Snake plants improve the environment in your home or office by:

• purifying the air. Snake plants filter indoor air, removing 4 of the 5 main toxins involved in the effects of sick building syndrome, according to NASA
• releasing oxygen at night. Like Cacti, snake plants preserve water by transpiration at night, releasing oxygen. This makes them one of the best plants for your bedroom.
• creating good Feng Shui. Spiky plants are excellent for shielding you against negative Chi. Their aggressive energy means you should place them in low-traffic areas.
