11 Snake Plant Care Tips - What You Need to Know to Grow Sansevieria

[@Ohgrowup1]

I still have my grandmother's sansevieria... or snake plant. She passed away in 1973. She had that plant for at least 10 years before she passed away. I'm in the process of dividing the plant again and sharing it with siblings. This is an old plant!

[@isabellarose1450]

🥰Aww… I’m in the same boat!! Hence, why I looked up this video! My grandma passed away almost 2 years ago. 💙🙏🏼I have several of her plants as nobody wanted to take them… Her African violet she started right before she passed away with one leaf and now it’s absolutely stunning! Although, it is pot bound and I’m really nervous to repot it!

[@Apollo_Blaze]

what an awesome post...how wonderful that you have that very special plant : )

[@Ohgrowup1]

@@Apollo_Blaze it scares me though. Although it’s a very sturdy plant, I don’t want to kill it! I haven’t been really good at keeping plants alive, but this one keeps thriving. My mother kept the plant alive until she passed away in 2017. Now I have it.

[@a.humphries8678]

Wow. That's really awesome. Is it huge?

[@XVNRX]

Damn 10 years?

Thank you for making this short and sweet, its why I picked your video. I have to do alot of repotting to do so 5 mins per plant is great. Again thank you. I will follow you.

Thank you for Snake Plant insight mam! My wife’s daughter bought it for my wife but we have little knowledge of care. Thank you as we will now follow your instructions to better health for our snake plant!!! Keep up the great work mam!!!

I have a snake plant that was starting to show signs of something not right, I took it into a green house to have it replanted into something with better drainage and sure enough she pointed out the roots were collapsed from the added weight and the water wasn't evaporating quickly enough. She added in a lot more perlite into the dirt. I'm glad I took it in, I knew something was wrong and looks like I caught it in time. Never picking out a plant with no drainage never again. They even had me stick my fingers into the dirt to feel what was consider not watering time. I've had the plant for three years and there is a lot of new growth. It's not doing too bad but it could be doing better. Thanks to these videos I figured out my snake plant was in trouble.

[@no-knickers-emma1112]

How is snakey doing now?

[@KaySkywalker]

@@no-knickers-emma1112 it feels too soon to know for sure, considering the soil is drying out again, I think its doing okay. Its only been 2 and a half weeks to know yet.....

Can I use a watering globe for my snake plant, or will that result in over-watering?

My snake plant leaves are curling. What am I doing wrong?

[@CLifemusic]

Can you put snake plants outside? Or is there too much sunlight and too much heat?

[@Gardendesignmag]

We've seen them growing outdoors in some gardens in So Cal, but never tried it ourselves. This gallery has some nice photos of them outside in containers and beds: www.gardendesign.com/pictures/sansevierias_395/

[@brianachristensen3852]

Water around the edge, paying close attention to not water down into the multiple leaf stems.

[@princessbanannahammock3925]

I literally grimaced. I've just run water down the leaves a few times for fun because i didn't knoooowww! Lol thank you for the tip!

[@brianachristensen3852]

You are welcome! One of many tips I've learned from Planterina. Have you watched her? Or do you follow her? It makes sense otherwise the leaves rot with water sitting in there

I am about to repot my one year old snake plant, but I'm not ever sure how deep to plant, I still have it in its original pot I bought a year ago and it doesn't seem to be growing.

[@ricardoperez215]

I have snake plant in my yard and I would like to know how to save them from winter. I've heard them taken out of the ground and kept in a paper bag and replanted in the spring. I would like to know if it is possible. Thank you

[@Patricia-uu6wo]

I never heard of them be outside I thought it was a indoor plants

[@Apollo_Blaze]

I would just keep them in some nice pots and pull them in when cold weather comes.

[@arun.sekher]

The white heavy soil amendment you're showing is perhaps pumice not perlite.

Snake plants like to stay dry for awhile and really like much more drainage than what was said in this video.

