Mother-in-tongue laws is a member of the same family as this plant. However, this design features thin, spear-shaped foliage that works well with contemporary decor. Even though it’s a little plant, it’s powerful.

Home care: Avoid overwatering this plant by only watering when the compost is nearly dry. Watering should be limited to once or twice a month in the winter and temperatures should be kept above 10°C. When the roots begin to split the pot, repot every few years until the roots are no longer splitting the container.
