Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your snake plant indoor is remarkably simple, making it one of the most forgiving houseplants available. For optimal health, provide bright, indirect light, though it will tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct, intense sunlight which can scorch its leaves. When it comes to watering, less is more. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems for this plant, leading to root rot. In cooler months, reduce watering frequency even further.

The ideal soil for your Sansevieria Trifasciata live plant is a well-draining potting mix, preferably one formulated for succulents or cacti. Ensure its pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. This plant prefers average room temperatures, generally between 65-80°F (18-27°C), and can tolerate lower humidity levels. Fertilize sparingly, once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. This resilient easy care plant rarely encounters serious pest issues, but keep an eye out for mealybugs or spider mites, treating with neem oil if necessary. With these simple tips, your low light houseplant will flourish for years to come.
