The snake plant is a carefree, resilient houseplant that makes a bold, architectural statement in your home with tall, swordlike leaves and unique variegation. Tolerant of most growing conditions, it is an ideal plant for beginners or those who want an easy-to-grow houseplant. Snake plants have stiff leaves that grow from six inches to eight feet, depending on the variety you choose. Be gentle with the pointed tips of the plant. If a tip is broken the leaf will stop growing. Shout out to Swansons Nursery for the description of this awesome plant! How to Care for a Snake Plant This houseplant is one of the easiest to grow. It is almost indestructible but we know that you have your sights set on a higher bar, right? You want your snake plant to thrive! It will thank you for a little care and attention but this plant definitely isnt needy (overwaterers, beware!) When in doubt, give it some space to do its thing. Water Native to rocky, arid areas of West Africa, snake plants have evolved to survive in times of drought and definitely doesnt appreciate being soggy. Let the soil dry out mostly in between waterings. In winter, this could mean watering only every few weeks or less, depending on the size of the plant and pot. When you do water, you want to soak the soil completely and let any excess water run out the bottom. One way to tell if you have given the plant enough water is to see if the pot is significantly heavier after you have watered it. Light The snake plant is adaptable to different light conditions but prefers bright indirect light. It can live in a darker spot but it may not grow well or look its best. It can also adapt to a fair amount of direct sunlight but may scorch in the hot summer sun in a southern window. Fertilizer Fertilize with a cactus fertilizer in the spring and summer when the plant is actively growing. Humidity & Temperature Many houseplants demand high air humidity and suffer in the dry air of our homes. Not the snake plant! It is content with most conditions you might find inside the house, generally preferring to grow in temperatures between 65 and 90 Fahrenheit and to stay out of chilly drafts.
