Sansevieria zeylanica, also known as Ceylon Bowstring Hemp, is a tough, upright houseplant prized for its architectural form and extreme resilience. With its long, sword-like leaves marked by dark green, wavy bands and subtle silvery striping, it brings a modern, sculptural look to any interior. Often confused with the more common Sansevieria trifasciata (Mother-in-Law’s Tongue), zeylanica is slightly more understated in its markings and has a looser, more natural growth habit.
Native to Sri Lanka and parts of Southeast Asia, this plant thrives on neglect—making it ideal for busy plant owners or low-light rooms. It tolerates drought, needs minimal feeding, and can handle a range of indoor conditions, including lower humidity and inconsistent watering. Sansevieria zeylanica is also known for its air-purifying qualities, contributing to cleaner indoor air while demanding very little in return. Whether used as a statement plant or part of a larger display, it’s a reliable, low-fuss addition to any plant collection.
