• About Snake plants

  If you’re looking for a plant that needs very little attention, you can’t go wrong with a snake plant. Almost unkillable, they thrive on neglect, making them a great option for beginners, or those who’ve experienced a few too many leafy fatalities (it happens to the best of us). 

  To care for Susie, simply give her a drink when her soil is dry – every few weeks or so – and feed her with liquid fertiliser once per month in spring and summer. You can pop her in almost any spot; she’s happy in anything from shade to sunshine. 

  This set includes our classic Clay pot, a sturdy pot with a tactile finish, curved silhouette and rubber feet for protecting your floors. Please note, due to the nature of this material, excess water may escape – we always recommend removing your plant from its decorative pot when watering, and allowing any excess water to drain completely.
