Sansevieria Snake Plant
Sansevieria Snake Plant
These plants are happy in most light conditions, whether it's slightly shaded or nice and bright. Of course, it will need a bit of light but it is pretty adaptable to whatever environment it's in. The more light, the happier but don't worry too much.
Snake plants don’t need much water - a small amount to moisten their soil whenever it feels very dry or crumbly - about every two weeks, and less often in winter. Make sure you allow your snake plant’s soil to dry out completely between waterings, as this helps to prevent root rot.
The snake plant will prefer a dry room such as the bedroom or living room. It comes from a dry environment naturally so the less humidity, the better.
Indoor temperatures of at least 10oC are ideal for snake plants. They are very hardy and so long as they aren't freezing, they are happy!
During spring and summer, feed once a month with a general houseplant food. No feeding is necessary during the winter when plant growth naturally slows.
Snake plants are considered toxic to humans and pets if ingested.
These plants really do thrive on neglect. They don't need any special attention and will continue to grow for a long time, slowly however. A gentle wipe to each leaf or stem would be appreciated by your plant, not just to remove the dust but to also keep it looking clean and tidy. Repotting should only happen when its roots are bursting out of its pot - cactus repotting soil should be used to promote good drainage and minimal water retention to reduce any risk of root rot.
Size and shape of plant may vary from that in the image.
