Available in 10 inch
💧 Water sparingly
🪴 Well-draining mix

Care
Light
Wonderfully adaptable — it tolerates low light but grows best in bright, indirect light. Just about any indoor spot will do.
Water
Water sparingly, only once the soil is fully dry, and even less in winter. Overwatering is the one sure way to harm a snake plant.
Soil & Feeding
Use a free-draining mix (cactus or succulent soil is perfect) and a pot with drainage. Feed once or twice in the growing season at most.
Quick Tip
When in doubt, don’t water. This is a near-indestructible plant that genuinely prefers to be left alone.
