How many times have you heard about a special indoor plant called the snake plant (or sansevieria, as I like to call it)? It’s one of the most special plants and they are popular in many households all over the world!
Sansevieria was the first plant that I brought into my home. I must admit that I picked it because of its stunning appearance! But as a gardening geek, I started digging into more interesting facts about it.
Guess what? Sansevieria won’t just be there for its magical appearance, this fascinating plant actually has so much more to offer. I know you’re probably curious now and wondering how in the world this plant can benefit you.
Well, I know six reasons why snake plants will become your favorite! Now you should check out all of them and see why this plant is a must for growing inside your home.
#1 Snake Plant Filters Air Day And Night In Your House
Let’s face it, the most important reason why you’ll need to grow a snake plant is because of its power to improve the air quality inside your home! Snake plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which makes your home the healthiest it’s ever been.
Snake plants will help you to start your day with fresh air to breath, making you feel more refreshed. You’ll be able to rest comfortably knowing that there are no toxins floating around your home, thanks to snake plants that take care of that for you!
#2 Your Allergy Symptoms Will Disappear
Are you tired of coughing and having a runny nose and watery eyes every day? Allergies can be the worst! Well, your allergy can be gone thanks to snake plants!
Snake plants can reduce allergens in the air, such as dust, that constantly float around your home. If you have allergies or asthma growing snake plants can be very helpful in reducing these annoying symptoms!
#3 You Won’t Have Sleep Problems With A Snake Plant Around
Imagine finally being able to wake up and feel rested without turning off your alarm ten times in a row. You won’t be running around your house getting ready and being late to work anymore!
Ever since I put snake plants on the nightstand, my sleep schedule has improved. I know it may sound funny, but it actually worked! So you should definitely try to place snake plants in your bedroom, too.
#4 Say Goodbye To Expensive Humidifiers
Searching for a humidifier for your home? Stop looking at these expensive devices that might not even work, instead you should get some snake plants!
The snake plant is a natural humidifier that will be perfect for your dry environment. This plant releases moisture, providing you with humidity that can keep your skin and throat from drying out! Isn’t that great?
#5 Snake Plants Can Boost Your Mental Health
Sometimes, all the pressure from work can make you feel a little bit under the weather. The busy lifestyle that you’re living can impact your mental health!
Adding a snake plant to your home can boost your mood and make you feel more relaxed, without any negative thoughts! Like every other indoor plant, sansevieria can reduce anxiety and put you in a zen state every time you walk past them.
#6 You’ll Get An Attractive Display For Years
Last but not least, the final reason you should grow a snake plant is that you’ll get wonderful decor! Sansevieria’s sword-shaped green and yellow leaves will fit perfectly in your home.
The snake plant can grow up to six feet tall, which is great for your big-leaf plant collection! Once your snake plants start blooming, their sweet, vanilla scent will make your home smell fantastic.
Isn’t sansevieria the most amazing plant you can grow indoors? You will get lots of benefits from growing this stunning plant, from boosting your health and improving air quality to having a natural humidifier in your house!
I must admit that the snake plant is my favorite houseplant (shh, don’t tell the others). Today is officially my third year of growing sansevieria, and I’m healthier and more positive since I brought this plant into my home!
Now is your time to make your house beautiful and start growing sansevieria. Trust me, once you see how amazingly a snake plant thrives, you’ll wish you had discovered this plant sooner!
