Simply put, snake plants can _survive_ low light, but only _thrive_ in sunny areas. Great video!
Thanks!
*_"Simply put, snake plants can survive low light, but only thrive in sunny areas. Great video!"_*
Isn't that obvious? 😵💫
@@JJ.R-xs8rf You would think so, but no.
Hahhaha! "They just sit there and take ages to die." On point!
😁
These plants grow in full blown sun. So i could never understand why its always listed as low light. I go by the more light they have the better they will grow.
So thank you for clearing this up for those that dont kn ow! ❤😂
I'm on a mission 😂
I guess what they really mean is that its type of plant that will survive even in a less amount of light. Of course most plants will still thrive in better light conditions.
I guess they just die slower 😂
I agree with another commenter- thank you for making me feel less weird for loving my plants, naming them, speaking to them, and always checking to see if they’re showing me a sign (like skinny leaves means stretching)!!! I used to just shrug off wilting leaves, or yellowing leaves never fully ‘understanding’ them. I now thoroughly enjoy examining root growth, keeping an eye for dead rotting leaves… caring for plants is more rewarding and fulfilling than HAVING plants. Thank you for all your hilarious and playful tips about better mindfulness!
My pleasure 😊
I love a hearty serving of comedy with some much needed planting advise. Thank-you Mr Sheffield!
Cheers!
Thank you

My snake plants are loving the return of sunshine here in Canada. They are all growing again 😀🇨🇦
Spring is great
Well, I live in one of the southernmost areas in Canada and still waiting on Spring. Had summer weather for several weeks in Feb-March, then it snowed!!! Into our rain of April now, but the tulips and daffs are up 🇨🇦
I thought I was the only one who hugs and their plants and treats them like pets😅 Always great advice! I got a hydrometer now it helps alot.
😁
I put my Snake plant in a sunny (South-facing) window. She flowered as a way of saying thank you
👌
Oh you’re going to make me move mine yet again 😅
Fun fact, my dad’s snake plant is something like 20+ years old it was left in the dark storage room with no water for 4 of those years. He still had it and it looks rather terrible but still alive .
I have a handful of various snake plants outside, in pots year round. I live in Phoenix. They get about 15 minutes of direct sun every morning. They're also on a south facing covered patio. They all survived our uncharacteristically hot summer last year too. Minus my aloe, they're the only plants that I didnt lose or bring inside. They showed no signs of stress and one of them exploded in growth. Then they all made it through our winter without any stress either. Our low temps were getting into the mid 30s. I'm really impressed with how hardy they are.
Very good 👍
I had a snake plant that was almost as tall as me (5’2) long story short, a hard freeze got it. I cried. I’ve got one little 4 inch baby left of it that’s finally ready to go into the dirt. Yes, they LOVE the sun, but not direct sunlight. They do “ok” in low light areas, but prefer a sunny spot. (Why mine was almost 5ft tall)
Yours are outside then. Where do you live?
@@SheffieldMadePlants As I said, long story short 😂 I’m in Alabama US, I had stored it in an outdoor shed for the time being, as I had nowhere inside to store it. We had a freak ice/snow storm (typical for north AL). Unfortunately, I was away at the time, so I couldn’t move it inside, and the only thing I could do was hope for the best. 🤷♀️
@@leah__gailI can imagine it was beautiful how long had you been growing it?
@@gailtalley8037 Thank you, it was!! I think it was between 8-10 years old.
Thank you! It is so sad to see how snake plants have been treated. In Mexico, they get full on SUN and grow and bloom like crazy. I saw them used as a fence before! One of my absolute favorite plants :)
Thank you for this! I’ve been wondering why mine are growing so slowly/ not at all! Thanks for your amazing advice and knowledge ❤
Happy to help!
Yup I have no idea why people love to list them as "low level plants" bc they're just as affected if not more by levels of light that are too low then any other plant but they just don't outwardly show it like other plants do.
Thank you so much Richard, I really really enjoyed listening to you talk about Snake Plants, I have a large one and it sits in my bedroom quite a way from the window, so I’m going to put it in the window during the day, because it’s going to be very very happy then. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Fish tank water is like magic. Even my fussiest plants love it.
Makes sense! The ph in the water is so carefully cared for. And, the plant food I use is made from kelp. It is my magic stuff! I have it shipped across Canada to me (really big country) and isn't the cheapest. It is so much worth it! I have rescued a number of plants using this stuff and they all thrive!
Same here. Do a water change and keep the water in buckets to water all my plants with. Works well for me too.
I do a good tank water change and keep the water in buckets to water all my plants with. Works well for me too and has done for years. Glad you're sharing that one with everyone. I do love all my snake plant varieties, I recommend a Starfish one 😊
The soil stinks after a while..
