The terms refer to the same plant: Sansevieria trifasciata. This evergreen perennial is characterized by its upright, sword-shaped leaves, often displaying a variegated pattern. The plant’s resilience and architectural form make it a popular choice for indoor environments.
Cultivation of this species is favored due to its air-purifying qualities and low maintenance requirements. Its ability to thrive in a range of lighting conditions and tolerate infrequent watering contributes to its widespread use in both residential and commercial spaces. Historically, it has been valued not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its perceived ability to improve indoor air quality.
