Substrate & Potting
Highly porous, fast-draining potting mix (e.g., standard potting soil mixed with 50% sand or perlite).
Rarely needed. Snake plants prefer to be root-bound. Repot only every 4-5 years in a heavy, sturdy pot.
Prune damaged or yellowed leaves by cutting them off at the base with a clean, sharp knife.
