Know before you buy
Yes. It is one of the most resilient houseplants available and is highly forgiving if you occasionally forget to water it or place it in a dim corner.
Water only when the soil has dried out completely. Because this is a succulent, it prefers to be slightly underwatered rather than overwatered, which can lead to root rot.
While it is incredibly adaptable to low-light environments, it still requires some ambient light to thrive. It will survive in a windowless room for a short time, but for long-term health, it should be placed near a light source.
No, the Snake Plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
The plant arrives in a 4-inch plastic grow pot with drainage holes. While it is ready to display as-is, many owners choose to place the grow pot inside a decorative cachepot of their choice.