@@funonvancouverisland I just hit reply to second this comment, and now notice your username indicating we may be neighbors! I stopped watering with aquarium water due to the aroma too. Best way is to skip the soil altogether and grow the plants out the top of your aquarium!
Howdy from the Comox Valley.🎉
Thank you for Sharing your houseplants lovely snake plants lovely video
This was very useful. Love your easy going and playful style as well. You’re doing a great job giving us good information. Keep up the good work Sir. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! Will do!
A good reminder for me to take my 20 yo sansevieria out for a Shawshank Shower. 😂 Hoping for new growth since I transplanted it three years ago. Thanks for another informative video!
Thanks for watching 😁
Me, an indigenous Nigerian trying to make sure my indoor snake plants have all they need...and PLEASANTLY surprised that they are a native plant to my country. Neatttt ✨
During the summer I yeet my snakeplants out to the little greenhouse on my southward terrace, where temperatures rise up to 60 degrees Celsius. I had to repot one of my snakeplants twice, because it grew like crazy. They love not only good amount of sunlight but a drop in temperature too.
Yep, my listless snake plants are thriving and setting offsets in 6+ hours of sun. Also, more sun = more water. These ones love a serious drink (I soak the whole pot) when the soil is dead dry. They weigh a ton because all that water is up in the leaves
Absolutely true in my experience. They’ll survive in low light. But they grow and expand in bright light. I have to divide and repot mine right now.
I bought a 4 pack of lazy Susan's for easy rotating for my heavy plants..
Thanks for your great snake plant care tips😻
You bet!
My snake plant is blooming ! I have never seen that before
I'm jelly!
Do tell, more info please if you don’t mind, how old, your care regimen, soil type…. Nosey😅
@@gailtalley8037 It is my son's plant but it has been here in Montana for the last three years . I don't know how old it is . I have really great south windows and the sun is strong here at 5,300 feet . I let it dry out then water maybe every two weeks ,fertilize once a month . I also use some Super Thrive now and then . All my plants do very well here and I believe it is because of the great sun exposure .
@@gailtalley8037Full sun
When I got my snake plant a few years ago I was cautioned about too much light. So I put it in indirect light. Then I saw your video. You convinced me to move my snake plant closer to the sunlight and a miracle happened! Just a few days later I discovered a couple of tall new leafs heading for the sun. Thank you!!! 💕
Nice!
Small pot, high-organic matter soil (peat moss), sun, water well when dry, and don’t let water sit in a saucer. They will grow faster than you think.
Yes i agree. So many tags on snake plants say low light. It makes me so mad! Sansevierias are my second favorite type of plant. I have lots of them.
What's your favourite?
I love love love hoyas
Been there! 🙋🏼♀️
Moved mine to a south facing window and boom! Its happier than a clam and growing like crazy. Now I need to propagate it since its too big..lol. 😊
As always, thanks for the superb content!
That is awesome!
1:54 looked like he gave you the middle finger after you flicked him 😂
😅
As someone with bioactive reptile terrariums, the reptile community has known for years that snake plants are some of the feeder plants that thrive in hot, high uv environments!
👏👏, low light doesn’t mean no light. Love this video, you are absolutely correct. I also moved my moonshine sansevieria from a low light corner to a more bright spot and she’s already putting on new spring growth. Acclimate slowly towards more light . Love your channel🌿 congrats on 300k 🥳,1 million is next☺️
You're a super ⭐️
🤗thanks you !
Perfect timing! I left my snake in a new, slightly sunny location while I am traveling, and was intending to see how it liked it better. Hope it will show me on my return that it's a "yes!" so I can rearrange it to thrive more. Thanks!
Thank you bro !!always learning more and more,appreciate your time to make videos…
Thank you Firoza! Seems like you've been with me since the beginning 👍
low light spot in your home plus growlight!
Mine just produce tons of pups, but dont seem to grow taller. I follow all this advice and am growing them on a sunny east facing window that gets plenty of light at least until noon. The ZZ next to them is a giant monster by now, while snake plant just wants to produce a midget army 😂
Must be the variety. They are slow growers though
Are you sure it's not one of the dwarf ones that you have? They tend to grow out rather than up
@@cherie7100your comment right here! I just learned something, had no idea there was a dwarf variety 😮
Blessings 💜
Mr. Sheffield: Miss Fine, what are you doing here?
Fran: Well, I heard moaning and screaming coming from your room and I figured... I should be part of it.
😅
I just love your videos ! Your not only extremely knowledgeable and helpful, you’re sooo funny and make me laugh ❤ thank you ❣️
Thanks!
