Snake Plant

Brief Description

Snake plants are evergreen perennials with stiff, upright leaves that grow anywhere from 6 inches to several feet tall. The leaves are typically dark green with light gray-green horizontal stripes and can vary in shape and size depending on the specific variety.

Care Instructions

Snake plants are very low-maintenance. They prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry. They are susceptible to root rot, so avoid overwatering. Plant in well-draining soil and use a pot with drainage holes.

Medicinal Value

While traditionally used in some cultures for medicinal purposes, there is limited scientific evidence to support significant medicinal benefits of snake plants. Some traditional uses include treating bug bites and wounds, but it is not recommended for self-treatment and should not replace professional medical advice.
