The snake plant, scientifically known as Sansevieria trifasciata, is a remarkable indoor plant renowned for its striking appearance and numerous benefits to human health. Native to West Africa, this hardy succulent has earned its common name due to its long, sword-like leaves that grow upright and resemble the patterns on a snake’s skin.
One of the most notable attributes of the snake plant is its air-purifying prowess. It is known to effectively remove common indoor pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene, making it an excellent addition to homes and offices. Its ability to release oxygen at night, unlike most plants, also contributes to improved air quality and better sleep, making it a popular choice for bedrooms.
