STEEM PLANTS CONTEST: Week #14 Submission Post - My Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata)

in hive-171319 •  4 years ago 

Hello my fellow Steemitians in Steem BRU !! Today I like to write about the plant which is in my workstation.

This is Dracaena trifasciata, popularly known as Snake Plant in India.

This plant is found in many part of the world and also known as Saint George's Sword or Viper's Bowstring Hemp or Mother-in-law's tongue (!).

I collected this plant from Bandhabgarh. This plant was there outside the cottage we were staying. We asked the manager of our resort and he gladly provided us cutting of this plant.

The Snake plant works as natural air-purifier. The plant absorb carbon di-oxide from air and returns oxygen in air even at night (by Crassulacean acid metabolism technique). The plant also absorbs benzene, xylene, formaldehyde, toluene and other carcinogenic substances. This was established in NASA Clean Air Study.

I have placed this plant in pot filled with dry soil. I water them once in a month or when the soil dried up.

On the occasion of world environment day, I strongly urge everyone to plant more trees and make our planet a greener one.
