• About Snake plants

  Susie is a snake plant, one of the toughest houseplants going. She’s a great option for beginners, as she’s almost completely unkillable. In fact, she thrives on neglect, and the less attention you give her the better. She needs very little watering – a drink every few weeks is fine – and will be happy in pretty much any light condition. If you’re feeling generous, give her a feed with liquid fertiliser once per month in spring and summer. Otherwise, let her do her thing.

  This set includes our Fractured pot, a Patch fan favourite. Handmade and finished with lots of layers of glaze, it has a glossy, tactile finish. When watering your plants, always remove them from the decorative pot first and allow any excess water to drain completely before putting the plant back in the pot. Due to the nature of the material, excess water may escape.
