rainforest plant for school project for my daughter mother-in-law tongue plant

Answer 1

Mother in law tongue plant is a common indoor plant. It has very long leaves that stick straight up from the dirt or pot and look sort of like a long spike, but they aren't hard or dangerous.

Answer 2

I think the plant is Sansaveria (sp). Usually dark green, tough long pointed leaves indoor plant-- I never thought about it as a rain forest plant-- but what do I know. They will live in low light and minimal water--
The century plant is an outdoor plant (at least in Oklahoma) that also has straight leaves that are also tough-- the leaves are gathered around the base and maybe on a longer stem-- they do bloom infrequently.
You might be thinking of a bromilad (sp). It does come from the rain forest and roots on branches of trees . There are many to be had for plant persons-- the most common I've seen is the Silver Vase-- green with silver leaves-- has a single spike of blooms that are bright pink and purple. They only bloom once then "calf"-- you then use the baby. If yours hasn't bloomed, you can stimulate blooming by use of a plastic bag and an apple-- put the apple in the "vase" part-- and cover the entire plant and pot with a plastic bag that is tightly closed. check frequently.
good luck
