2. 1. INTRODUCTION
➤ Snake plants, also known as
Mother-in-Law's Tongue, are a
popular houseplant known for
their striking, upright leaves
and low-maintenance care
requirements.
➤ Native to West Africa, these
plants have been a staple in
homes for centuries due to
their ability to purify the air and
bring a touch of nature
indoors.

3. 2. BENEFITS
➤ They are known to remove
harmful toxins and pollutants
from the air, such as
formaldehyde and benzene,
which can improve overall
indoor air quality.
➤ Studies have shown that being
around plants can improve
mental health and well-being,
boost productivity, and even
reduce stress levels.

4. 3. LIGHTING
➤ They can thrive in low-light
conditions, making them
perfect for rooms with limited
natural light. However, they
can also tolerate some direct
sunlight, so long as it's not too
intense.
➤ East- or west-facing windows
are ideal for snake plants, as
they provide gentle, indirect
light.

5. 4. WATERING
➤ Watering snake plants is a
breeze, as they are incredibly
drought-tolerant.
➤ Allow the soil to dry out
completely between waterings,
and avoid overwatering at all
costs.
➤ Overwatering can lead to root
rot and other issues, so it's
important to be mindful of your
watering schedule.

6. 5. SOIL
➤ Snake plants prefer well-
draining soil that is rich in
organic matter.
➤ A mix of peat moss and perlite
can provide the perfect
balance of moisture retention
and drainage.
➤ They can tolerate a range of
soil types, so long as they are
not too dense or prone to
waterlogging.

7. 6. TEMPERATURE
➤ Snake plants prefer
temperatures between 65-
75°F (18-24°C), but they can
tolerate a range of
temperatures.
➤ They do best in average room
temperatures, but can survive
in temperatures as low as
50°F (10°C) or as high as 80°F
(27°C).

8. 7. HUMIDITY
➤ Snake plants prefer average
humidity levels, but they can
tolerate dry air.
➤ They do best in humid
environments, but can survive
in dry environments with
minimal watering.

9. 8. PROPAGATION
➤ Simply divide the plantlet from
the mother plant, and plant it
in a new pot filled with well-
draining soil.
➤ Immerse the trimmed end of a
newly robust leaf in a
container of water and await
root growth prior to
transferring it into a cacti
compost.

10. 9. PESTS & DISEASES
➤ Snake plants are relatively low
maintenance, but they can be
susceptible to pests and
diseases.
➤ Common pests include spider
mites, mealybugs, and scale.
➤ Inspect your plant for any
signs of disease, such as
yellowing leaves or soft,
mushy stems.

11. CONCLUSION
➤ Snake plants are a versatile and low-maintenance addition to any
home.
➤ They provide numerous health benefits, are easy to care for, and can
thrive in a variety of lighting conditions.
➤ Snake plants can bring a touch of nature and elegance to any room in
your home.
