Planting & Care

When repotting your Whale Fin Snake Plant, choose a container with drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Water thoroughly after repotting, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Place the plant in a location with low to bright indirect light; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

This plant is drought-tolerant and prefers to be kept on the dry side. Water sparingly, especially during winter months, and never let the plant sit in water. Fertilize lightly once in spring and once in summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Remove dust from leaves periodically to keep them looking their best.