Hi Rich, told you about my snake plant is over 50 years old. Spliced it into two pots that they grew six foot. I think if as you say put in the high light area. I water them down the middle of the plant even two weeks and rotate as you teach. Thank you for teaching us parents the best. Please have a great spring. Wish we could send you pics.🦁
Sounds great. You can send pics to my email or insta
Always great advice. I have also adopted the 1/2 strength fertilizer. Great idea! I like that you mentioned growth tips and tricks with snake plants and not just saying it's low light. 😂
Much appreciated
I love this channel.
Thank you 😊
I agree...snake plants don't like low light, they tolerate it. I have put my snake plants outside (east facing balcony) for the last 2 years. Sadly, I have to tell Mr. Snake he isn't going out this year. He loves it out there so much he now is in a 12" pot (and I can barely lift him..and I have no desire to divide him..he worked hard to grow). He was a beast to repot last fall. Mrs Snake (also in a 12" pot) needs to fill in, so she will go outside. Snake Jr...we will see. My point is...give them as much light as possible if you want a big plant (and no...I don't use grow lights).
I bet he's been looking forward to it too 😁
@SheffieldMadePlants He has...in fact he has been sitting right by the sliding glass door since last fall just waiting....makes me sad. lol But again...I can barely lift him so... lol
Now that's plant love thanks for sharing ❤
Mine is more than 150cm tall, I've had it for more than 25 years. It filled a 35cm pot until I repotted it last year and thinned it. It is quickly refilling that pot.
Good going 👍
I put my little 1ft. snake plant in a spot where it just happened to be at the right angle to get 30 mins of direct morning sun and 30 mins of direct late afternoon sun with bright indirect light in between. After many years it's turned into a dense 5' monster that constantly puts out new growth.
Great stuff 👍
That's an awesome hack which I'm going to do on my next plant shopping trip. Beautiful pot as well. I so agree regarding propagation. Cutting into pieces was a sure fail. I'm not big on propergation anyway, however, dividing a mother plant is quite satisfying. Cool video 🌿🌿🌿
Thanks!
Ah yes, one of my favorite plants!! ❤❤ Thank you!
Thank you for the many tips and the fun facts always make my day!
My pleasure 😊
One of my favorite plants. I am very lucky to have 16 different types. I like that you mentioned using fresh aquarium water because that’s what I use after water changes. Great video. Thank you 😊
Thanks!
I don’t have a snake plant yet - just can’t seem to find one that is not damaged. I’m on the hunt 😅. TFS, AllisonLP
This is making me want a snake plant. Soon we'll be in a lower-light condition, though, once the trees around our house get their leaves. I'm thinking of using lights in one room and can have a snake plant move in there as well. About the watering, that was THE KEY for me as well. I never understood it right, and I killed a family heirloom because of doing it wrong. I would recommend this video to non-snake plant parents for that info/reminder alone. Thanks!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for another amazing video full of great information snake plants are my most favorite plant in the world so it's nice to get a bit more info to make them happy
You bet!
Very useful, thank you!
You bet!
Thank you for sharing 🌿🌿
Thanks for watching 😁
Diabolical....but what a fantastic idea. Thank you Mr Sheffield.
Love my 2 snake plants, Monty (python) and Medusa 🐍🌱
I name my plants too (:
I have 4 pots of very tall plants that are propagated from 1 plant given to my mom when she turned 16 . That was 70 years ago! One of them blooms 2x a year and now has 3 stalks of flowers over 2 feet tall. I love how they smell - like old, musty books. If youve never seen the flowers they grow staggered up the stem and look like festive, white, delicate fireworks. They exude drops of sticky nectar that can rival Super glue. Its a horror to get it off your hands. I love these plants. Only issue i have is the leaves are skinny at the bottom on some spikes and they bend/bow over . They sure love crowded pots tho. Thanks for your videos
Sounds great
Shawshank style 😂
I always enjoy and learn from your videos 👍
Thank you 😊
The key to watering is: overwatering is far more likely to kill your plant, than underwatering.
My grandmother outright neglects her snake plants and yet they thrive to an absurb degree. Have done so for decades. It makes no sense and genuinely drives me a bit batty.
some of those bloody plant peddlers will tell you anything to get you to purchase it! i learned that in my younger days for sure. all plants need light
Thank you!
5:57 Shawshank Style 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG
😁
You are so AWESOME!!!
Same to you!
Me again Rich, my snake plants are playing Ted in a pot three foot tall with rocks in bottom then put swimming pool noodles cutup. Making pot a bit heavy so the shallow roots. This balance the six foot faced You are so right in dividing. I have given so many snake plants from them
Video request! Iridescent plant experiment? I think the begonia you’ve got in the back(the one with green on the right) is one of the tons of begonias that can flash iridescent blue when grown in low lights.
