Snake Plant - Biodegradable pot

Origin: Snake plants, also referred to as mother-in-law's tongue, are native to rocky, dry habitats in tropical Africa.

Care: Ideally, give your snake plant a bright spot, out of direct sunshine. It will cope in a dark corner but may lose some of the attractive variegation on the leaves.

Water: Snake plants don’t need much water – just water whenever the soil is dry. Make sure you let the water drain away fully – do not let the plant sit in water as this may cause the roots to rot. Snake plants need very little water in winter.

Feed once a month from April to September. Wipe the leaves occasionally, to prevent dust building up. Be careful not to damage the leaf tips – this will stop the plant growing. Snake plants can cope with draughts and dry air, and don’t need misting.
