bowstring hemp
Description
Sansevieria hyacinthoides, commonly called the African Spear or Mother-in-Law's Tongue, features tall, cylindrical leaves that emerge from the base of the plant. The leaves are usually variegated with green and yellow or cream bands. It is a very low-maintenance plant. It tolerates a wide range of conditions. It thrives in bright, indirect light. Sansevieria hyacinthoides is drought-tolerant and prefers infrequent watering. These plants are known for their air-purifying qualities, which makes them popular houseplants. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so let the soil dry out completely between waterings. They are easy to propagate from leaf cuttings.
