These plants grow in full blown sun. So i could never understand why its always listed as low light. I go by the more light they have the better they will grow. So thank you for clearing this up for those that dont kn ow! ❤😂
I guess what they really mean is that its type of plant that will survive even in a less amount of light. Of course most plants will still thrive in better light conditions.
i have had a plant get burned from transition shock to outside with allot more sun it was too, i saw that pink rubber trees give the best pink if they get lots of indirect sunlight but not in full sun or too little,,are there specific plants that will do better in low light?
Yep. I had two of them in a covered courtyard. Covered with see trough plastic plates that is. Hot during summer, cold (but not freezing) during winter. Most importantly, full sunlight 10 hours a day during summer. And they thrived. I now have 10 offsprings AND had to throw another 10 away (the more older ones with a few damaged leaves) when I repotted them. I'm going to try and see how well some fare in another bright room without direct sunlight. (white walls all around, two medium sized roof windows facing east, 2 hours direct sunlight.) Going to use grow lights in any case, just to be safe. It won't thrive, but I don't need them to in that area. Sometimes you just want a green plant that survives. Imagine if every plant you had thrived and grew to immense size with lots of offsprings... that would be a bit to much for me. :) Already had to give away a monstera in my bedroom that grew more then I could provide room for. :p (south window that was 2 meter+ x 1 meter providing plenty of light in the afternoon/evening.)
I agree with another commenter- thank you for making me feel less weird for loving my plants, naming them, speaking to them, and always checking to see if they’re showing me a sign (like skinny leaves means stretching)!!! I used to just shrug off wilting leaves, or yellowing leaves never fully ‘understanding’ them. I now thoroughly enjoy examining root growth, keeping an eye for dead rotting leaves… caring for plants is more rewarding and fulfilling than HAVING plants. Thank you for all your hilarious and playful tips about better mindfulness!
When I got my snake plant a few years ago I was cautioned about too much light. So I put it in indirect light. Then I saw your video. You convinced me to move my snake plant closer to the sunlight and a miracle happened! Just a few days later I discovered a couple of tall new leafs heading for the sun. Thank you!!! 💕
Me, an indigenous Nigerian trying to make sure my indoor snake plants have all they need...and PLEASANTLY surprised that they are a native plant to my country. Neatttt ✨
my mother noticed that a few years ago. She had tons of old snake plants in the dark parts of the house, and - because of a slight mistake at buying furniture - had to move them right in front of the windows, so the couch could take their old place. After a few months they literally broke out of their plastic pots growing extremely fast and aggressively new sprouts, and some of them even bloomed (something we had never seen before, or known that this could even happen)
I have a handful of various snake plants outside, in pots year round. I live in Phoenix. They get about 15 minutes of direct sun every morning. They're also on a south facing covered patio. They all survived our uncharacteristically hot summer last year too. Minus my aloe, they're the only plants that I didnt lose or bring inside. They showed no signs of stress and one of them exploded in growth. Then they all made it through our winter without any stress either. Our low temps were getting into the mid 30s. I'm really impressed with how hardy they are.
I had a snake plant that was almost as tall as me (5’2) long story short, a hard freeze got it. I cried. I’ve got one little 4 inch baby left of it that’s finally ready to go into the dirt. Yes, they LOVE the sun, but not direct sunlight. They do “ok” in low light areas, but prefer a sunny spot. (Why mine was almost 5ft tall)
@@SheffieldMadePlants As I said, long story short 😂 I’m in Alabama US, I had stored it in an outdoor shed for the time being, as I had nowhere inside to store it. We had a freak ice/snow storm (typical for north AL). Unfortunately, I was away at the time, so I couldn’t move it inside, and the only thing I could do was hope for the best. 🤷♀️
Well, I live in one of the southernmost areas in Canada and still waiting on Spring. Had summer weather for several weeks in Feb-March, then it snowed!!! Into our rain of April now, but the tulips and daffs are up 🇨🇦
I put my little 1ft. snake plant in a spot where it just happened to be at the right angle to get 30 mins of direct morning sun and 30 mins of direct late afternoon sun with bright indirect light in between. After many years it's turned into a dense 5' monster that constantly puts out new growth.
Makes sense! The ph in the water is so carefully cared for. And, the plant food I use is made from kelp. It is my magic stuff! I have it shipped across Canada to me (really big country) and isn't the cheapest. It is so much worth it! I have rescued a number of plants using this stuff and they all thrive!
