Calling all snake plant parents! How often do you water yours? I keep seeing online about every two weeks and I feel that is still too much considering it’s a succulent but idk. What are your thoughts?

I have gone with what my directions say and mine is doing great. I have the everything entered as far as directions from window and all other information. Mine has even added a new leaf. I don’t keep any water in the bottom of the saucer. Hope this helps.

I water mine in like one week and a half, and they seem to be doing pretty good

I water when the soil is completely dry, I use planta as a reminder to check the soil

This is what I do as well. The app is just a reminder

I always check if the soil is dry before watering, and I usually go 1-2 months between waterings.

### Alyssa commented on 2024-05-27

Thank you everyone! I’ll definitely wait till the soil is really dry then, don’t want to kill my little snake plant lol

### Bre commented on 2024-05-27

Honestly mine about every 2/3 weeks

### Sydnei commented on 2024-05-28

it depends on the amount of light and how big it is. the earliest it needs to be watered is typically three weeks to a month.
