Nicknamed 'Snake Plant' or 'Mother-in-Law's Tongue,' this West African native is legendary for being indestructible. NASA's Clean Air Study found it uniquely converts CO2 to oxygen at night (unlike most plants), making it perfect for bedrooms. It can tolerate extreme neglect, surviving months without water, low light, and temperature swings. One of the few plants that actually prefers being ignored. Its upright, sword-like leaves symbolize strength and resilience.
