Choose a bright indoor position with protection from strong midday sun. Introduce a brighter position gradually. [15]

Use a freely draining, peat-free cactus or succulent potting mix. [15]

Choose a container with drainage holes. Keep the nursery pot above water collected in a decorative cover pot. [1]

Keep room conditions steady, away from cold glass, drafts and blasts from heating or air-conditioning vents. [10]

Snake plants suit moderate to warm indoor conditions and tolerate low humidity. [16]

Feed during active growth with houseplant fertilizer at the label rate. Reduce or withhold feeding when growth slows. [10]

Remove badly damaged leaves at their base. Leave healthy leaves intact. Wear gloves when cutting; the sap can irritate skin. [15]

Reassess moisture as daylight and room heating change. [1][3]
