The Sansevieria trifasciata is a flowering plant with long stalks covered in buds, producing white or cream-colored flowers when they blossom. This guide to caring and repotting for a snake plant, also known as “Mother-in-Law’s Tongue” and Sansevieria, provides expert advice on how to care for this plant.
Snake plants are easy to care for, but they prefer drier conditions and resent overwatering. To ensure the plant’s survival, water them lightly in the morning every two to eight weeks, depending on the season. In summer, water every two weeks, and in winter, every eight weeks.
To maintain soil moisture, allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. In summer, allow the top 2.5cm of soil to dry out between waterings, while in winter, water just enough to keep the soil from drying out. Overwatering is the main cause of death, so don’t water if in doubt.
Sansevieria thrives in dry air, but average room humidity is also fine. When watering, only water the first 6 inches below the soil line, removing excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.
To ensure the plant’s health, only water it every two weeks in summer, making sure the soil is completely dried out before watering again. Snake plants need little watering and sunlight to thrive, growing fast in soil with good drainage and resistance to insects, heat, and warm climates.
