Snake plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low-light conditions. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Over-watering can cause root rot, so it's better to underwater than over-water.

• Spring and summer: Water every 2–3 weeks, depending on the humidity and light conditions.

• Fall and winter: Reduce watering to once a month or less, as the plant requires minimal water in dormancy.

Fertilize during the growing season, which is spring and summer.

• Type of fertilizer: Use a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

• Frequency: Once a month during the growing season. Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

• Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve their ability to photosynthesize.

• You can also divide or propagate the plant if it has outgrown its pot.
