Here we have Jax story about his experience finding good temperature of snake plant.

Let’s us Jax’s story

I realized that I didn’t know what the good temperature for snake plant was.

I tried to Google it, but all of the articles were either too technical or too vague.

When I put in “good temperature for snake plant” into a search engine…

it brought up results on people naming their kids after snakes.

But nothing about caring for them. I couldn’t find anything specific so I picked one from my favorite book…

…and hoped that it would work out okay:

The Good Temperature of A Snake Plant is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Well after applying what I learnt before, now my snake plant can live happier and healthier than before!

Never thought that book can help me to recover my snake plant. Man, I’m feel so blessed.

If living indoors, snake plants prefer a temperature between 60 to 85 degrees. These plants can tolerate cooler and warmer temperature fluctuations and can handle a myriad of humidity levels. Average household humidity is ideal and they also do well if kept in your bathroom.
