Care Guide

• Watering: Needs little water. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering is a major cause of plant loss; reduce watering in winter.
• Light: Grows well in medium to low light, but performs best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate shade and artificial light.
• Temperature: Tolerates 15–30°C, but dislikes severe cold and cold draughts.
• Humidity: Does not require high humidity and tolerates dry indoor air.
• Feeding: Apply a diluted, balanced fertiliser once every two months during spring and summer.
• Soil: Use a well-draining mix, such as cactus compost. Avoid heavy soil that retains water.

With its low care requirements and elegant shape, the snake plant is a good choice for beginners and a distinctive addition to indoor spaces.
