# I just recently decided to start keeping plants, and I bought two…

_Posted by LulaBelle on 2024-08-04_

I just recently decided to start keeping plants, and I bought two plants today and have no idea what kind they are and how to take care of them!  
Any help/advice for this newbie would be much appreciated!

snake plants, full to part sun, let dry out before watering again, soil must have extra drainage

Change the substrate to a cactus/ succulent mix with some extra drainage (perlite) you can find both of the products at Walmart
