plant foliage may rise to as much as 4’ tall, but is often smaller (to 2’ tall) on indoor plants. Erect, fleshy, sharply-pointed, sword-shaped leaves are deep green with light gray-green horizontal stripes. Leaves rise stiffly in a rosette from a thick rhizome. Small, fragrant, greenish-white flowers bloom on mature plants in spring, followed by orange berries. Flowers and fruit rarely appear on indoor plants.

Maintenance
Light : Even though Sansevierias prefer medium light (which is about 10′ away from the west or south window), they’ll also tolerate low light and high light. How versatile they are!
Temperatur :ا Sansevierias will tolerate a wide range of temperatures in our homes. I have 1 in a pot outdoors which does fine. We get very hot here in the desert in the summer and a handful of evenings can dip below freezing in the winter. ه
Water: Water your Snake Plants every 2-8 weeks. The watering schedule will vary for you depending on your home environment, type of soil mix, and pot size.
خاک : برای این گیاه خاک با بافت متوسط که زهکشی متوسط جهت رشد این گیاه مناسب است. ترکیب خاک معمولی و خاک برگ به همراه شن جهت رشد آن خوب خواهد بودخاک با بافت متوسط که زهکش مناسبی نیز دارد محیط خوبی برای رشد این گیاه فراهم میکند. مثلا می توان از مخلوط خاک معمولی + خاک برگ و یا مخلوط این دو به همراه مقداری شن استفاده کرد.
