☀️ Snake plants prefer bright, indirect light and can even tolerate some direct sunlight but not for long periods. However, they also grow well in shady corners and other low-light areas. Though they can survive poor light conditions, they will not grow as much without some moderate sunlight.

🌡️ Temperatures ranging from 55-85°F are fine for your snake plant. Warmer temperatures encourage faster growth. Snake plants are hardy plants that can survive cold temperatures as low as 45 degrees Fahrenheit but avoid large swings in temperature as well as hot and cold drafts. Snake plants thrive in low/moderate humidity, between 30-50%.

💧 They only need to be watered every 2 weeks, allowing its soil to completely dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. During the winter months feel free to only water your snake plant once a month if the soil is still moist after 2 weeks.

💊 Because snake plants are native to poor rocky soil, avoid over-fertilizing. Snake plant care doesn't require a lot, once each spring gives it enough of what it needs. You can feed the plant up to twice a year in spring/summer with a houseplant fertilizer that has a NPK (nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium) ratio of approximately 10-10-10. For the amount to use, follow product label instructions.

🪴 Do not repot right away. Let the plant stay in its nursery pot for at least a few months to get used to its new home. Most plants go dormant in the winter so It's best to not repot them then because they could go in to shook. It's best to repot every 2-3 years during the growing months of spring and summer. This plant grows well in a standard potting mix. It is beneficial to blend in some sand and perlite to Improve drainage. They can become slightly root-bound before repotting.

🐜 All plants from Passionate Gem are treated monthly with a natural spray consisting of hydrogen peroxide, natural soap and neem oil diluted with water--but that doesn't mean once they go to a new home it can't catch a critter infestation from surrounding plants or soil. (Even flowers can be a carrier of pests!)  Preventative maintenance Is key! Check your plants often, clean leaves by giving the occasional shower or wiping with a clean damp cloth. Use clean pots and fresh quality soil when transplanting. A spray, like mentioned above, is a really great preventative measure as well.

Follow these care tops to ensure your plant is not only surviving but thriving!
