The snake plant is easy-care and requires very little maintenance. You will need to prune the snake plant regularly and with care. You can trim the overgrown or damaged leaves to control their height and wait for the new leaf to grow. You can pull the leaves off your snake plant roots if they are falling off. Then wait for the new leaf to grow. Snake plants hate sunlight, so if you don't feel like pruning them, don't worry.
Although you can keep snake plants outdoors in summer, make sure they are brought inside before it gets below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. 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. If you don't fertilize your serpent plant, it will most likely die.
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. The snake plant should be the same height as its mother. Plant the roots a bit deeper than the rim of the pot. Snake plants need indirect sunshine because they will die if they are exposed directly to sunlight. Keep them away from drafts because snake plants are sensitive to temperatures below 50°F.
Your snake plant can be watered easily. But, it is important to remember not to spray the leaves in any way with water. Too much water can cause root rot, and other problems. Snake plants like soil that is slightly moist to avoid being too dry. In winter months, watering should only be done once a week or whenever the soil feels dry. It is important not to overwater your plants. You'll end up with dry and limp leaves.
If your snake plant's leaves are becoming droopy, it is likely that they are getting too much sunlight. If this happens, move the snake plant to a window with good ventilation. The plant will compensate for the loss of light if it is moved to a windowsill. Make sure to place it in an easily draining terracotta plant. Terracotta pots have drainage holes that are perfect for snake plants.
You need to keep in mind that snake plants need indirect light. They tolerate a low light, but struggle in bright light. You also need to take into consideration the place where your snake plant is located. A plant that is exposed to direct sunlight will require more water. It is possible to water the plant sparingly in areas with less sunlight. Snake plants can go as long as two months without watering during winter.
Keeping snake plants healthy is easy. As long as you don't overwater it, they will remain healthy even without frequent watering. Snake plants can be natural partitions, and they are lucky. They also add a splash of color to corners. Snake plants purify and enhance the air quality. Moreover, they may bring good energy.
