Additional Care

You should prune your Snake Plant once every month by clipping odd dead leaves and twigs from the plant to maintain its beautiful appearance and to prevent it from becoming leggy.

Make sure that you are using a terracotta or mud pot that won't trap water inside it because your show Plant roots are prone to rot.

You should repot your interior plants once every year in a pot that is longer than a size bigger than the current pot to help your exotic plants grow the best during the spring or summer season. You must use a new potting mix for your plant then.
