🌿 Watering
Water every 2-4 weeks, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings. Water even less in winter, about once a month. Snake plants store water in their leaves, so overwatering is the most common cause of root rot.
☀️ Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light better than most houseplants. It can handle a few hours of direct sun once it’s used to it. Growth will slow in dimmer spots.
🌡️ Temperature
Prefers temperatures between 60-85°F. Keep it above 50°F and away from cold drafts, air vents, and windows during winter months.
💧 Humidity
Does well in average household humidity — no misting needed. Avoid getting water in the center of the plant, as it can sit in the leaves and cause rot.
🪴 Soil
A fast-draining cactus or succulent mix works best, in a pot with a drainage hole. Avoid heavy soils that retain too much moisture.
❌ Toxicity
Mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested — contains saponins that can cause nausea and vomiting. Keep away from children and animals.
