When to Plant

• Plant snake plants in bright light or partial shade.
• Use loose, well-draining soil for optimal growth.

2. Soil and Watering

• Grow snake plants in a pot with a well-draining sandy or cactus mixture.
• Water only when the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil is dry.
• Avoid overwatering, as snake plants are drought-tolerant.

3. Light and Temperature

• Provide bright filtered sunlight for snake plants.
• They thrive in temperatures between 70°F and 90°F (21°C – 32°C).
• Snake plants don’t need extra humidity.

4. Maintenance

• Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove dead fronds.
• Snake plants rarely flower indoors, but if they do, the white lily-like flowers are followed by round orange berries.

Remember, the snake plant not only adds a touch of green to your home but also has air-clearing properties, making it an excellent choice for bedrooms! 🌿🪴
