The Snake Plant features stiff, upright, sword-like leaves banded or edged in gray, silver, or gold and adds life to a brightly lit room at home, a lightly shaded porch, or in the office. It grows best near a sunny window. Water when the top couple inches of the soil are dry (about once a week) and be sure all excess water drains away. If the container does not have holes, use approximately 1 cup of water, adjust as needed for your environment. Do not let the Snake Plant sit in water or overly soggy soil. This hardy indoor plant is very adaptable to a wide range of growing conditions. The height at shipping is approximately 12 inches tall, measured from the bottom of the pot to the top of the plant. The Snake Plant ships in a lightweight, 6-inch decor planter; made from a 100% recyclable #5 material. To avoid water spillage, this container does not have holes. The Snake Plant is a slow to moderate grower depending on its environment and is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11. Give it a boost during the warm months of Spring and Summer with a general-purpose fertilizer that is formulated for house plants. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for the best use. When the plant out grows the current container, it is time to repot. To repot the Fiddle Leaf Fig, gently remove it from its current container and place it into a slightly larger container. Fill in any empty spaces with new and fresh soil and water thoroughly. Be aware of third-party sellers; other companies try to imitate our quality. There are no other authorized Costa Farms sellers.
