Snake plants (Sansevieria) are incredibly low-maintenance and resilient, making them perfect for beginners or anyone with a busy lifestyle. Here's how to care for your snake plant:

1. Light

  • Low to Bright, Indirect Light: Snake plants can tolerate a wide range of light conditions, from low light to bright, indirect light. However, they thrive in moderate, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves.

2. Watering

  • Infrequent Watering: Snake plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to dry out completely between waterings. Water about once every 2-3 weeks, or when the soil feels dry to the touch. In winter, reduce watering further, as the plant's growth slows.
  • Avoid Overwatering: Overwatering is the most common cause of snake plant problems, leading to root rot. Always ensure the pot has drainage.

3. Humidity

  • Tolerates Low Humidity: Snake plants are adaptable to different humidity levels and can thrive in dry indoor environments.

4. Temperature

  • Warm Temperatures: Keep your snake plant in temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as they are sensitive to cold.

5. Soil

  • Well-Draining Soil: Use a cactus or succulent mix or a general-purpose potting soil with added perlite for improved drainage. Snake plants do not like to sit in wet soil.

6. Fertilizing

  • Occasional Feeding: Fertilize your snake plant with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Skip fertilizing in fall and winter.

7. Pruning

  • Minimal Pruning: Snake plants generally don’t require much pruning. You can trim any dead or damaged leaves at the base to keep it tidy.

8. Repotting

  • Every 2-3 Years: Repot your snake plant when it outgrows its pot or the roots become crowded. They prefer being slightly root-bound, so don't rush to repot unless necessary.

Snake plants are tough, forgiving, and can go for long periods without attention, making them a perfect addition to almost any space. Just remember to avoid overwatering, and it will thrive!

Anxious

I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.

Shipping a Christmas Cactus

I was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
