Sansevieria cylindrical (Snake Plant)

snake plant
Looking for a plant that is unusual and easy to care for—maybe for Father’s Day? Why not try this little gem? It’s a succulent, originating in Angola. It’s pretty easy to see why it has the name Snake Plant. The “leaves” are cylindrical and grow up to 5 feet long.

It is very easy to take care of. In the Summer it should be watered once every couple of months. In the winter, maybe once every three or four months. It does best indoors with very little water. The plant does flower, usually once a year, and the flowers are quite fragrant, but it is the unusual beauty of the leaves that attracts most people to this plant.

Why not add a little diversity to your indoor plant collection? Visser’s Florist & Greenhouses sells this beauty for $9.99. Come on in and pick one up today.
