Sansevieria (the plant) has been a well-known fixture in the movies for decades. This is one of many reasons why we decided on Sansevieria as our production name and logo.
If you watch television (especially CBS), you've probably seen a sansevieria. Sansevieria also makes frequent appearances in the movies.
