Laurentii Dwarf Snake Plant Care

The Snake plant ‘Laurentii Dwarf’ is nearly indestructible and ideal for a beginner houseplant owner. It only needs water if it’s completely dry, and can grow in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Watering Laurentii Dwarf Snake Plant 

Water this plant about every two to three weeks when the top few inches of soil become dry. This snake plant will tolerate the soil drying out completely between waterings. During the winter months, reduce watering. Avoid over-watering this plant since it is susceptible to root rot.
