She is most recognized as “snake plant,” or “mother-in-law’s tongue” because of the shape and the sharpness of her leaves.

In Brazil, they call her “Espada de São Jorge,” because she is associated with the sword of Saint George, and in Japan, they call her “Tiger’s tail.” 

Like all famous people, the snake plant suffered criticism.

She was associated with bad luck. This is just a rumor. 

In fact, the plant was cherished in ancient times and was believed to bring good luck in several countries.

Get to know all about the benefits of the Snake Plant and how to care for and grow this attractive houseplant.

Here’s the thing…

So from this section I will give you the guide for you, so you will know how to care and grow your snake plant properly:

Snake Plants don’t have high light requirements. Bright indirect light is ideal, but they also do well in low light as well as direct sun.

The top soil should be watered once every ten days to two weeks, or whenever it is completely dry.

Don’t water too much. A long watering can will help you water your snake plant like you meant to.

A number of plants come to mind when looking for plants for your brown thumb.

One of these plants is the Sansevieria, the snake plant.

The snake plant is a good candidate for “plant grim reaper,” however…

…you may wonder how quickly the snake plant forms a solid root system.

Snake plants grow slowly when exposed to moderate light, either indoors or outdoors.

In the meantime it tends to grow enough, as long as the sun is shining.

The size and shape of your Sansevieria will be determined by the variety that you have planted as well…

…as the growing conditions.

Next thing that you should know!

Curling leaves on a Snake Plant could mean one of several things.

You should first diagnose the problem. Snake plants can be plagued by thrips, a tiny black insect that infests…

…and eventually kills them. Shaking your plant on top of a white piece of paper can tell you if it has thrips.

If any black bugs fall off your plant, it is possible that your plant has thrips. Don’t worry though! Just relax!

Grasp any leaves clearly damaged with a sharp blade and wipe with a clean cloth…

…then spray plenty of water onto the plant.

Follow this by spraying your plants with neem oil a few times a week for one month.

Is there no sign of bugs? Do you need to check if your plant is not overly watered or under watered.

It is most likely caused by infrequent or sporadic watering if you see dry, brown tips on your Snake Plant.

Despite the fact that the Snake Plant can withstand long drought periods, it still likes to be watered regularly!

Snake Plants with soggy, mushy or wilted leaves are most likely the result of overwatering or root rot.

Make sure your Snake Plant is only watered when the soil is dry.

Once every ten to two weeks should be okay. If your plant is wilting, it might need to be discarded and replaced.

If moisture is detected in the soil, it may be a case of root rot.

Last but not least

Is your Snake Plant growing slowly?

That’s okay. Snake Plants typically grow slowly, especially in a low-light environment…

…which is a big reason why many people have chosen this plant.

Be patient! You can fertilize your plant in the spring and summer to boost growth…

…but the plant will grow mostly in the spring and summer.
