A lot of people have been turning to indoor plants to help bring some life into their homes and reduce their carbon footprint. It's easy to make your home look more inviting by adding a few plants to your living space. Not only do indoor plants help with the aesthetics, but they also help purify the air and release oxygen in a room.

This is why this plant is often used in offices and homes with people who suffer from asthma or allergies. It's also a very easy plant to care for and will not require much maintenance, which is another plus.

Here are few tips to grow snake Plant

Soil

When it comes to Snake Plants, the best soil is a well-drained, sandy soil. This type of soil will allow the roots of the plant to breathe and will also help to prevent the plant from becoming waterlogged. If you are planting your Snake Plant in a pot, make sure that the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.


Water

Water when the soil is almost dry. The quickest way to kill a snake plant is to overwater it. Before you think it's time to water, test the soil with your finger. If it feels dry to the touch, you can safely wait a day or two before watering.



Light

Snake plants offer a versatility that is hard to beat, especially when it comes to lighting needs. They usually grow faster in bright light, but direct sunlight can burn the leaves, especially when the plants are outdoors. An ideal location indoors is about 10 feet from a west or south window.


Propagation

Growing your snake plant is very easy. Each plant can grow new plants alongside the larger mother plant


Fertilizer-

Because snake plants do poorly in rocky soil, avoid over-fertilizing. A premium plant food like Pennington Ultra green All Purpose Plant Food 10-10-10 delivers the primary, secondary and micronutrients your snake plant needs once each spring. Then it continues feeding gently for four months. if you want to give your houseplants a fast-acting fertilizer, liquid fertilizer for indoor plants is a best option.
