Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

No indoor garden should be without the rugged good looks of the Snake Plant (Sansevieria trisfasciata). With erect, sword-shaped leaves, it offers a perfect counterbalance to more delicate, rounded or creeping plants.
You’ll love the look! Just style it with your favorite chosen container and it will work to enhance the beauty of modern, rustic, Asian, industrial chic and contemporary decor.
Use several plants placed in a long row. For a modern look, repeat the use of the same style of container. Or, for an interesting curated collection, try a range of containers in the same color family.
Add this plant to your indoor houseplant display, wherever it will command attention. Use this as your “star”, or allow it to act as a wonderful backdrop for smaller plants.
Affectionately nicknamed “Mother-in-Law’s Tongue” and “Bowstring Hemp”, the Sansevaria Snake Plant brings easy care charm to your interior. They are among the toughest houseplants in the world, surviving low light conditions and erratic moisture offered by forgetful gardeners.
This is a perfect houseplant for the beginner. It’s seriously hard to kill the Snake Plant.
If you have concerns about the quality of your indoor air, you’ll want to add several of these wonderful plants. Listed by NASA as one of the top houseplants for removing xylene, toluene, formaldehyde and other contaminants, adding Snake Plant to your interiorscape is a must if you live or work near pollution.
Add them to your bedroom to boost oxygen levels in the room. They convert most of their carbon dioxide to oxygen at night.
Allergy sufferers? This is your houseplant!
These tough plants can be placed in direct sunlight, or in a dimly lit corner. Add artificial grow lights for the best results in low light conditions. You can go 2 - 3 weeks between deep waterings.
Yes, you can set a reminder for yourself on your phone. But we hope you’ll spend a little time getting to know and love your houseplants because you want to. Mindful care of a living green companion is a reward in itself.
