(POT SOLD SEPARATELY)

dimensions:

Comes in a plastic 12cm diameter pot and plant is approximately 25-30cm high.

benefits: 

Air cleaning and purifying and made NASA's recommended list in a recent clean air study due to it's natural ability to remove toxins from the environment- such as your apartment or office! Many plants take in oxygen at night, but this one gives it off at night making it perfect addition to your bedroom!

light: FLEXIBLE

Flexible and happy in varying natural light conditions from full sun to light shade.

care: EASY

Spring and summer months, keep the plant's soil moist, but not wet, about once every 10-14 days. Over winter, allow it to dry out completely before watering moderately- roughly once a month. 

nicknames:

mother-in-law's tongue, devil's tongue, jinn's tongue, bow string hemp, snake plant and snake tongue.

tip:

Doesn't need repotting until roots have completely filled the pot to the bottom and then it can be divided if you choose and repotted individually. 

pets:

If ingested, can cause upset stomach among dogs and cats so best to keep it out of their reach. I have mine at my dogs reach, but my dog is a plant lover not a chewer :-)
