This live snake plant, also known as Ceylon bowstring hemp or devil’s tongue, exhibits an upright form of variegated sword-shaped leaves that taper to points.
The leaves are a striped mix of dark green and light gray-green. Native to Sri Lanka, this plant is difficult to kill and will survive drought or dimly lit environments. Display by itself, with other snake plants, or complement and contrast with different houseplants as well as decorative elements.
Put simply, this snake plant has a knack for enhancing the feel-good, stress-relieving urban jungle vibes of plant-friendly home décor. While it’s heralded for handling low-light spaces, you can absolutely place the plant in moderate- to bright-light spots. You can also grow it outside in sun to shade as long as temperatures are mostly on the mild to warm side.
