Snake Plants prefer a well-drained soil with infrequent watering. If your plant is in a lower light situation, hold off on watering even longer. These plants are very tough and adaptable, but will thrive in medium to bright, indirect light. Plant in containers, rock gardens, Mediterranean gardens or bring them inside to grace your home.
Shorter cultivar of the popular "Snake Plant" Hardy to 30F.
