Sansevieria trifasciata var. laurentii mother-in-law’s tongue or variegated snake plant

If you have never grown a house plant before and are looking for something that is virtually indestructible, then look no further – as this is probably the toughest and most tolerant house plant you can find. It’s a good-looker too, with attractively patterned leaves that don’t flop or spread. It’s great for tight spaces, or where you want something upright.

Please note: it is quite common for these plants to have small nicks or scars on their leaves. This does not affect their long-term health or vigour in any way.
