Frequently asked questions
Snake Plant
Why are leaves soft at the base?
Persistently wet mix can damage roots and leaf bases. Check drainage and root condition before adding more water.
Can I cut a tall leaf shorter?
A cut leaf tip will not regrow its original point. Remove a damaged leaf at the base if necessary.
Does it work in a windowless bathroom?
Low-light tolerance does not mean no light. Use a location with daylight or suitable plant lighting.
Are new shoots another plant?
They are offsets from the rhizome. Leave them to fill the pot, or divide an established clump when repotting.
