Snakes plants are known for being one of the easiest types of plants to care for, making them extremely popular indoor plants. Their sword-like leaves are solid, and stiff, and add a sense of drama.
Easy-Care Snake Plants For Your Home
Snake plants like a warm but dry climate and they have a surprisingly easy feeding and watering schedule. They actually make up a large portion of our plants in our ‘unkillable’ plant collection, making them perfect for first-time plant parents.
Also known as snake plants, these excellent plants can remove toxic pollutants from the air. They help to keep the air pure and healthy, and they can be effective against allergies too.
Snake plants are typically easy-going, and low-maintenance. They will tolerate low light but do prefer a spot with some indirect light (basically just not on a window sill with the constant sun). When it comes to watering, you need to let the soil dry out, and water it thoroughly until you can see water leaking out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot.
