SANSEVIERI­A

-

What a wonderful plant this is – you could (literally) throw the kitchen sink at it, neglect it and it’ll still grow, holding its own without a care in the world! Also known as mother-in-law’s tongue, it loves to be crammed in a pot, barely watered in a sunny spot and is virtually indestruct­ible. The only way it could possibly be compromise­d is if you leave it outside in summer to lots of rain, as it thrives on staying dry. It’s not a dull plant either – its leaf variegatio­n and upright habit is rather striking.
