Plant Care

• Watering - Water the plant every two weeks, or when the top two inches of soil are dry. In the winter, you can water the plant once a month if the soil is still moist after two weeks. Make sure the water drains away completely, and don't let the plant sit in water. Overwatering can cause root rot.
• Sunlight - Snake plants prefer lots of sunlight, but can tolerate some light shade. In the summer, protect the plant from the hottest, southern sun.
• Temperature - Keep the plant in a warm spot, ideally above 10°C.
• Repotting - Repot the plant in the spring using houseplant compost if needed. Repot when the roots become overcrowded or the plant outgrows its original pot. Place the plant at the same level as it was in the original pot.
• Cleaning - Wipe the leaves once in a while with a clean, damp cloth. You can also clean and polish the leaves with milk, which is also an effective fungicide.
• Propagating - To propagate, cut off a healthy leaf near its base and make an upside-down V cut at the bottom. Place the leaf in a clean jar of water. Once roots have started to form (3 to 5 weeks), you can keep in water or transfer to soil.