I do a good tank water change and keep the water in buckets to water all my plants with. Works well for me too and has done for years. Glad you're sharing that one with everyone. I do love all my snake plant varieties, I recommend a Starfish one 😊
@@funonvancouverisland I just hit reply to second this comment, and now notice your username indicating we may be neighbors! I stopped watering with aquarium water due to the aroma too. Best way is to skip the soil altogether and grow the plants out the top of your aquarium! Howdy from the Comox Valley.🎉
Thank you! It is so sad to see how snake plants have been treated. In Mexico, they get full on SUN and grow and bloom like crazy. I saw them used as a fence before! One of my absolute favorite plants :)
I have seen the snake plants outside in full tropical sun in the Yucatan, Mexico. flowering. They looked happy. Same with the golden Pothos. huge leaves growing on walls in Mexico as a landscaping plant.
Hi Rich, told you about my snake plant is over 50 years old. Spliced it into two pots that they grew six foot. I think if as you say put in the high light area. I water them down the middle of the plant even two weeks and rotate as you teach. Thank you for teaching us parents the best. Please have a great spring. Wish we could send you pics.🦁
I've had a pot of snake plants for a number of years that's been through some severe neglect at some points. It bloomed once! to my surprise and it was the best smell! I have a bunch in water for some months with good roots and pups. I'll be potting them up soon. Oddly, I've let these dry out, too, and haven't lost any. They're so easy.
Thank you so much Richard, I really really enjoyed listening to you talk about Snake Plants, I have a large one and it sits in my bedroom quite a way from the window, so I’m going to put it in the window during the day, because it’s going to be very very happy then. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
I have 4 pots of very tall plants that are propagated from 1 plant given to my mom when she turned 16 . That was 70 years ago! One of them blooms 2x a year and now has 3 stalks of flowers over 2 feet tall. I love how they smell - like old, musty books. If youve never seen the flowers they grow staggered up the stem and look like festive, white, delicate fireworks. They exude drops of sticky nectar that can rival Super glue. Its a horror to get it off your hands. I love these plants. Only issue i have is the leaves are skinny at the bottom on some spikes and they bend/bow over . They sure love crowded pots tho. Thanks for your videos
Perfect timing! I left my snake in a new, slightly sunny location while I am traveling, and was intending to see how it liked it better. Hope it will show me on my return that it's a "yes!" so I can rearrange it to thrive more. Thanks!
Mine is more than 150cm tall, I've had it for more than 25 years. It filled a 35cm pot until I repotted it last year and thinned it. It is quickly refilling that pot.
I agree...snake plants don't like low light, they tolerate it. I have put my snake plants outside (east facing balcony) for the last 2 years. Sadly, I have to tell Mr. Snake he isn't going out this year. He loves it out there so much he now is in a 12" pot (and I can barely lift him..and I have no desire to divide him..he worked hard to grow). He was a beast to repot last fall. Mrs Snake (also in a 12" pot) needs to fill in, so she will go outside. Snake Jr...we will see. My point is...give them as much light as possible if you want a big plant (and no...I don't use grow lights).
@SheffieldMadePlants He has...in fact he has been sitting right by the sliding glass door since last fall just waiting....makes me sad. lol But again...I can barely lift him so... lol
Same here. Took it outside on east side of my yard and it has exploded, about 5 feet tall and even blooming. And I had the same reaction to moving it again this year, but ultimately decided to take it out. But I am going to repot it into 3 plants because I can barely move it and it is exploding out of its pot now.
A good reminder for me to take my 20 yo sansevieria out for a Shawshank Shower. 😂 Hoping for new growth since I transplanted it three years ago. Thanks for another informative video!
During the summer I yeet my snakeplants out to the little greenhouse on my southward terrace, where temperatures rise up to 60 degrees Celsius. I had to repot one of my snakeplants twice, because it grew like crazy. They love not only good amount of sunlight but a drop in temperature too.
One of my favorite plants. I am very lucky to have 16 different types. I like that you mentioned using fresh aquarium water because that’s what I use after water changes. Great video. Thank you 😊
As someone with bioactive reptile terrariums, the reptile community has known for years that snake plants are some of the feeder plants that thrive in hot, high uv environments!
I love the Shawshank way of cleaning the leaves. Whenever I do it now I can't help thinking "Shawshank style" and I remember you. I tell them that you were the one who made me do it.
Hi! I'm a beginner who inherited a lot of plants, and I've tried showering them (and giving them all a good soak in the bath when the soil was very dry and they'd been neglected a lot). My only problem is water marks on the leaves of plants, like the snake plants and ficus. How do you avoid that? Or do you wipe down every leaf after?
@@SheffieldMadePlants 🤣 "Mr Sheffield !" (With Fran Fine voice..🤣🤣) I've just received my first "grow light". It's cheap and the light is pinkish(?). The lamp is tiny. Lol That's how I'm doing till the Sansi holly grail.
