How to Care for Your Snake Plant:

Light: Tolerate various lighting conditions, from low to bright indirect light. However, they thrive best in medium to bright indirect light. 

Water: Snake Plants are drought-tolerant, so it's important not to overwater them. Allow the soil to dry out partially. Water the plant thoroughly, but make sure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging, which can cause root rot. During winter or periods of low light, reduce watering frequency.

Soil: Use well-draining soil specifically formulated for houseplants. 

Temperature and Humidity: Snake Plants are adaptable to different temperatures, but they prefer average room temperatures between 60°F (15°C) to 85°F (29°C). They can tolerate lower temperatures but are sensitive to frost. Normal household humidity is usually sufficient, but they can tolerate lower humidity levels.

Fertilizer: Snake Plants are not heavy feeders and can thrive without frequent fertilization. Avoid fertilizing during winter when the plant is in its dormant phase.

Repotting: Snake Plants prefer slightly crowded conditions, so repotting is usually required only every 2-3 years or when the plant has outgrown its container. Use a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh potting soil.

Maintenance: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves by cutting them at the base. 

Propagation: Snake Plants can be propagated by division or leaf cuttings. Dividing the plant during repotting is the easiest method. Alternatively, cut a healthy leaf into sections and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Toxic to pets and children: Yes

Air purifying: Yes
