Sansevieria robusta

If you're in need of a low-maintenance house plant that is tolerant of human error, consider this Snake Plant. Low light will slow or stunt this plant's growth, but it can handle it. If you miss a watering or two, no problem. Haven't transplanted your Mother-in-Law's Tongue since you got it two years ago? No worries. About the only thing that will kill this tough nut off is too much water, so water thoroughly when the top two inches of soil is dry, then leave it alone. The only down side is that it is mildly toxic to animals and humans if ingested, but it still is considered one of the best air purifiers for the home!
