PLANT CARE

Everything you need to know to keep your plant happy and thriving.

LIGHT

Low Light

WATER

Low watering. Allow the compost to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially during winter. This plant stores water in its thick leaves and prefers dry conditions.

🌱

SOIL

Very free-draining cactus or succulent compost with added grit or perlite to prevent excess moisture around the roots.

🪴

REPOT

Repot every 2–3 years in spring or when rootbound. Move up one pot size only. Snake Plants prefer to be slightly pot-bound.

JOE'S TOP TIP

Bright, indirect light encourages the strongest, most compact growth, but this plant will happily tolerate lower light levels. When in doubt, wait a few more days before watering.

⚠️

COMMON MISTAKE

Most people damage this plant by overwatering. Constantly wet compost quickly leads to root rot.
