A plant endorsed by NASA
In a well-known study on indoor air quality, NASA ranked the Sansevieria among the top air-purifying plants.
What sets it apart? Unlike most plants that stop producing oxygen at night, the Sansevieria continues to release oxygen 24 hours a day thanks to its CAM metabolism. It’s an ideal plant for bedrooms!
The little-known benefits of Sansevieria for body and mind
1. A natural shield against indoor pollution
Mother-in-law’s tongue effectively filters:
Formaldehyde (found in furniture, fabrics, adhesives)
Benzene (household cleaners, plastics)
Xylene and toluene (paints, solvents, varnishes)
The result: cleaner indoor air—silently, effortlessly, and without the need for maintenance.
2. Better sleep? Yes, it’s possible.
At night, this plant continues releasing oxygen. Many people report falling asleep faster and enjoying more restful nights when a Sansevieria is placed in their bedroom. Its natural transpiration also helps regulate humidity levels, which may reduce snoring, sore throats, and discomfort during the night.
