This low-maintenance container plant adds decorative interest when planted indoors. LightSnake plants grow best with 8 to 10 hours of indirect sunlight or a few hours of early-morning direct sunlight. Too much direct sun causes can burn the plant and damage its leaves. Snake plants tolerate some shade, but lack of light can stunt growth and dilute the plant's color.SoilAs a houseplant, snake plants prefer a loose, well-drained potting soil mix. They do well in sandier soil which makes all-purpose cactus potting soil a good choice. Avoid soil mixes that contain a high percentage of peat, which can retain too much water.WaterWater your snake plant when the soil has completely dried out, being sure to water deeply. During winter, check the plant's soil mix every two weeks or so—the plant might need to be watered only once a month. If you notice its leaves are brittle and dry, water immediately.Keep in mind that overwatering is the quickest way to kill a snake plant. Too much water or letting the plant sit in water will rot its root system. Yellowing leaves are an early sign of overwatering.Temperature and HumiditySnake plants grow best in warm temperatures between 70°F and 90°F. Keep plants away from cold drafts.They won't tolerate frost, and prolonged exposure to less than 50°F can kill the plant. They'll do fine with average household humidity between 30 and 50 percent.FertilizerFeed your snake plant once in spring and once in mid-summer with a balanced, slow-release 10-10-10 fertilizer diluted to half strength. Do not fertilize in winter.Beginner Tips for Snake PlantsWhere to Put It: Place snake plant in bright, indirect light. Near or in any window should be fine.When to Water It: Water when the soil is completely dry. Water deeply until water runs out of the drainage hole.What to Watch For: Dust the leaves regularly and keep an eye out for yellowing and mushy stems (it means you're watering too much and your plant might have root rot).
