How to Care?

Light

The mother in laws tongue is well known for coping with direct sun and low light conditions, although bright light conditions with some sun light and shade is preferred.

Water

Be cautious when watering, especially during the winter, better to err on the dry side. Watering is usually a matter of personal judgment. I water my snake plants whenever they seem to need it, about every 2-3 weeks. Few plants should be kept constantly wet, fewer should ever be allowed to suffer from lack of moisture. Keep leaves clean and free from dust and grease. Other care consists of keeping the plants moist but not wet, and feeding occasionally. Because this plant is a succulent it stores water within its foliage, so it is not necessary to keep the soil damp. Water from spring to fall when the soil becomes dry to the touch and during the winter only once a month. Be careful not to over water as this can cause the root and base of the plant to rot.

With its interesting foliage and ease of growing, the snake plant is one of the most popular air purifying plants. It has been scientifically proven that snake plant can absorb poisonous gases in the air and releases night time oxygen. It will give a natural humid atmosphere around you along with being anti-allergic and fighting Sick Building Syndrome. Now we also know that it’s also lucky to have it in home and office. This makes it a perfect pick.  Adding snake plants will provide you with an added benefit of keeping interiors beautiful and healthy.
