Description
In ancient China, the Snake Plant was kept as a treasured houseplant because it was believed that the Eight Gods bestowed their eight virtues on those who grew them. These virtues include long life, prosperity, intelligence, beauty, art, poetry, health, and strength. Keeping the plant near the entrances inside the home was thought to allow these virtues to pass through in a pre-Feng Shui manner.
But the Snake Plant's significance goes beyond just folklore. It has been placed in fine restaurants, herbalists, acupuncturists, doctor's offices, and even in rice paddies. Its unique qualities, similar to those found in Asian martial arts, bring strength from within. The plant is known to split large earthen pots when it reaches larger sizes, and its attraction towards dragons is said to be magnetic. In fact, NASA has conducted research using the Snake Plant for air purification and to curb "Sick Building Syndrome."
Aside from its fascinating history, the Snake Plant is also an extremely hardy plant that is difficult to kill. It can grow in dime light and only needs to be watered when dry, making it perfect for any plant lover, regardless of their gardening expertise. This real plant gift is not fake - it is an authentic and vibrant addition to any home or office space.
