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, ♥️.

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

[@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.

[@brianbassett4379]

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 got my grandma’s snake plant that she had for as long as I could remember. It was way over grown to the point it was tried together and leaning against a wall so it wouldn’t fall over. I got in last winter and didn’t want to start cutting it back until summer. The reading I did said not to cut more than 1/3 of the plant. I think I only saving 5-10% of the plant. I split in up into three pots, two of me and one for my mom. I water my two every week maybe two cups of water. They are in bigger pots but I knew they would be in shock. I think that was at the end of June and all of the shoots have new leaving and quite a lot of them. As winter is coming I probably will go every other week or every 3 weeks with a couple cups water. So far I have had luck with my watering.

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.

Great video :) another good tip to get pups from your snake plant is to repot it, I noticed each time I repot my plants they give new shoots and babies. You don't have to place them in a bigger pot just repot them in a same sized pot, I don't know why but each time I repot mine they give new babies :)

[@EverythingPlants]

Oh....very interesting. Thanks Sophie!

[@gauravsawant883]

Aerate the soil that's enough. Percolation is imp.

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.

I was gifted my snake plant 8+ years ago from a single stalk and have just done my first version of propagation. Ho-ly- Hell, if my guys survive it'll be despite me not because of me. Lol! I used water heavily during the process in a panic that the roots would get scorch and kill the individual pieces. I worried I had waited too long to separate it and that it was choking out. I left it in the sun too long and it bleached to the palest yellow.Thank goodness this plant is a beast and has been able to withstand my ministrations. I thought this would be a plant able to survive my 5% sun exposure home. Now I feel negligent on that front as well, uuugh! It survived but was it happy?
