Plant Bio

The Sansevieria, or snake plant, is a tropical but succulent plant native to southern and central Africa. This compact Moonshine hybrid has lighter green, almost silvery, foliage. Often positioned as low light plants, Snake Plants prefer medium to bright light plants but can tolerate low light. Like other succulent plants, they have a modified form of photosynthesis, where in order to preserve water, the plant opens its pores exclusively at night. However, since photosynthesis only happens with daylight, the plant stores carbon dioxide acquired at night for use during the day, and releases oxygen (one of the end products of photosynthesis) at night when the pores open. This helps it to maximize efficiency in cleaning the air, as found in a study conducted by NASA.
