šŸ’­šŸ¤” Thoughts? - My snake plant, Shoeshine, is getting so big, so fast! Should I let him grow wild or use some stakes to straighten him out?

    Itā€™s really your preference on how you want it to look. I personally would stake mine just to keep the straight up look

    Personally, I would stake it just because it takes up less space like that and it makes it look more tidy.

      Yeah, I'm thinking I might stake him.

      I honestly don't know šŸ˜‚ Believe it or not, I bought him at a Mexican grocery store a while back šŸ˜® I just make sure to water him when Planta says to and talk to him everyday šŸ„° about a month ago I moved him from one part of the house to another and I think he likes it better šŸ„³

      What kind of light is it in, and what kind of fertilizer do you use? TIA!

    My snake plant was growing some really wonky looking leaves; they were sticking out at odd angles, and I didnā€™t like the look of it. So I took some clear plastic stakes, and sort of remodeled it. Iā€™m much happier with this look, rather than the wonky look from before, but this is just my opinion. Good luck!

      Ooo I like the clear stake idea! I think I'll try that! And to answer your other comment, I haven't fertilized him yet. The spot he's in is a part shade area of the house.

      Definitely go for the fertilizer! Iā€™ve had this plant for years, and had never fertilized it in the past. However, with the help of Planta, I started fertilizing it and, you wouldnā€™t believe it, all of the pretty variagation starting showing up instead of full green leavesā€¦ so pretty! I never realized that fertilizing could make such a difference to my plain Jane snake plant.

    It needs more light than itā€™s getting. Thatā€™s the sign of a problem ā˜¹ļø
