The Sansevieria, a succulent native to Africa and Madagascar, is actually an ideal houseplant for colder climates. It is a great plant for beginners and travelers because they are low maintenance, can stand low light, and are tolerant of drought. Colloquially, it is commonly known as the Snake Plant or Snake Plant Whitney.
This plant is good for the home, particularly bedrooms and other main living areas, as it acts as an air purifier. In fact, the plant was part of a clean air plant study that NASA led. The Snake Plant Whitney removes potential air toxins, like formaldehyde, which provides fresher air in the home.
