Snake plants do their best when you basically forget about them. They don’t need much water and they definitely don’t need much light.
Why it’s great for the kitchen: If yours is the kind of kitchen that’s just way too busy, with say, the phone ringing and kids running in and out, the last thing you need is a high-maintenance plant that needs your attention. Stick this in a corner (it’s taller than it is wide, so it won’t take up a ton of space) and water it every other week or just once a month, depending on how dry the soil gets.
