Use Well-Draining Soil A cactus or succulent mix prevents root rot by allowing excess water to drain quickly.
Pick the Right Pot Choose a pot with drainage holes to avoid water buildup and soggy roots.
Water Sparingly Let the soil dry out completely between waterings—overwatering is the biggest snake plant killer.
Provide Indirect Light While they tolerate low light, placing them in bright, indirect sunlight promotes faster growth.
Rotate for Even Growth Turn your plant every few weeks so all sides receive equal light and grow symmetrically.
Wipe the Leaves Dust buildup can block light absorption—gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean.
Fertilize Occasionally Feed with a diluted houseplant fertilizer every 2-3 months during spring and summer for optimal growth.
Keep Temperatures Stable Snake plants prefer temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C) and dislike cold drafts.
