虎尾蘭
The Snake plant, also known as Mother-in-law’s Tongue, needs little light to grow. Juliette Vass, owner of New York-based online plant store My City Plants, says it “can literally survive in a closet”. You can even just leave this plant in a pot for years, allowing the roots to multiply into a thick clump. It has long and variegated leaves with deep green centers and light yellow edges. Its flowers are small and white, but it rarely blooms.
虎尾蘭還有一個好笑的英文名字“Mother-in-law’s Tongue(丈母娘的舌頭)”，它只需一點陽光便可茁壯成長。紐約植物網(wǎng)店“我的城市植物”的店主朱麗葉?瓦什說，虎尾蘭完全可以在壁櫥里存活下來。

Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Don’t overwater, because it will cause leaf and crown rot. It tolerates low light but performs best with medium to bright light. It doesn’t need fertilizer. Any normal room temperature should suit it just fine. Remember to prune out any damaged leaves so the overall plant looks better.

Hens-and-chicks
屋頂長生花
Sempervivum Tectorum and Echeveria Elegans share the common name of Hens-and-Chicks. They both produce “chicks” — small and identical plants that are sliightly offset from the mother (hen). But they look different. Echeveria Elegans forms flat and flowerlike rosettes, while Sempervivum Tectorum’s leaves tend to be flatter and more-pointed. The availability of different-colored hybrids makes them the perfect paint-box plants.
屋頂長生草和月影有個共同的名字—— “Hens-and-Chicks”，直譯過來便是“母雞和小雞”。兩種植物均產(chǎn)“小雞”—形狀相同的小型葉片，與母株(母雞)有稍微差別。但兩者看上去不一樣。月影的形葉片扁平，猶如一朵盛開的蓮花，但屋頂長生草的葉片往往更加扁平，葉子更尖。這兩種植物的顏色富于變化，有多種混合顏色，是制作顏料的選擇。
