The snake plant is a common houseplant native to Asia and Africa. It is distinguished by its evergreen sword-shaped leaves that grow straight and resemble artificial foliage, and it requires little water to survive.
Snake plants, like other household succulents, help to filter indoor air. This plant is special since it is one of the few plants that can transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen at night.
Snake plants are also known for their ability to help remove toxic air pollutants. In small amounts, snake plants can absorb cancer-causing pollutants such as CO2, benzene, formaldehyde, etc.
Snake plants can withstand both shade and intense sunlight, as well as flooding, drafts, and dry air. They also do not require repotting on a regular basis.
Snake plants can help reduce the impact of airborne allergens like dust and dander by releasing oxygen and adding moisture to the air.
There are ways to decorate your home with plants, but with snake plants, there are so many. The architectural and tall-shaped leaves of the snake plant make it perfect for corners of the home and office.
