Dorm room plants: Snake plant

As a student, you might not have a mother-in-law yet, but the Snake Plant, or "mother-in-law's tongue" might be the perfect plant for your dorm room anyway. Easy to care for, this plant won't be going anywhere no matter how much you try to ignore it!

While it prefers bright sunlight, it will also grow in fairly dark rooms, and won't hog your water. From spring to fall, you only need to water it once the soil becomes dry, and in the winter, it only needs water every 1-2 months!

The one caution I should include is that by watering too much or too often, the plant will easily begin to rot. Still, as long as you can avoid being a stalker, your Snake Plant will thrive. In fact, it's even a good air purifier!
