Ive definitely been overwatering, but somehow my plant has been going since the 1980's. I guess I need to put it in my will, as it could well outlive me.
Holy smokes! You've been doing something right for it to live that long. I wouldn't change a thing. Obviously it's adapted to your conditions
Terracotta pots are the way to go with snake plants, they allow moisture to seep through the pots helping to prevent root rot. I tend to shy away from plastic or glazed pots. Just a helpful tip, ♥️.
I 100% agree! Most of my succulents/cactus are in terracotta for this very reason
Thank you I think I just found a solution.
Any recommendations for how to repot when you have root root rot ? How to or what soil is best
Can we cool in doors By using plantation .If it is possible then share your comments. Thanks.
Once upon a time, "someone I know" left her mother-in-law-tongue plant in the front hall and forgot completely about it for six months. It was fine.
I know, right?!?!?! They are crazy resilient
Haha I thought "mother-in-law" nickname is not a common knowledge 😂. Made me laugh. Thanks.
@@fatimatkhakakhova5359 hahaha.
Haha mother in law leave her alone
thank u❤
I'm new to planets and I have a great fear of killing them. However, I bit the bullet and picked up a snake plant. Call him Vern. Got him in the window, watching this video and crossing my fingers in hoping I don't have to conduct a funeral in the up coming months. So, a lot is riding on this video to help me keep Vern alive. So, I'll be checking in from time to, time to re-educate myself on the care and wellbeing of my new buddy VERN!
Vern likes to be left alone for a lot of the time. If you pester and baby him.... unfortunately he may cut his stay a bit short. Haha YOU GOT THIS PAUL
How is Vern now? 🤞
My mom has a huge snake plant that was HER grandmother's. And I just brought back a baby from that plant on the plane with me to pot... the plant has been around for now 4 generations! Thanks for the helpful tips, plants are my new hobby and this video was incredibly helpful for me to grow my baby snake plant 😊
My snake plants are not growing. It had taken 4 or 5 month ,that I took them in my home.They look like same. What should I do,,, ple ase help me..
@@tridibkarmokar1754Pretty much everything said in the video, just good cactus soil and if you have trouble overthinking watering just put to your calendar watering every month. Just forget it exist and it will be doing just amazing 😄 dont forget the sunlight
Thanks a lot
@@WhiteenViewer
I absolutely love this! I so want it your mom's maternal grandmother.
Amazing tips, well explained! Thanks a million❤
Truly one of the most helpful videos on these plants! The wrinkles, the propagation, the light required - planning for winter and now have a better idea about where to put my Sansevieria collection- thank you!
Thanks Sandra! I am so glad that you found this useful. I hope you check out some more videos on my channel!
I truly love my snake plants...started with one, then it had babies and gave about 8 away. Now have 6 for myself. And one has finally flowered! I am such a happy plant momma!
That is so awesome that it flowered. Did yours have a smell at all?
@@EverythingPlants It was very faint and sweet. I had to really stick my nose up to it. 😉
Any tips on what to do with the swords that are already damaged from root rot? Do I just cut off all of it from the root or do I only cut what is damaged? Also after I switch the pot and soil do I water it or not, because my snake plant does have root rot
@@EverythingPlants If you check, you may find the fragrance stronger during the evening.

These plants are one of the easiest to care for. Just move them around until they find a spot they are happy in. Not a difficult plant at all and water from the bottom, let them tell you how much water they want. They also love it outside, so if you have a patio or front yard with some shade, plant them and they will do great. A bit invasive, so they multiply quite a bit, but give you more plants that you can share with family and friends.
I love my snake plant, I got bought it when I moved to university, it’s now three years old, I can go ages without watering as my room doesn’t have the best light. The way this plant just keep chugging along is amazing.
That is awesome!
I put a sansevieria outside still initspot and left it against the back fence and forgot about it for more than two years. Last week I found it again, doing great multiplied many times. I cleaned it up, repotted it and brought it back inside.
Hey Paul. That is so awesome!!!
I originally bought mine because it was low light. It survived & I moved it to a sunny window temporarily when rearranging my house. It stayed in the sunny window longer than I intended & has thrived as a result! 😁
That is awesome! They love the light
Thanks for the knowledge of taking care of snake plants, the first time i had them I killed them coz I don’t have the idea to take care of them now watching your videos I learned and my snake plants regrowing ❤
Thanks for the info! I’ve been having to take care of an almost 32 year old Snake Plant & it was neglected for probably 30 of those 32 years but it’s still kicking!
That is the secret haha NEGLECT
'I love the bright light. I love to boogie.'

😂
Great info. I’ve wondered about using cactus mix soil for snake plants. Thanks!
My experience with Mother-In-Laws Tounge has always been to make sure the plant gets plenty of sun, isn't crowded in the pot, is occasionally over-watered, and occasionally under-watered. They thrive in the right spot and with a fair amount of indifference.
I love my snake plants. One of them just sprouted 2 babies. It’s in a terracotta planter. I love the look of it. One happy plant mama!
