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 water retention.

Repot

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

💡 Joe's Top Tip

Less is more when it comes to watering. Place it in bright indirect light for the strongest growth, but it'll happily tolerate lower-light rooms too.

⚠️ Common Mistake

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