“Forget it a little. More snake plants die from too much water than from neglect.”
- 01
Light
Happy almost anywhere, from a dim corner to morning sun. It grows fastest in bright shade. - 02
Water
Only when the soil is dry all the way down: about every 2 to 3 weeks indoors, less in an air-conditioned room. - 03
Soil & pot
Fast-draining soil, such as cactus mix or potting soil with sand or perlite. The pot must have a hole. - 04
Feeding
Very little. A weak feed every 2 months is plenty. - 05
What you'll need
- Cactus & succulent potting mix
- Pumice
- A pot with a drainage hole
All available here at the nursery.
Something wrong?
Soft, mushy leaves at the base
Too much water and the roots are rotting. Stop watering, cut off the soft leaves and repot into dry, gritty soil.
Leaves flopping over
Usually too much water or too little light. Let it dry out and move it somewhere brighter.
Dry brown tips
Harmless. Trim them off with clean scissors if you like.
Indoors, aircon OK
