Fun Facts About Sansevieria Potted Plants
Originating from West Africa, the scientific name of the Sansevieria plant is Sansevieria Trifasciata. The second word, Trifasciata means “marked with three bands,” which is another way of saying the plant leaves have different coloured streaks.
Sansevierias have beautiful tall and narrow leaves that are sturdy, stiff and very pointy. The leaves can vary in colour from pale to dark green, green edged with yellow or light green and yellow. As the Sansevieria plant matures, the plant can even produce little delicate flower spikes in a pale green or yellowish color. This flowering is very unpredictable, and some plants may never flower.
In African culture, Sansevierias are known to provide spiritual protection and in Chinese culture, these plants are believed to bring prosperity and long life to the caretaker.
Top Living Decor Ideas for Sansevieria Potted Plants
Sansevieria plants like bright, indirect sunlight but can adapt to low light areas and require little attention, allowing them to be perfect for your office or home decor. These plants can compliment any style of living decor, and also look great in any arrangement with other plants.
If you’re looking for plants to pair with your Sansevieria potted plant, mini succulents in a cactus-shaped box pair well with the tall leaves from the Sansevieria plant. For a stylish look in your home, you could also grow multiple plants in different style pots and place them in a nice arrangement in a spot with indirect sunlight.
For smaller Sansevieria plants, place them on a round-style side table in your living room or on your office desk to add beauty and nature. Once your Sansevieria plant grows taller, it can fill up an empty space in the corner of your living room, office or your bedroom adding character and purifying the air.