Yay! That's awesome Mendi!
A very timely video for me. I love watering my plants and the temptation is always there. Watching this video has reminded me to not water my snake plants just yet! Thank you ☺️
Nice! Thanks Grace.
I've had these for a long time and didn't know they would flower until last year. I was quite surprised.
Did you notice if they had a smell?
Love the content delivery, clear, straight to the point without clickbait and unnecessary entertainment. Keep it going!
Thank you ! I have two snake plants and the newer addition is growing like a weed and the older is filling out the pot too. Great video !
Thank you for helping us have happier Snake Plants!!!🤩😍🤩
👍
Thank you for explaining what was needed to know right away and I love all the information. You Rock
Thanks so much knightque
Thanks for the reminder Jeff, to start backing off on the water for winter.Snake plants are one of my favorite plants.
I'll be honest.....I never liked them until a few years ago haha
This is the first video on snake plants that taught me something new, thanks!
Thanks Lesley! I was hoping it would be of value
Really appreciate the information! You gave many valuable tips that I’m sure I’ll use on my 4 pots of snake plants!
That is awesome Carol and thanks for watching!
Was gifted one and put it in moisture control potting soil. Will correct shortly. Good looking out!👍
I have 3 pots of snake plant. Now I know what to do now! Thank you!
Good luck April!
Most complete info. I've found online.
Thank you
Great video as always!!! Thanks Jeff!!! 🌱🌿💚
Thanks!
Thank you I am adding this to my collection.
Nice! I agree to everything you have shared. And thank you for sharing the light intensity instrument. My problem is with the dwarf types. I am in a slightly agricultural area where a lot of microscopic mites attack the core.
Oh no....so does all the new growth come out damaged?
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. It was extremely helpful!
Thanks for watching
Very clear and concise, thank you 👍
Awesome video man. You are concise, informing and easy to listen to. Change nothing, keep teaching.
Thanks Andrew! I hope you stick around for more videos.
Thanks for all the information. Very informative, I have several plants, mostly in a North window. I’m going to transplant both of them in the spring.
Good luck Lorri!
Thanks this really helped me car for my plant have a blessed day
Fantastic video thank you so much I've had my snake plant now for a month and may have been overwatering it looking forward to following your advice and seeing how the plant thrives. Thank you again
This was so much more helpful than the info on other plant channels, thank you!
Thanks so much Kathy!
Thank you so much for this information...I was given one as a gift and now I know how to take proper care of it. Guilty of over watering😟
Thank you for sharing the caring for snake plant tips. I’ve learned something.
😊👏❤️👍🙏
Thanks for watching Kelly
Helpful, informative, interesting - thank you!
I'm absolute beginner and i've been watching your videos lately and they help me a lot to understand what do my plants need so yeah, Thank you💚💙
Thanks Tonkatiny!
Thanks, good to learn more! What I like is that snake plants are natural air purifiers as they can remove harmful chemicals, like formaldehyde, commonly used in building materials, most likely also in your bedroom furniture.
How fantastic is this! I'm so excited right now. 😀 I just bought some sansaveria. A Tiger, a Forest and a Starfish plants. Now I bought the Tiger and the Forest for my mother and the Starfish is mine. The Forest has 2 little plants growing along the edge just like you showed in your video. We had both been wondering what to do about the babies until I watched your video. Thanks so much! I really needed the tutorial on propagation.
Thanks for watching Willowfire. And you can keep the babies on or cut them off!
Thank you. Starting with this snake plant in my new home
Good luck Edgar
Here in Sydney I have mine on my front portico in a North East facing corner and it's lovin' life! ☺

Really appreciative wasn't to sure s bout the watering but learned now. Used to water every second day. Not any more and keeping mine in nit too sunny spot. Taking it out to the sun once in two days
I hope they do well for you Hazel!
I had a snake plant years ago that was my grandmother's. It was totally pot bound and bloomed. The flower is VERY fragrant!
Yes! Their blooms are so neat!
Great video as always! Thank you!
Thanks Carolina!
Thank you Thank you! I'm just beginning a snake plant from the drug store. It's growing so quickly after I moved it to a better pot. I'll be careful with the watering now.
Thank you for this, sir. God bless you all.
You are very welcome
Great tip about checking for a little bit of wrinkling!! I keep mine in an east facing window and water about once per month, but am always wondering if that's optimal for them.. now I know what to look for, thank you!! Also great tip about making sure to dump any water out of their cups
Thanks for watching Funshine Bear!
Really good video , thank you for sharing this excellent experience.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I have two that I bought last year from the "sale rack" at a big box store. I wasn't sure I could revive them. However, I brought them home, stuck them in a corner next to a large window and forgot about them. I think I accidently followed your advice. They are doing fairly well. :)
Great to hear!
Thank you so much sir for sharing this video. I had some snake plants. Now I know for taking care of snake plants,
God Bless you 🙏 and your family
Have a wonderful day 😊
I use a moisture meter. Surprised you didn't mention one since you have the cool gadget to determine lighting. Thanks for the video. My snake plants are in South facing window and loving it.
