Origin
The Sansevieria Laurentii, also known as the 'snake plant', originates from West Africa. This plant belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is native to countries like Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroon. The name 'Laurentii' is a tribute to Belgian botanist Maurice Laurent.

Characteristics
One of the most distinctive characteristics of the Sansevieria Laurentii is its long, pointed leaves with a yellow-edged green. These can grow up to 1 meter high. The leaves are thick and fleshy, this feature helps the plant to retain water, making it particularly tolerant during drought periods. Due to its slow growth, it is unlikely to outgrow its pot quickly.

Care
When it comes to care, the Sansevieria Laurentii is an easy plant. It prefers well-drained soil and enjoys both bright and indirect light, although it can also survive in low light conditions. Watering should be done sparingly but deeply, once a week during the growing season and only once a month or less during the winter. As with most plants, overwatering can lead to root rot.
