Snake Plants are a member of the Lily Family, and are named for their striped, vibrant leaves, which mimic the scales of a serpent. They are evergreens native to Africa. While they can grow up to twelve feet tall, they're often kept as small houseplants because of their ease of care and durability, which has made them popular in recent years.
In China, they are kept inside for Feng Shui near the entrances of homes to promote the Eight Virtues- intelligence, prosperity, long life, art, beauty, poetry, strength and health.