I don't really need one for these guys because I let the soil get BONE DRY! You are correct in using a moisture meter for plants. I definitely should have mentioned it along with using the soil and leaves to determine if it needs water.
I didn’t know about the wrinkles at the bottom of the stems. Thank you for this great info!
Thanks for watching Yoly Rom
Yes! The wrinkles-the MOST HELPFUL tip! Thank you!
Thank you,I’ve been thinking about getting a snake plant.
They are seriously great and interesting plants
Perfectly helpful. Thank you! 😄👍💖🌱🌿🌷

I love snake plant I have two big ones in my northern bedroom and they both flowered this summer quite interesting and quite unique flowers
Nice! Mine also flowered this summer. Did yours have a fragrance at all?
@@EverythingPlants Yes it did have a smell like a lily
I recently repotted my snake plant into larger pot and it has 2 new growth . I used potting mix with perlite. Im hopeful its ok and not die🤞
Thanks for another great video jeff👍
Should be good with perlite! Nice job
Mine is huge I only had it for 2 yrs I can barely pick it up . In the summer time I put it in my gazebo, I water it a lot it keeps on growing babies with huge beautiful flowers .
I just brought all of mine in for the winter. Hopefully they will all make it through the winter under low light. I’ll be careful not to water much.
They'll do fine
I love these plants. But I usually kill them turn brown, soggy; but u have help me I'm going to try again. Thanks.
You can do it Alice!
I have one that I keep in an east facing situation. It gets what I would call moderate light. I find that the less I do to it, the better it does. Yes, it tells me when it's thirsty and that's when I water it.
Sounds like you got a good handle on yours.... Thanks so much for watching
I love snake plants I have 2 beautiful babies. One is shooting up so fast and the other is getting wider and fuller
Great information! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks very much for your information I'll try 😊
Good luck Sandra!
Sooo helpful, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Ms Roun
Thanks for telling about the little wrinkles indicating the plant needs water. I never knew when to water mine. Almost killed it once with too much water. 💚🌱🪴🌿💚
Now you know!
well, you answered the problem i have with mine.. Thank you.. maybe now I can salvage mine .
I'm curious what the problem was....
Thank you. I learned not to put my plant in low light and water it less. I hope it will be happier now :)
I hope so too. Thanks for watching Lisa
Good one. I really appreciate you talking about every plant even the one people usually do not talk about like jade and Sansavierias.
I ave several of the latter and really love them. They also flower. I find the perfume pleasant and stronger at night.
Happy Thanksgiving
My whitney flowered this summer. It was awesome, but I didn't notice any scent to it.
I gave my son a Trifasciata Laurentii in 2019 as a new home gift and it is finally pot bound and voila - blooming this week 🎉
Super helpful. Thanks.
You are welcome Teff!
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thanks for watching ZAP!
I have all mine in full south facing light in my conservatory, they grow like crazy, need loads of water and flower every year 💚
How often are you watering?
Thank you, very informative
Thanks Lynn!
excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks Dina!
very helpful...thank you!
Haha.....you are welcome. Which department do you service? 😂
I got my grandma’s snake plant that she had for as long as I could remember. It was way over grown to the point it was tried together and leaning against a wall so it wouldn’t fall over. I got in last winter and didn’t want to start cutting it back until summer. The reading I did said not to cut more than 1/3 of the plant. I think I only saving 5-10% of the plant. I split in up into three pots, two of me and one for my mom. I water my two every week maybe two cups of water. They are in bigger pots but I knew they would be in shock. I think that was at the end of June and all of the shoots have new leaving and quite a lot of them.
As winter is coming I probably will go every other week or every 3 weeks with a couple cups water. So far I have had luck with my watering.
Thank you very good information.
Thanks, Millie
Thank you info very helpful.
Thanks Caroline
Awesome video brother
Thanks so much!
lots of light feed once a month. cactus soil. Thanks for info.
Thanks Lynn
nicely tip sharing beautiful so green
Thanks!
I'm a new sub, and I'm window shopping like a fiend perusing your background plants. Love is in the air. Lol. I was gifted my snake plant 8+ years ago from a single stalk and have just done my first version of propagation. Ho-ly- Hell, if my guys survive it'll be despite me not because of me. Lol! I used water heavily during the process in a panic that the roots would get scorch and kill the individual pieces. I worried I had waited too long to separate it and that it was choking out. I left it in the sun too long and it bleached to the palest yellow.Thank goodness this plant is a beast and has been able to withstand my ministrations. I thought this would be a plant able to survive my 5% sun exposure home. Now I feel negligent on that front as well, uuugh! It survived but was it happy?
I love the hints and tips that you show us so we can "listen" to the plant and know what it needs. I've got some vids to check out now so you keep doing you. And thanks for sharing.
Wow! You really put that plant through the ringer haha. Glad it survived. Thanks for subscribing and looking forward to see you more in the comments!
Thanks,very helpful
Thanks for watching!!!
