Dracaena trifasciata

species of plant

Dracaena trifasciata (also known as "Mother-in-law's tongue", "Saint George's sword" or the "snake plant") is a plant that can grow in many places. It is a desert plant from dry Africa. It is a succulent that stores water in its very thick, tough leaves. That means that it does not need to be watered every day. It does not need sunlight to grow and can stay in the same pot for many years. This plant grows better with less water than more water.
