Care guide

SOIL & POTTING
Use a fast-draining soil mix to prevent excess moisture and root rot. A cactus or succulent mix, or regular potting soil amended with sand or perlite, works best. Always use a pot with drainage holes and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

FERTILIZING
Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish. Feed with a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during the spring and summer. Snake plants are light feeders, so avoid over-fertilizing and pause feeding in fall and winter.

HUMIDITY & INDOOR TEMPERATURE
Thrives in average indoor humidity and does not require added moisture in the air. Prefers temperatures between 60–85°F and tolerates a wide range of indoor conditions. Keep away from extreme cold and avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 50°F.

Your plant ships in its nursery pot with the soil secured, packed so it stays steady on the way to you.
