Origin
Native to Central and West Africa, this plant grows naturally in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Gabon, Tanzania and the DRC.

Light
As far as light goes, your snake plant is easy - in low light, it will need less water and grow more slowly; it can stand some direct sun, too, which will help it grow more quickly and mean it needs water a little more frequently.

Water
Make sure the soil totally dries between waters; be mindful that this will take longer in lower-light areas, and over winter.

Humidity
Used to arid climates, your snake plant will thrive best in low-humidity environments. You can hose down the leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free, but make sure they dry out properly afterwards.

Soil
Use a well-draining soil; a blend for cacti and succulents (with sand and grit) would work well here. For an extra boost you can mix in bark as well which the plant will appreciate. Repot every three years in Spring as the plant grows. It doesn't mind being pot-bound for a while but will put out more new growth when it has more space.

Food
Feed every two months using a diluted fertiliser; one designed for cacti or just for houseplants generally will work fine. Make sure to water first to avoid burning the plant's roots.

Temperature
Temperatures between about 12-32°C are great- make sure it doesn't drop below 10°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
Snake Plants are great at growing in a variety of light levels, but make sure you tailor both your expectations and your watering schedule to the light level. You will need to water more in a bright location, and the plant will probably grow better too; in a dimmer location, water less and expect slower growth!
