If you’re looking for a low-maintenance yet impressive houseplant that can thrive in almost any condition, look no further than the snake plant, formerly known as Sansevieria and now part of the Dracaena genus.
Sansevierias, also known as Snake Plants, are popular houseplants that are easy to care for and add a touch of greenery to any room. They’re fairly easy to care for once you learn the basics.
One of the great things about the snake plant is its ability to adapt to a variety of lighting conditions. It can tolerate low light conditions, making it a great plant for offices or dimly lit rooms.
When it comes to soil, the snake plant is not picky. It can do well in all-purpose potting soil, as well as cactus or succulent soil. The most important thing is to use a well-draining mix with good drainage.
The snake plant is used to dry conditions, so it’s important not to overwater it. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out completely before watering, which should happen every 2-3 weeks.
One of the reasons the snake plant is so popular is its ability to tolerate a wide range of temperature and humidity levels. It can survive in temperatures as low as 50°F (10°C), making it a great plant for cooler rooms.
