# For ‘houseplant appreciation day’ this is little “Ilsa” an unknown…

_Lagt ut av PlantsForMySoul den 2024-01-11_

For ‘houseplant appreciation day’ this is little “Ilsa” an unknown type of plant that has stumped every garden center, family member, expert… whom we have asked over the years. They have been in our family for decades and are definitely somehow related to birds nest snake plants but they’re not just like them. We call this one Ilsa after my great aunt who these particular ones come from. She used to laugh that they were “boring” and proudly speak of how she forgot to water them, that they often lived near open windows in the wintertime and rarely were repotted, if ever 😆 My granny, mom and I are plant lovers and over the years we’ve had some as have some of my aunts and cousins 💚 Little Ilsa came across Canada in my mom’s suitcase for me in Oct 2022 and bounced back to be this flourishing!

I have one that looks pretty similar to this. I thought it was a dracaena / mother in laws tongue “star power.”
