Ive definitely been overwatering, but somehow my plant has been going since the 1980's. I guess I need to put it in my will, as it could well outlive me.

[@EverythingPlants]

Holy smokes! You've been doing something right for it to live that long. I wouldn't change a thing. Obviously it's adapted to your conditions

My mom has a huge snake plant that was HER grandmother's. And I just brought back a baby from that plant on the plane with me to pot... the plant has been around for now 4 generations! Thanks for the helpful tips, plants are my new hobby and this video was incredibly helpful for me to grow my baby snake plant 😊

My snake plants are not growing. It had taken 4 or 5 month ,that I took them in my home.They look like same. What should I do,,, ple ase help me..

@@tridibkarmokar1754Pretty much everything said in the video, just good cactus soil and if you have trouble overthinking watering just put to your calendar watering every month. Just forget it exist and it will be doing just amazing 😄 dont forget the sunlight

Terracotta pots are the way to go with snake plants, they allow moisture to seep through the pots helping to prevent root rot. I tend to shy away from plastic or glazed pots. Just a helpful tip, ♥️.

[@EverythingPlants]

I 100% agree! Most of my succulents/cactus are in terracotta for this very reason

I'm new to planets and I have a great fear of killing them. However, I bit the bullet and picked up a snake plant. Call him Vern. Got him in the window, watching this video and crossing my fingers in hoping I don't have to conduct a funeral in the up coming months. So, a lot is riding on this video to help me keep Vern alive. So, I'll be checking in from time to, time to re-educate myself on the care and wellbeing of my new buddy VERN!

Vern likes to be left alone for a lot of the time. If you pester and baby him.... unfortunately he may cut his stay a bit short. Haha YOU GOT THIS PAUL

How is Vern now? 🤞

I put a sansevieria outside still initspot and left it against the back fence and forgot about it for more than two years. Last week I found it again, doing great multiplied many times. I cleaned it up, repotted it and brought it back inside.

[@EverythingPlants]

Hey Paul. That is so awesome!!!

Truly one of the most helpful videos on these plants! The wrinkles, the propagation, the light required - planning for winter and now have a better idea about where to put my Sansevieria collection- thank you!

I originally bought mine because it was low light. It survived & I moved it to a sunny window temporarily when rearranging my house. It stayed in the sunny window longer than I intended & has thrived as a result! 😁

I love my snake plant, I got bought it when I moved to university, it’s now three years old, I can go ages without watering as my room doesn’t have the best light. The way this plant just keep chugging along is amazing.

[@MannyMaurice5348]

These plants are one of the easiest to care for. Just move them around until they find a spot they are happy in. Not a difficult plant at all and water from the bottom, let them tell you how much water they want. They also love it outside, so if you have a patio or front yard with some shade, plant them and they will do great. A bit invasive, so they multiply quite a bit, but give you more plants that you can share with family and friends.

[@mendistrickler5317]

My experience with Mother-In-Laws Tounge has always been to make sure the plant gets plenty of sun, isn't crowded in the pot, is occasionally over-watered, and occasionally under-watered. They thrive in the right spot and with a fair amount of indifference.

I move mine outdoors for summer. ( Alabama) once acclimated to bright light, I give it the best sunny spot. Last summer it rained almost every day. They didn't rot ! They grew well. This summer was very dry. They didn't get water for 23 days. Still doing great. The most important thing is sun. They're adaptable. Most people stuff them in a dark corner and expect great things . The most it'll do is not die.

[@EverythingPlants]

Yes, yes and yes! The thing with plants outdoors and rain is airflow....which most indoor plants don't get enough of.

I am lucky as I have these growing in my garden in the Philippines. They survive the rainy season and the months of dry season. I leave them alone. They tend to flower when not watered at all, so all mine produce small white flowers in the height of the dry season. They take full sun all day.
