Plant Care

• Light: Snake plants prefer bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some direct sunlight. They can also grow in low light, but will grow more slowly. Avoid moving a plant from low light to direct sunlight too quickly.
• Watering: Water snake plants thoroughly when the soil is dry, which can be every 2–6 weeks. Snake plants don't need much water, and overwatering can cause root rot.
• Repotting: Repot snake plants every 3–5 years, or when the roots are growing out of the bottom of the pot. Other signs that a plant needs repotting include:
  • Water draining too quickly
  • Roots filling the entire container
  • Stunted growth
  • A dull appearance
• Sunlight: Snake plants prefer several hours of direct sunlight to promote growth and flowering. However, they should be protected from the hottest, southern sun in summer.
• Potting: Use a sturdy container with well-draining potting mix.
• Fertilizing: Feed snake plants once a month from April to September.
