Snake Plant 6”
Snake Plant 6”
We carry the following varieties: Moonshine, Laurentii, and Zeylanica. Stock of each type varies.
Light:
• Bright, Indirect Light: Snake Plants prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering:
• Infrequent Watering: Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out completely before watering. Typically, this means watering every 2-6 weeks, depending on humidity, temperature, and season. In winter, reduce watering frequency, as the plant is dormant.
Humidity:
• Low to Average Humidity: Snake Plants are tolerant of low humidity levels. They thrive in average household humidity (30-50%) but do well in drier conditions.
Temperature:
• Moderate Temperatures: Ideal temperatures range from 60°F to 80°F. Protect the plant from temperatures below 50°F and avoid cold drafts.
Soil:
• Well-Draining Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix. You can also create your own mix by combining regular potting soil with perlite or sand for better drainage.
Fertilization:
• Minimal Fertilization: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.
Repotting:
• Every 2-3 Years: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes.
Pests:
• Monitor for Pests: While generally resistant to pests, keep an eye out for spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Propagation:
• Offsets or Leaf Cuttings: Propagation can be done through offsets (pups) or leaf cuttings. For leaf cuttings, allow the cut end to callous before planting in well-draining soil.
Additional Tips:
• Toxicity: Snake Plants are mildly toxic to pets if ingested, so keep them out of reach of curious animals.
