I love to bring some greenery inside the house to spruce up the décor. But caring for a houseplant is not always easy. I have tried a few houseplants over the years, and I must say that the easiest one to care for is the gorgeous Mother-in-Law’s Tongue. These sword-shaped plants are one of the best houseplants for beginners. They require very little water. In fact, the biggest danger is overwatering them. The Mother-in-Law’s Tongue is excellent in a grouping and will provide striking displays in any room.

Caring for Mother-in-Law’s Tongue

Water: Let the soil dry between waterings. I water my plant only once-a-week. And during the winter, that can be reduced to once-a-month, or whenever the soil is dry to the touch.

Light

They prefer bright light. So place your houseplant in a room that gets some sun or near a widow.

Temperature

They will suffer if exposed to temperatures below 50ºF. So keep them inside throughout the whole year.

Fertilizer

When I remember, I add some fertilizer during the Spring.

The beautiful Mother-in-Law’s Tongue planter is now part of our family. They have been on the same corner for 3 years now, and they feel right at home.
