A succulent plant with a slender, rigid and erect shape, it is also nicknamed the snake plant for this reason. Zeylanica has silvery green leaves crossed horizontally with wavy and uneven dark green lines. Also mother-in-law's tongue has a good reputation, it is nicknamed that, because it is said that it is ''not killable''. It is actually recognized as the easiest plant to care for in the world. It adapts well to all conditions. It thrives where many plants would be miserable, in any light, even the darkest. It prefers full sun, which will make it stronger and straighter and its patterns more marked. Its shape is truly unique, resembling swords, straight and strong, it can reach a height of 45 to 100 cm. It becomes tall, but does not exceed the width of its pot, which is practical for places with more limited space. It gives a refined and modern look even though it has been cultivated for a very long time. It multiplies by creating shoots at its base, thus filling its pot with leaves. It can be divided like this, by replanting its offspring, but it likes to be very cramped in its pot. She hates excess water, so we must wait until the soil is completely dry before watering, and we never leave water in the saucer.
