It can also be placed under a shaded patio during the summertime. Since it can tolerate a bit of neglect, these plants can be placed where you might forget to water them from time to time.
Gold Flame Snake Plant Sunlight Requirements
The Gold Flame Snake plant is best grown in warm, bright locations but can tolerate shade. This plant would do well in any bright spot in your house, especially near a south-facing window with a sheer curtain on it. Make sure to protect it from hot afternoon sunlight, especially if on a patio in the summer.
Gold Flame Snake Plant Care
Gold Flame is a great low-maintenance indoor plant. It can tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions. Like many houseplants, the Gold Flame Snake Plant may be placed in a shady outdoor location in the summer. They are easy to propagate by leaf cuttings or by dividing offsets.
Watering Gold Flame Snake Plant
Overwatering often leads to root rot, so make sure to let this plant dry out completely before watering it. Water your Gold Flame Snake plant regularly during its growing season (spring and summer). Try to avoid pouring water directly into the rosette in the center of the plant where new growth occurs.
