Sansevieria Night Owl Physical Characteristics

Its leaves are dark-green and lanceolate but have yellow or creamy variegation. It stores the carbon dioxide it acquires at night for daily use. As a result, it releases oxygen at night, enhancing oxygen levels in the bedroom, study, or anywhere else you keep. Furthermore, it has air-cleaning attributes.

It can sometimes bloom in the year producing small, white flowers from a long stalk in specific periods, especially in summer. These flowers are not fragrant.
