Need a plantcaster channel! Snake plants are the easiest of the easy. Biggest mistake is over watering it. Lean towards every other week and only if the dirt is bone dry. Try Pothos (hanging fun) or monstera (Palm with holes) next!

Congrats! 🌱 I have one of these, not only is it impossible to kill, they also propagate like crazy

A snake plant is such a great first plant! Agree with all the tips people have shared. Underwatering is definitely better than overwatering. Putting it near a source of bright indirect light really helps too 🪴

You made an excellent choise going with snake plant as your first plant. Think of it as a capybara of plants, need very less care, you can keep it anywhere, need less water and can survive winter/sun. Plastic can stay, you can remove it when changing the pot next year.

Seems we have been minting the same open edition 😅 Don't worry they are super strong. Only 1 liter of water every 2 weeks for your little one and they will grow healthy 🌿

Good choice. Super low maintenance. This one has been by my desk for two years and is still growing

Congrats 😊 I have a ton of plants and I use the same approach for all of them Wait until they are uncomfortably dry and then completely drench them I’ve lost a few fussy exotics this way (RIP velvet Elvis) and I accidentally overwatered a couple of pothos to death But 100% effective for snake, spider, zz, etc

Remember how it looks now. It looks happy! If it starts looking sad (wilty, yellowing/brown, crispy, pale, generally life force gone) it probably needs something. - If soil is dry/crumbly probably water - If soil is wet probably less water - Otherwise probably more sun or if it’s been a long time maybe new pot

The wrap looks like packaging. Put a plastic bag down so you don’t get soil everywhere. Remove it out of the pot by gently turning the plant side ways and shimmying it out. Take out the packaging and pop it back in. Since you just got it, it prob doesn’t need to be repotted with new soil yet. You got this! 👍

overwatering those is very easy to do, let it get suuper dry between waterings

These are super tough to kill. Ours is thriving on barely any water. Yes you can take the plastic off 😅!

Haha, very nice! Since the wrap isn’t intertwined with the root system, you will be okay removing it and potting. Just be gentle. If you ever need to repot and remove old dirt from around the roots, then you want to wait until spring with most plants.
