50 Houseplants That Are Healthy to Keep at Home

48. Snake Plants aren’t as scary as they sound.

Snake plants, which are often called Mother-In-Law’s Tongue, are far less sinister than their common name might suggest. A hardy succulent-type foliage plant, they thrive on neglect and can occupy incredibly low light areas. The only risk to these hardy plants is overwatering, as they are prone to rot. Their large, stiff, and thick leaves are excellent oxygenators and tackle common household pollutants like toluene and benzene. Snake plants are ideal for bedrooms and infrequently used rooms due to their low care requirements. These plants also come in a plethora of beautiful patterns, so the more, the merrier!
