CAre tips:
Light: Snake plants will thrive in a variety of light levels, making them a very adaptable plant. These plants will grow well in low to bright light and are often used in lower light areas such as an office or corner.
Water: These are very drought tolerant plants and should be allowed to dry out in between waterings. If you notice the soil on the edges of the pot pulling away, and the leaves wrinkling, it is too dry. When you do water, be sure to give a through drink of water to saturate the whole root system. Signs of underwatering include shriveled or wrinkled leaves whereas signs of overwatering include yellowing leaves, soft or mushy spots or a rotten smell in the soil, which can indicate root rot.
Soil: Plant in a pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape and use a well-draining potting mix or a sandy/gritty soil like a cactus or succulent mix. These plants are slow growing, so repotting frequently is not necessary. Fertilize around every 6-8 weeks.