@@scarletamazon3455 sorry I can't help. I never had this problem. The water marks were there before you started Shawshanking (watering) them? You could describe the marks. Maybe it will help to identify what's better to do. Congrats on your new heritage. Taking care of them had a great effect on me and I believe you too.
@@AnaLuizaHella Thank you so much! It definitely is helping me to nurture the plants. I was with my parents and caring for them until the end. Still devastated they're gone. But seeing mum's plants thrive again and doing well makes me so happy! I also started a little herb garden on my windowsill, and have their gardens to care for, since my brother and I inherited the house. Working on getting the gardens back into shape is also therapeutic, in a way. There's a peace and satisfaction in reviving those houseplants and nurturing them and the animals we have too. Every new leaf and shoot brings a smile! I'm really enjoying learning more about how to care for them well from channels like these! Would love to have the house looking like Mr.Sheffields, with thriving healthy plants everywhere! About the water spots on leaves - I've tried putting the plants in the bathtub and showering them to remove dust etc, giving them good soak at the same time, then letting them drain well before putting them back where they live. Or spraying them with a hose then letting them dry outside in the sunshine. Or using a spray bottle on the leaves indoors, to freshen them up. But when water droplets evaporate from the leaves (like water droplets also do on aquarium glass, and need to be polished dry with paper towel or similar on tank glass) they leave like a little white mark on the leaves. Happens whether I shower them indoors, outside, or in situ. As the water droplets on the leaves evaporate, they leave those little whitish water spot marks. Just like I see on aquarium glass if not polished dry somehow. Only way I could remove those on the large leafed plants like the ficus I love that's growing so well and keeps putting out new leaves and getting taller and taller - was to respray them, then polish each leaf dry with a clean microfibre cloth. I'd like to find an easier/quicker/better way to dry them so it doesn't leave water marks or dust. How do you have lovely, shiny, glossy leaves? No worries if you don't know, sorry to ask! I'll keep watching plant videos to keep learning more!
Been there! 🙋🏼♀️ Moved mine to a south facing window and boom! Its happier than a clam and growing like crazy. Now I need to propagate it since its too big..lol. 😊 As always, thanks for the superb content!
Me again Rich, my snake plants are playing Ted in a pot three foot tall with rocks in bottom then put swimming pool noodles cutup. Making pot a bit heavy so the shallow roots. This balance the six foot faced You are so right in dividing. I have given so many snake plants from them
This is making me want a snake plant. Soon we'll be in a lower-light condition, though, once the trees around our house get their leaves. I'm thinking of using lights in one room and can have a snake plant move in there as well. About the watering, that was THE KEY for me as well. I never understood it right, and I killed a family heirloom because of doing it wrong. I would recommend this video to non-snake plant parents for that info/reminder alone. Thanks!
👏👏, low light doesn’t mean no light. Love this video, you are absolutely correct. I also moved my moonshine sansevieria from a low light corner to a more bright spot and she’s already putting on new spring growth. Acclimate slowly towards more light . Love your channel🌿 congrats on 300k 🥳,1 million is next☺️
This was very useful. Love your easy going and playful style as well. You’re doing a great job giving us good information. Keep up the good work Sir. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good video. Another tip, place them in a bedroom at night, they thrive in rooms with a denser carbon dioxide which they absorb and convert to starch for growth.
Always great advice. I have also adopted the 1/2 strength fertilizer. Great idea! I like that you mentioned growth tips and tricks with snake plants and not just saying it's low light. 😂
Just subscribed, thank you so much! I love it, have watched a couple of your videos now, really helpful for a relative beginner like me! Mum had huge snake plants and gave me some baby plants she separated off and had replanted, but I managed to kill them pretty quick. I've never been great with houseplants, but really want to be! My mum just passed on Christmas day, and lost my dad last year too. So grieving a lot, and working hard to keep as many of her houseplants alive and thriving as I can... and getting the odd new one when I can! Like I've started a herb garden in the kitchen windowsill. Mum didn't have any mother-in-laws-tongue plants anymore by the time she passed, but I still love them and associate them with her. So along with the plants I inherited from her, I couldn't resist, and bought two new snake plants from the supermarket. One variagated like she used to have, and one that's a lovely sort of faded pale green that I hadn't seen before. Really want them to do well, and have had them for a few months now, but they were sitting on top of my aquarium hood where there's not a lot of light. Moved them to a windowsill now after seeing this, thank you! Hope they continue to do well. Thanks also for the reminder about fish tank water! I have two tanks, and have been using the buckets of water during water changes for the tank on the garden potted plants, but hadn't thought to save some for the houseplants! I've already given them a thorough watering (and made sure they're all well drained) and repotted a load, like some jade and spider plants, so will have to let everything dry out again, but I'll remember to use water from my fish tanks for the houseplants next time they need a drink/shower! Thank you. Only thing is I hate water marks on the leaves of things like the ficus and snake plants. Any advice for avoiding those? Wiping each leaf down is a big chore, and especially with the jade plants being quite delicate and easy to knock leaves off.
