Better known as "mother-in-law's tongue" or "snake plant", sansevieria is not as threatening as it sounds. Instead, it filters toxic substances such as formaldehyde, trichlorethylene, benzene, toluene, etc., which are released into the air from common items such as ink, foam or plastic bags. It produces oxygen throughout the day, and even more at night, which makes it your ideal ally in the bedroom.
