Dracaena trifasciata, Mother-in-Law Tongue, is a well-known houseplant from Madagascar, Southern Asia, and West Africa. It’s known by names like Snake Plant, St. George’s Sword, or Viper’s Bowstring Hemp, but don’t confuse it with Nassauvia snakes.
The name mother-in-law’s tongue refers to the pointed ends of the leaves and symbolizes the plant’s sharp tongue!