[@shelbyrussell1552]

She said they like too dry out alot. She also said use drainage soo what tf u talking about lmfaoo

[@limitlessdude7648]

That "stay dry" was in conjunction with the they "really like more drainage than was said in the video" because drainage makes the soil dry out quicker. She doesn't go over HOW MUCH drainage very clearly.

[@Sungroove]

I was given this type of plant with no drainage holes it…I don’t want to repot it because I’m worried it will die

[@ashschannel7945]

If it's a plastic pot, I would recommend using a drill a poking a few holes at the bottom which should help with drainage. Hope that helps. 😊

[@ImTheBoss914]

how big is that pot (the largest one blue-ish grey one)?

[@FirstIN.]

Great video 👍

[@Patricia-uu6wo]

I got a emergency snake plant question I just got a piece of plant from my doctor and it it would be propagating so do I just stick it in the soil and let it do its thing and by its going into the cold season here in Michigan do I put the plastic over to cover it up or anyting anybody know ?????

[@Apollo_Blaze]

I always just pull in all plants I think would need protection when winter comes....then I never have to worry about them til weather warms up

[@Tarmantarmant]

Nice video...👍

[@ashenone3427]

I wish there was a watering tutorial video somewhere.

[@brianachristensen3852]

Don't water it where the water goes down into the leaf bottoms. That slowly suffocates it. Only water around the edge, not going into the plant stems.

[@ameliaandes797]

I water my snake plants after the dirt on top breaks apart and sort of creates tiny sinkholes just to make sure it needs water. (I used the moisture meter before on the snake plants...it depends on your comfort level. ) I water thoroughly only on top soil and leave a saucer with water covering the botton of the pot for a few minutes (4mins) to wet the bottom soil so the roots reach down. (Making the plant believe that there's an underground river. 😅) Don't want short roots because the tall leaves might tip over. I keep the medium that the plant came in from the store. The lady in the video have heavy pots.. I can't carry them to a near sink or bring a hose blah, blah. My snakes plants are easy going 😍not fuzz compared to my other plants including the aloevera 😔. Me: Aloevera, you know other aloeveras are easy to care for. Aloevera: I don't like this light or this corner or this area or this new soil. More water, I am wrinkling. Less water, my leaves are soft. But the meter moisture says... Me:😭😭

what soil should i use?

[@maybachant]

Looking for answers here as well...

[@AnimusZen]

Did you watch the video? She went over the soil content...

[@maybachant]

Animuz “cactus” mix is very generally to brown thumbs. I was looking to hear a brand. I did watch the video, thank you.

[@maybachant]

Animuz also ironic you’re in the comments suggesting of brands NOT to use. If I haven’t read your other comments, I WOULD buy miracle grow because that’s the 1st that comes up when you type in “cactus mix;” even from watching the video... I would have done the same. Next time you could frame your answer/ insight whatever you want to call it as if you generally are trying to help. Rather than try to decipher with sarcasm if I indeed “watched” the video or not. But thanks though mate.

[@Lemons19902010]

I've used miracle gro potting soil with some orchid bark and cactus soil mixed in.

[@Fabulousfreak189]

i wouldnt reccoment miracle grow fertilizer for snake plants, it will burn its roots. I used it on my plants for years but the snake plant did not respond well and did end up dying because of the fertilizer

[@adelaideleblanc9574]

I agree! I also never fertilize new plants because they might have been fertilized at the nursery

[@Fabulousfreak189]

@@adelaideleblanc9574 Yes! Lately , ive just been adding some compost to the top of the soil. Like earthworm castings.

[@shelbyrussell1552]

Seriously thats nuts.. I was about too get the powder mix for mine... Glad i saw ur comment

[@Fabulousfreak189]

Yah! It works well for other plants. I use it on my pothos, ivy, peace lily, etc. but snake plants are more specific because they’re desert plants. I put worm castings in with its soil and that usually keeps it pretty happy, but you can research what they like. Glad I could help!

[@tonyiznaola]

Very instructional video, but very low volume.Please pay attention on Audio. I'd rather very high volume and ajust to mid. Than a poor volume video.

[@AnimusZen]

A small boost in volume would be good yes, but it wasn't that bad. 15-20% increase should be sufficient.