I finally got a begonia pavonina recently after years of trying to find one in the UK, and come to find out all different kinds of Rex begonias can get iridescent if you grow them in low enough light - but enough to keep them alive. I might be wrong about your specific one, but I’d love to see an experiment done by someone more experienced on that(or another) Rex begonia purposely grown in LL conditions to see how blue it can get. There’s some really cool pics of their iridescence online
Congrats on 300k btw! Well earned 👏
Thank you 😊
I don't have a snake plant, but I do have three yuccas and one of them just reached 6 ft ❤ the other is just over 4ft, the other is a baby. They are really gorgeous.
The thing is very few plants can survive in as low a light a snake plant can survive in. The only two plants I know that can survive in just as low a light are ZZ plants and parlor Palms.
All Facts
I'm a fan of sybotanica too!
I´m very happy for what you said here - hopefully we will see more healthy & happy sansevierias 🙂
I disliked sansevieria very much. I discovered that it was because I saw only sad looking ones. Then I met a lush, fat and colourful sansevieria and I fell in love with it instantly. Now I have a whole collection of them 🙂 They can look spectacular when healthy (thanks to sufficient light) 🙂
Great stuff 👍
I have mine in full sun outdoors in south Florida. They are also everywhere down here. Next to canals, on the side of the road, etc..
Lapping up that sunshine
Any chance you could do a video on the best hydroponics kits to buy? I don't have a lot of space and looking to buy one with the heat lamp attached with the special grow plugs and self watering system from west kent
Awwww missed opportunity to say “snake plant charmer”. 😂
🤦♂️
When you put Mr Snake in the closet!! Lmao
Poor fella
👍👍👍Thank you🙂
agreed!
So true... It loves light. I put mine indoors it looks sad and didn't grow for 3 months.
Put it outside where the sun blast it with it's full rays and it grew tall and I now have problems to repot the leaves cause it grew fast.
Will try this on my new bought Whale fin, just need to find a decent location for it.
Great stuff 👍
I no longer wear sun factor.. stop us getting vit D... Your videos are excellent 👌
Glad you like them!
I checked the roots on mine, they look fine. But it’s wrinkled and droopy even a couple days after watering it. 🤷🏻♀️debating just chopping them down to like 3 inches tall and waiting for new leaves to grow.
After a few visits to Florida and seeing how common this roadside weed is there, I could never spend good money for the snake plant. YMMV.
Mine is right up front, next to my Monstera getting 12 hrs of bright light a day. The pot has so many babies that after 7-8 months I prob should repot.
1:54 It even looks like your green friend is giving you the finger for placing him there. Probably should have been a sign!!
😅
In Denmark we call it: the sharp tongue of our mother-in-law 😅
Lol
I’ve had a snake plant for years, and it’s grown to a pretty good size. I definitely use my Mr. Sheffield recommended moisture meter before I decide to water it. I’m not that good at wiping off the dust though.
Great, informative video, thanks. I have my snake plants in a south facing window in Northern England but I have a light weight net type curtain there so their leaves don't get scorched, is that not right & should I take it away? Thanks
Sounds good
The sun shines in my southern facing windows all winter. Not much sun coming in during the summer. What to do.
Be careful though with the direct sun.
I burned my snake plants when I put them on the balcony and the german summer almost killed it.
You are so entertaining and I’ve learned so much! I adore snake plants but I’m horrible with plants so haven’t had the heart to bring one in to die under my sad frustrating attempts to love it to death. This gives me hope.
Thanks!
Nice
Cocopeat is best for snake plants. You can make your non yellow strip plant bushy by cut one old leaf. It it in 4 and inert in dame pot. In few weeks you will find baby plants. I tried and it worked. For yellow strip, leaf will bring just green plant so better not to apply same hack on yellow strip plant.
I haven’t watered my huge snake plant in over a year. 😂
I just checked a damaged leaf I cut off my snake plant and stuck in some water in an old medicine bottle with a piece of philodendron I wanted to root that was on 3-10-24 and it’s got 2 little roots 😊💃🏾
😁
Mr. Sheffield, help! Success!! I did a chevron cut on a snake plant leaf and put it in water. I changed the water as directed. It's been a few months and there are lots of roots but I was waiting for the roots to grow roots, which is what my daughter heard. I checked the other day and I've got TWO PUPS growing straight up from the cut edge!!! 💖💖What do I do now? Cover with dirt? Keep in water until larger? Anyone have ideas?
When you see roots & pups, time for puppy bed..(dirt) Love pups! Congrats! Rev. J 😊
you have an Retro glass cupboard
Do you mix api stress coat with fertilizers?
Yep
