Sunlight 6+ hours of bright INDIRECT sunlight. East or south facing is best. These plants are sensitive to direct sunlight; too much sun will burn your plant’s leaves.
The brighter the lighting the more your plant will thrive. It will tolerate low light levels, but expect slower, more leggy growth with smaller leaves,
Water Prefer mostly dry well drained soil. Let soil dry before watering it again. This is a succulent, so it stores water in its leaves and can tolerate infrequent watering. Avoid overwatering: This can lead to root rot, a common way to kill a snake plant. When you do water, water deeply until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Reduce watering in fall and winter: Growth slows during these months, so water less frequently.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity. Keep away from heating vents and cold drafts. Thrives between 65–80°F. Avoid temperatures below 55°F.
Plant Tip: Dracaenas can be sensitive to fluoride and mineral buildup in tap water, which may cause brown leaf tips. Rainwater, distilled water, or low-fluoride filtered water is ideal.
Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
