Planting & Care
1. Planting: Ensure you select a location with bright, indirect light - placing your Snake Plant in front of a sunny window is ideal, although Snake Plants can tolerate lower-light conditions.
The Snake Plant can go years without requiring repotting - in fact, it often thrives when root-bound. But if you're re-planting, choose a pot that is twice as large as your Snake Plant’s root ball. Pick a pot that has drainage holes as well. When you're ready to plant, place three inches of general-purpose potting soil into the bottom of the pot, set the plant’s root ball on top of the soil and add potting soil around the plant’s roots. Gently press the soil down around the plant’s roots to remove all air pockets. Water the newly potted plant thoroughly after planting.
2. Watering: After planting, keep the soil slightly damp around your Snake Plant’s roots, but be careful not to oversaturate. During the dry season, water the plant at least once per week. Once established, Snake Plants can survive even an extended drought.
Generally, you should allow the soil in the pot to dry out between waterings.
3. Fertilizing: Use a half-diluted, general all-purpose fertilizer for house plants. Fertilize once every three weeks throughout the summer.
