Snake plants are easy to care for and require very little maintenance. It will require some attention and pruning. To control the height, you can cut off the damaged or overgrown leaves and wait for a new leaf to grow. If the leaves of your snake plants are falling off, pull them from their roots and wait for a new one to grow. Snake plants hate sunlight, so if you don't feel like pruning them, don't worry.
You can keep snake plants outside during the summer, but make sure to bring them inside before the temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or wintery frost. Keep your snake plant out of direct sunlight and make sure it has drier soil. It becomes dormant in winter. This means that it will require water only once to twice a calendar year. If you don't fertilize your serpent plant, it will most likely die.
Snake plants grow quickly so you need to choose a pot that can drain quickly. Potting soil should not be too dry as this can cause roots to rot. Plant your snake plant the same depth as its mother. The roots should be planted a little deeper than the pot's rim. Because snake plants require indirect sunlight, they can burn or wither in direct sunlight. They should be kept out of direct sunlight as snake plants can't tolerate temperatures below 50°F.
It is easy to water your snake plant. Just remember not to spray the leaves with water. Root rot can be caused by overwatering. Snake plants enjoy soil that's slightly moist. Winter months should be when the soil is dry. You will get dry, limp leaves if you overwater the plant.
If you notice your snake plant's leaves drooping, then you are giving it too much light. If this happens, move the snake plant to a window with 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. The drainage holes in terracotta pots are ideal for snake plants.
Remember that snake plants only require indirect light. They are tolerant of low light but will struggle under bright lights. In addition to that, the amount of water required for your snake plant depends on its location. Plants that are exposed to bright sunlight require more water than plants that are shaded. It is possible to water the plant sparingly in areas with less sunlight. Snake plants can go as long as two months without watering during winter.
Maintaining healthy snake plants is easy. As long as you don't overwater it, they will remain healthy even without frequent watering. Snake plants are good luck and can be used as natural partitions. They add color to corners. Snake plants purify air and are considered lucky plants in Chinese Feng Shui. Moreover, they may bring good energy.
