Snake plant
虎尾兰

The Snake plant, also known as Mother-in-law’s Tongue, needs little light to grow. Juliette Vass, owner of New York-based online plant store My City Plants, says it “can literally survive in a closet”. You can even just leave this plant in a pot for years, allowing the roots to multiply into a thick clump. It has long and variegated leaves with deep green centers and light yellow edges. Its flowers are small and white, but it rarely blooms.
虎尾兰,又名岳母舌,只需极少阳光就能成长。朱丽叶•瓦什是纽约一家名为“我的城市植物”的植物网店店主,她将虎尾兰描述为“完全可以在壁橱里存活”的植物。你甚至可以将其放置在花盆中几年不管,任其根茎丛生。虎尾兰的叶子呈长条状,颜色斑驳不一,中部呈深绿色,两端则为亮黄色。它的花苞小巧莹白,却鲜少开放。
Care tips
温馨护理贴士
Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Don’t overwater, because it will cause leaf and crown rot. It tolerates low light but performs best with medium to bright light. It doesn’t need fertilizer. Any normal room temperature should suit it just fine. Remember to prune out any damaged leaves so the overall plant looks better.
在土壤稍干之后浇水。切勿过度浇水,否则会导致叶子和花冠腐烂。虎尾兰耐阴,但在中强光下会长得更好。此外,它还不需要施肥,常温下即可生长。记得减去枯枝烂叶,让整株植物更好看。
