A snake plant requires little to no maintenance and is very easy to keep in check. However, you need to prune it occasionally and carefully. You can trim the overgrown or damaged leaves to control their height and wait for the new leaf to grow. If you notice your snake plant's leaf dropping, pull them off the root and let the new leaves grow. If you don't want to deal with pruning, snake plants don't like sunlight.
Snake plants can be left outside during the summer. But, they must be brought inside to avoid frost or temperatures below 50F. Keep your snake plant out of direct sunlight and make sure it has drier soil. In winter, it enters a dormant state and will need water only once or twice a year. The snake plant will soon die if you don’t fertilize it.
Snake plants grow quickly so you need to choose a pot that can drain quickly. Do not use potting soil that's too moist as it can cause roots rot. Your snake should be planted at the same depth as its mother. Plant the roots slightly deeper than the rim. Because snake plants require indirect sunlight, they can burn or wither in direct sunlight. Also, keep them out from drafts. Snake plants hate temperatures below 50 degrees.
It is easy to water your snake plant. Just remember not to spray the leaves with water. Watering too often can lead to root rot and other problems. Snake plants enjoy soil that's slightly moist. In winter months, watering should only be done once a week or whenever the soil feels dry. Do not overwater it as you will have dry, flaky leaves.
If your snake plant's leaves are becoming droopy, it is likely that they are getting too much sunlight. Move the snake plant to a window that has good ventilation if this happens. It will compensate for any lost light if you move it to the window. It should be placed in a well-draining, terracotta clay pot. Pots made of terracotta are great for snake plants because they have drainage holes.
Snake plants need indirect light. They tolerate a low light, but struggle in bright light. The location of your snake plant will also affect the amount you need to water it. A plant that has bright light needs more water than a plant in shade. You can also water it less in dimmer regions. Snake plants can survive for up to two months without needing water during winter.
It is simple to keep your snake plants healthy. They will stay healthy as long you don't overwater them. Snake plants can be natural partitions, and they are lucky. They add color to corners. Snake plants have also been considered lucky plants in Chinese Feng Shui. They purify the atmosphere and are considered lucky. They can also be a source of good energy.
