My Mother in law’s tongue is growing! It was already hale and healthy but now it has started growing!
Please don’t get me wrong! I am talking about the plants ‘My Mother in Law’s Tongue’ which we have planted few months back in a new pot that was presented to me by my sister.
We were bit apprehensive if the plants would survive there or not! So we kept pot outdoors for a couple of months then we have taken the pot inside into our drawing room.
Pleasantly the plants surprised us by growing new leaves which made us very happy!
It is believed that these plants have capacity to keep the room clean by purifying the air!
Do you have these plants? What are the potted plants you have in your drawing room? 
Please respond! Your response will be highly appreciated!
Thanks!

Dear @Sreekala , You know I am a henpecked husband and I am very wife fearing (like people they are God fearing) and Can't have any guts to say anything about my MIL like this here!
But then I deliberately chose this title to confuse people here who don't have the idea about this plants name!
This plant all of a sudden gained popularity as a air purifier so people are getting bit crazy about this plant!! Thanks!

I just got some two days ago. So I'm still very new to them. Apparently they like indirect light and will help the air by removing VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and produce a lot of oxygen, so they are very good plants to possess. I got them solely for the air quality.
Currently mine are in the kitchen, though I hope to move them to the bedroom soon.

@OneOfMany , there are about 70 varieties of these plants and I am sure this can be one from those 70 varieties and all are said to have similar properties of purifying the air! Thanks!

This plant originally comes from Africa, it is a succulent, that is the plant that is grown in dry conditions like in deserts. Now they are grown as a show plant in many countries where there is lot of warmth. There are about 70 varieties in this plant.
Thanks for liking the title!

I have a couple of these plants and had grown them two years ago. In fact I have in my room now.
You just water them little and need little sun light.
