Water: Snake plants do not need to be watered often. If you water them too much, they will rot and die. An easy way to avoid this is to keep your snake plant in a pot with drainage holes, so extra water can drain out when you water the plant. You only need to water your snake plant once a month!

Sun: Snake plants can tolerate and grow in a wide range of light. They will enjoy full sun, but will still thrive in full shade. Snake plants can survive in places with no light for over a month!

Fertilizer: Snake plants do not need to be fertilized often. A good rule of thumb is to use all purpose plant food, like this one, every spring. Make sure you don’t feed your snake plant too much or their roots can get burned!

Snake plants can be grown in many different ways and places, which make them perfect for any plant enthusiast. From beginner to expert, snake plants are a prized addition to any plant-lover’s collection!
