Sanseviera trifasciata, commonly called Mother-in-Law's Tongue or Snake Plant, is a tough, drought resistant plant that can be grown indoors or out in your mild gardening region. It will grow in full sun or in shade and does not need to be fertilized on a regular basis. Since you're growing yours in containers, you can mix your own potting soil blend. Use half potting soil and half cactus mix for your plants and you'll never have to worry about overly wet soils or soggy roots. Water regularly during the spring and summer months while your plant is actively growing but reduce watering during the winter months. Your Mother-in-Law's Tongue should thrive under these conditions. |
