Snake plants, also known as mother-in-law’s tongue or sansevieria, require little water to survive and are often used as home décor. To water them, they should be watered whenever the soil has completely dried out. For indoor snake plants, it is important to plant them in well-draining soil and use a moderate watering schedule. The changing seasons, such as winter when the air is drier and less water evaporates during daytime, affect the need for watering. To care for indoor snake plants, locate them in partial sun and water once every 2 weeks in summer and once every 3 or 4 weeks in winter, ensuring the soil has dried out completely between bouts of watering.
Snake plant care indoors is not as easy as it looks, but overwatering is a common mistake that kills snake plants. They can withstand a wide range of conditions, so it is essential to avoid overwatering. Plant your snake plant in well-draining soil and use a moderate watering schedule that allows the soil to dry out before giving it more water. Water fortnightly, or when the top two inches of soil feels dry. Keep your snake plant in a warm spot, ideally with sunlight.
As a rule of thumb for indoor and outdoor snake plants, water them once the soil has completely dried out. Snake plants love well-draining soil, but avoid compact soil as it will hold more moisture and could lead to root rot. Water when the soil is dry the entire way through.
