My rattlesnake plant must be very happy ❤️ six new leaves after only a week of getting her! I woke up this morning to #6 finally unfurling 😊 I can’t wait to see what she looks like in a month

What kind if soil are you keeping her in? I just got one and am unsure about how well-draining it should be..

I don’t think it’s anything special, when I bought her they repotted her for me. I do know the soil should be able to retain some water but also have the ability to drain fairly well. Keep the soil slightly moist at all times but not soggy or wet, I usually mist mine in the morning so the top of the soil is damp \& about every 6-7 days I bottom water her. Also used distilled water 😊
