Sansevieria Trifasciata 'Moonshine’ | Mother-in-Law's Tongue

We love Sansevieria Trifasciata Moonshine for its eye-catching succulent for its looks and its ability to clean the air! There are about 70 varieties of Sansevieria, known as ‘snake plants’ because of the shape of their leaves.

Sansevieria Trifasciata Moonshine - or Mother in law’s tongue - is a large houseplant known for its ability to purify the air. It is very good at absorbing toxins such as nitrogen oxides and improving indoor air quality.

It is also a very easy-care houseplant, requiring little maintenance and it’s happy to sit in a spot with either bright light or shade.

It has long, stiff, vertical leaves and is a stylish plant with a sculptural look.

Sansevieria Trifasciata, or snake plants, were named ‘Office plant of the year’ in 2020 by a panel of judges focusing on plants for mental health, so if you’re looking for something to brighten up your home office, make you feel good and purify the air - and you’re wondering where to buy your snake plant - then you need look no further!

If someone is lucky enough to be receiving this houseplant as a gift, we can enclose a free, handwritten card with the delivery. We won’t include any paperwork either!
