Sansevieria // Trifasciata
Common name: snake plant
This plant is native to West Africa but widely naturalized in south-eastern USA, the Caribbean and on several Pacific islands.
This is a succulent that thrives on neglect so it's perfect for beginners. While most plants take away oxygen at night, this one gives off oxygen and makes for a great plant for your bedroom. A lesser known fact about this species is that it flowers, although that's pretty rare in indoor conditions. These plants can handle low-light well but the intricate patterns on their leaves get far more pronounced if they live in brighter rooms.
