Snake plants are easy to care for and require very little maintenance. You will need to prune the snake plant regularly and with care. The best way to reduce the height is to cut the dead or excessively long leaves and wait until a new leaf grows. 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 are not happy with sunlight and don't need to be pruned.
Snake plants can be kept outside in the summer. However, they should be brought inside when the temperature drops to 50°F or frosty. If you bring your snake plant indoors, make sure to keep it from drafts and provide it with drier soil. The snake plant goes dormant during winter. It needs water only one or two times a year. The snake plant will soon die if you don’t fertilize it.
You should use a pot that drains quickly, as snake plants can be aggressive. Do not use potting soil that's too moist as it can cause roots rot. Plant your snake the same depth it was its mother. Plant the roots a bit deeper than the rim of the pot. Indirect sunlight is best for snake plants as they will wither or burn if they are exposed to direct sunlight. They should be kept out of direct sunlight as snake plants can't tolerate 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. Watering too often can lead to root rot and other problems. Snake plants love soil that is slightly moist, but not too wet. During winter months, watering should be limited to once a month or whenever the soil feels dry to touch. It is important not to overwater your plants. You'll end up with dry and limp leaves.
If your snake plant leaves seem to be drooping you may be giving them too much sun. If this happens, you should move the snake plants to a window where there is good ventilation. The lost light will be compensated for if the snake plant is moved to a window. Make sure to place it in an easily draining terracotta plant. Terracotta pots have drainage holes that are perfect for snake plants.
Keep in mind that snake plants require indirect light. They are tolerant of low light but will struggle under bright lights. You also need to take into consideration the place where your snake plant is located. Plants that are exposed to bright sunlight require more water than plants that are shaded. In dimmer areas, you can sparsely water it. Snake plants can last up to two years without having to be watered in winter.
Keeping snake plants healthy is easy. Snake plants can be kept healthy as long as they are not overwatered. Snake plants have good luck and can act as natural partitions. They add color to corners. As a bonus, snake plants purify the air and have been regarded as a lucky plant in Chinese Feng Shui. Moreover, they may bring good energy.
