SNAKE PLANT – SANSEVIERIA
Snake plant, is a popular and hardy houseplant with stiff, sword-like leaves from six inches to 12 feet tall in its native habitat but usually reaches two feet tall when grown indoors. They vary in color but many have green-banded or striped leaves with a yellow or cream border. Snake plants are easy to grow and are nearly indestructible. They grow slowly indoors, adapting to both bright light and low-light corners, however a few hours of early morning direct sun can boost growth. Planting and repotting is best done in the spring. Snake plant is toxic to cats and dogs.
The snake plant is a popular choice of planting material and fits in well with the UAE climate as it requires little maintenance, making it ideal for those with very busy lifestyles. It has an architectural character and works well in combination with both new-age landscape designs and minimalist decor, making it an excellent option for landscape design in Dubai or the UAE.

The snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) is a low-maintenance plant and is therefore among the most popular types of interior plants. The plant is typically watered every 2 - 4 months depending on the house environment and should be planted in very well-drained soil. Snake plants do well in a variety of light conditions, but they will thrive from low to full sun. Snake plants (Sansevieria spp.) are extremely hardy and resilient plants; they would be very suitable for use in residential landscaping, commercial landscape development, and sustainable landscape design projects in Dubai (or other areas of the UAE where low-maintenance landscape plant materials are in high demand). Overwatering is typically the only problem with snake plants. Always ensure that the surface of the soil is allowed to dry fully before watering again.
