Should You Grow Snake Plants Indoors?

The answer is YES. Snake plants, also known as “Mother-in-Law’s Tongue” and Sansevieria, can grow up to 50 – 60 cm tall. Snake plants are native to tropical regions of Nigeria. There are many different varieties of snake plants, such as variegated snake plants, golden snake plants, red snake plants, etc. They are one of the easiest and most low-maintenance houseplants to grow. When in bloom, snake plants produce clusters of flowers that grow from the base and have round-shaped fruits.

In Feng Shui, snake plants are believed to have good effects in warding off evil spirits, bad luck, and misfortune in life.

The sword-like shape of the snake plant leaves is seen as a symbol of power and authority, which helps ward off negative energy and bring positive energy to a family. The strong and upright appearance of the plant is a symbol of nobility and prestige.

Furthermore, snake plants are also a meaningful gift to wish luck and success to friends and family. They can also be given to business partners as a symbol of success and prosperity.

To maximize the Feng Shui benefits, it is important to find a suitable position for the plant. A good position will bring more luck and favorable outcomes in both work and life.
