It’s a sunny day and you’re looking for something to do.

A family friend recommended that you take care of their snake plant, so they gave you the pot with the plant in it..

…and said not to forget to water it every few days.

You remembered once already but today is planting day and you look at your calendar.

It’s Wednesday! Okay, no big deal; just put on your gardening gloves because there are lots of tiny little holes…

.…where dirt can get in when weeding.

You love gardening because people leave their plants on porches or outside all summer long…

…and then they have icky weeds growing out of them by the time fall rolls around…

….and they don’t know what to do with them this late in the season.

Although they are very forgiving, snake plants prefer indirect but steady light with some direct sun. They can adapt to full sun conditions and will also survive quite dim situations.”

If you are wondering how to care for a snake plant, here are a few suggestions.

• Light: 

As we’ve mentioned, snake plants are very hardy options that are easy to care for. While they can withstand full sun…

…and handle low light, indirect sunlight is ideal for a snake plant.

Even though Sansevierias prefer medium light (which is about 10′ away from the west or south window)…

…they’ll also tolerate low light and high light. How versatile they are! Must keep in mind that in lower light conditions….

….the darker leafed species and varieties like S. trifasciata & Sansevieria hanhnii jade…

…do better and are the ones you should buy.

Snake Plants with brighter variegations will become less intense and patterned in low light.

Just be sure to keep Snake Plants out of the direct, hot sun (west or south window) because they’ll burn in a heartbeat.

• Water: 

Ensure the soil is well-drained, and do not water it excessively (especially in the winter).

Do not allow the soil to become wet when watering snake plants. Originally from arid deserts snake plants do well in sandy soils.

• Temperatures: 

Despite their preference for warmer temperatures, sansevieria thrives in temperatures ranging from 55 to 85°F.

At temperatures below 50°F, they can suffer serious damage.

• Toxicity: 

Even though the toxicity levels are low, it is safest to keep pets away from your plant.

It can cause excessive salivation, pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Understanding how poisonous plants work can help you avoid any accidents while still enjoying your greenery.

There are a few problems you may encounter with these easy to grow plants.

Spider mites are eliminated by rinsing the leaves and increasing humidity around the plant.
