10 Tips to take care of snake plant
-
Use good median soil (soil which allows for more aeration and water drainage) like a mix of Cocopeat, vermicompost and perlite, instead of regular soil.
-
Repot the plant when many plants grow in the same pot, covering the pot. Snake plant will typically have baby snakes growing along the sides in 3-4 months time.
-
Put 1 Feet away from South facing window to stop plants from becoming too hot. In other directions one can place near the window.
-
Rotate the plant every week from time to time to ensure equivalent amount of sunlight. Can be grown indoors also.
-
Ideal temperature for the plant is 5-30 Degree Celsius, should not be placed in too hot conditions, though they are relatively hardy plants.
-
Less water is better, water once every 2 days in summers or when soil is dry to touch. Don’t overwater.
-
Use room temperature water.
-
Water from the sides of the plant, don’t put water directly in the middle as the roots are delicate.
-
Use regular fertilizer (NPK 19:19:19 could be one) during spring.
-
Clean leaves with damp cloth when dusty.
