It's a long life plant and continues to grow in surroundings by producing baby plants. It's leaves show whitish colour. It can attain height upto 4 feet. Leaves are erect, fleshy and with white-green stripes on entire leaves. After a period of time, it becomes more dense. In such case, we can separate them and pot them in new pot to make separate plant. Re-potting will help the plant to grow roots.

This plant is almost maintenance free. Even without fertilisers, this plant will show satisfactory growth. Even with low level of atmospheric humidity (20% ), this plant continues to grow healthily. During extreme cold weather (below 10⁰ C), its growth will reduce.

Watering & Sunlight:  We should water this plant, if soil has become fully dry. The snake plant can grow well in temperatures between 15 and 38⁰ C. It's very easy to grow. Even if you don't water for 2 weeks, it will not die. But leaves may suffer temporary damage. Do not water them excessively, especially during the cold weather. They can live under ultra low sunlight also.

Soil:   This plant loves to grow in aerated potting mix. This plant does not need frequent fertilizers. Drainage in pot is necessary by making sufficient holes in bottom. To make the ideal potting mix, 30 % drainage media (river sand/ Leca/ Perlite/ Pumice or rice husk- use any two of them, Pumice & Leca recommended) in potting mix should be available. In rest of the potting mix, we should mix Cocopeat, vermi – compost and wood Charcoal in equal ratio. We suggest not to mix Soil.
