Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your snake plant live plant is remarkably straightforward, solidifying its reputation as an easy care houseplant. Its robust nature makes it forgiving of minor care inconsistencies. For optimal growth, ensure it receives bright, indirect sunlight. While it tolerates low light, brighter conditions will encourage more vibrant foliage and faster growth. Avoid direct, harsh midday sun as it can scorch the leaves. Ideally, place your Sansevieria trifasciata indoor plant near a window with filtered light.

Watering is the most critical aspect of snake plant care. This plant is drought-tolerant, so it’s essential to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Overwatering is the most common cause of issues. During winter, reduce watering significantly. The ideal temperature range for this air purifying plant is 60–85°F (16–29°C); protect it from temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix, as heavy, water-retentive soil can be detrimental. Fertilize lightly once a month during the spring and summer growing seasons with a diluted succulent fertilizer. The mother in law’s tongue is generally pest-resistant, further simplifying its care.
