Highly recommend strong clear plastic pots so you can check on the root system whenever you want. Only go up in size by 1-2 inches. ### Yolandaさんが2025-06-24にコメントしました I would advise to go ahead and repot it now since you have so many roots already coming out the drainage holes. Also the best time advised to repot any plants is between spring and summer because this is the growing season. Plants go dormant in the winter #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました Okay thank you so much! ### Magneticgarden\_さんが2025-06-24にコメントしました Definitely repot. I don't recommend self watering pots for snake plants, unless you live in the desert 😊🪴 I personally prefer terracotta for my snake plants! #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました I bought it from Walmart so I just haven’t repotted it yet! #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました Okay I will definitely try it out thank you! ### Lunaさんが2025-06-24にコメントしました from my experience with snake plants they love being in smaller pots, they are big on being kinda cramped together but they thrive in it! definitely go with a terracotta pot, i have found they love them the best! #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました Okay what about watering? How often do I need to water and when do i know when it needs it again? #### Lunaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました so what i do is i wait until all the soil is completely dry, like bone dry, i tend to just either stick my finger in the dirt or a chopstick, if the soil is like roughly pretty dry i do suggest watering it, if you can get a pot with drainage holes i do suggest bottom watering it has been a big game changer in my experience, along with adding either fertilizer drops or glass water if you smoke #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました Okay thank you! Also does it matter how many drainage holes the pot has? #### Lunaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました i always say the more the better! #### Victoria Maddisonさんが2025-06-24に返信しました For snake plants, they always wanna dry out all the way to the bottom so I think getting a pot with more than one hole for drainage would really help it achieve that _アプリでさらに3件の返信を見る_ ### Sunnyさんが2025-06-24にコメントしました Pull off the pot. Look at the entire root system. Then, decide if it needs repotting based on the amount of dense roots not based of the roots sticking out of the bottom. Those roots out the bottom could only be tapping into the drainage water. Cut those external roots off and don’t leave standing water in the drainage dish. Also, repotting too soon and watering too often can lead to root rot. Finally, these plants like a tight pot. They put out new plants until the pot is filled. No rush to repot unless the plant is ailing or it really needs it. 🪴🍀 ### Yolandaさんが2025-06-24にコメントしました Don’t water until it is DRY!!!!! Good plant very low maintenance love to be left alone #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました What about lighting? Can they do shade? ### Yolandaさんが2025-06-24にコメントしました Yes this plant thrives in low light as well #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました Thank you! ### Yolandaさんが2025-06-24にコメントしました SUPER HARD TO KILL PLANT😂😂😂 #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました I’ve heard so if I kill this thing I’m done 😂😂😂 ### Yolandaさんが2025-06-24にコメントしました 😂😂😂😂😂good luck!! Basically ignore this plant after you repot it.. I have two one on my plant stand I can’t tell you when it was watered last 😂😂🤔and I have another variegated one sitting on a shelf right next to my west facing window in which I water more but because it’s that close to the sun and heat, but only when my soil meter says it’s dry!! YOU GOT IT!!!! #### Deslashaaaさんが2025-06-24に返信しました What do you guys think?? Repot or is she okay for now? ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/_sdIRrr1uYk2LwF068yo7MGAbQyflie_XNaP0lf_TkE/i22R5ftuT5Gz9XAad8i7rw.webp?size=large) [コメントをもっと見る](https://getplanta.com/community/lKxUkhzRR_aIJD7o1QvtwQ/VvLH7kOBUSOECUEzhmhzJ6.md?cursor=oDQn9CgKTBhQb3N0cy5HZXRBbGwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADZ5cU4vjHcGA&language=ja) --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
