My Snake

When you're the family historian, you end up looking up things that are old.  Like finding a record of your great grandfather's great grandfather. He married in 1820.  Yeah, old stuff.

But in the make me smile category, I bought my snake plant when I moved into my home 16 years ago.  And its still alive! (lol) 

The only plant that has survived me ... 


Dracaena trifasciata, commonly known as the snake plant, is a popular, low-maintenance houseplant known for its tall, sword-like leaves with green and yellow or white stripes.   Can grow up to 4 feet tall, but indoor plants are often smaller. 

In Feng Shui, it is believed to bring good luck and protection when placed near entrances. 

It sits in my bay window, always has. They don't like a lot of water, and I have discovered that giving it a few ice cubes creates a slow drink.  Helps me not to over water!!
