NOTE:

	Sun Shade to bright light		Water Infrequent
	Hardiness Zone 9 - 11		Mature Size 6 ft

Care Tips:

- Snake plants love bright, indirect light. However, if properly acclimated, they can also survive in low light and flourish in direct light.

- Snake plants are drought resistant due to their ability to store water in their succulent-like leaves. It is better to under water than to over water. The general rule is to allow the soil to completely dry out in between waterings.

- Snake plants naturally grow in arid environments and therefore do not need high humidity to thrive.

- When repotting, use a nutrient-rich and well-draining House Plant Soil mixed with Succulent Soil or with perlite for optimal drainage.  

- Snake plants are toxic to humans and pets if ingested. Keep away from young children and curious pets!

I'm new to plants, do you have a guide somewhere to help get me started?
We do! You can find all of our guides and more on our blog. If you still require further assistance, email us with your question(s) and one of our friendly and knowledgeable customer service agents will be more than happy to assist you.

What should I do with my plants once I receive them?
Unwrap the plants as soon as you can and remove any wood excelsior shreds to allow the soil to breathe (we use wood excelsior to keep soil in place during shipping). If the soil has dried out completely during transit, you can give the plant a sip of water. Air plants can be soaked upon arrival. Allow all plants some time to acclimate to your home environment.

Do I need to repot my new plants?
Although many growers consider repotting all their new plants a part of their practice, it isn't necessarily required. For the most part, succulents can stay growing in their nursery pots for a year or even two before needing to be repot because they are slow growers and have smaller root systems. House plants grow at a faster rate and may need to be repot shortly after you receive them. Keep in mind that most plants prefer to be root bound so our recommendation is that you should definitely repot your plants whenever their roots are growing out the top of the soil or through the drainage holes at the bottom. For more information on plant repotting, visit our guide Repotting House Plants - How and When to Do It.