Yup I have no idea why people love to list them as "low level plants" bc they're just as affected if not more by levels of light that are too low then any other plant but they just don't outwardly show it like other plants do.
That's an awesome hack which I'm going to do on my next plant shopping trip. Beautiful pot as well. I so agree regarding propagation. Cutting into pieces was a sure fail. I'm not big on propergation anyway, however, dividing a mother plant is quite satisfying. Cool video 🌿🌿🌿
Mine just produce tons of pups, but dont seem to grow taller. I follow all this advice and am growing them on a sunny east facing window that gets plenty of light at least until noon. The ZZ next to them is a giant monster by now, while snake plant just wants to produce a midget army 😂
Had one in my bedroom that has limited light for 3 years and it barely grew, moved it into the brightest room in the house and had more growth in like 2 months
I don't have a snake plant, but I do have three yuccas and one of them just reached 6 ft ❤ the other is just over 4ft, the other is a baby. They are really gorgeous.
Mr. Sheffield: Miss Fine, what are you doing here? Fran: Well, I heard moaning and screaming coming from your room and I figured... I should be part of it.
I´m very happy for what you said here - hopefully we will see more healthy & happy sansevierias 🙂 I disliked sansevieria very much. I discovered that it was because I saw only sad looking ones. Then I met a lush, fat and colourful sansevieria and I fell in love with it instantly. Now I have a whole collection of them 🙂 They can look spectacular when healthy (thanks to sufficient light) 🙂
@@QueenGail It is my son's plant but it has been here in Montana for the last three years . I don't know how old it is . I have really great south windows and the sun is strong here at 5,300 feet . I let it dry out then water maybe every two weeks ,fertilize once a month . I also use some Super Thrive now and then . All my plants do very well here and I believe it is because of the great sun exposure .
Fun fact, my dad’s snake plant is something like 20+ years old it was left in the dark storage room with no water for 4 of those years. He still had it and it looks rather terrible but still alive .
Thank you for another amazing video full of great information snake plants are my most favorite plant in the world so it's nice to get a bit more info to make them happy
The thing is very few plants can survive in as low a light a snake plant can survive in. The only two plants I know that can survive in just as low a light are ZZ plants and parlor Palms.
So true... It loves light. I put mine indoors it looks sad and didn't grow for 3 months. Put it outside where the sun blast it with it's full rays and it grew tall and I now have problems to repot the leaves cause it grew fast. Will try this on my new bought Whale fin, just need to find a decent location for it.
lol we are told to plant them in full sun and leave them , they grow stupid here most of the Aussie’s call them a weed , and thee other 60% love them the flowers are beautiful ❤️
My friend gave me a shoot and it didn't really take that long to grow. At least not for me. 😊 But it's growing very slowly since I potted it a year ago so here I am.
Mr. Sheffield, help! Success!! I did a chevron cut on a snake plant leaf and put it in water. I changed the water as directed. It's been a few months and there are lots of roots but I was waiting for the roots to grow roots, which is what my daughter heard. I checked the other day and I've got TWO PUPS growing straight up from the cut edge!!! 💖💖What do I do now? Cover with dirt? Keep in water until larger? Anyone have ideas?
I’ve had a snake plant for years, and it’s grown to a pretty good size. I definitely use my Mr. Sheffield recommended moisture meter before I decide to water it. I’m not that good at wiping off the dust though.
Any chance you could do a video on the best hydroponics kits to buy? I don't have a lot of space and looking to buy one with the heat lamp attached with the special grow plugs and self watering system from west kent
Mine is right up front, next to my Monstera getting 12 hrs of bright light a day. The pot has so many babies that after 7-8 months I prob should repot.
My grandmother outright neglects her snake plants and yet they thrive to an absurb degree. Have done so for decades. It makes no sense and genuinely drives me a bit batty.
My grandad has a snake plant in the bathroom he waters it when he remembers, it's never been reported to the point I couldn't even get it out it's nursery pot, however it's got babies galore and is thriving, I look after mine carefully n it doesn't look nearly as good 😂🤯
some of those bloody plant peddlers will tell you anything to get you to purchase it! i learned that in my younger days for sure. all plants need light
I checked the roots on mine, they look fine. But it’s wrinkled and droopy even a couple days after watering it. 🤷🏻♀️debating just chopping them down to like 3 inches tall and waiting for new leaves to grow.
Cocopeat is best for snake plants. You can make your non yellow strip plant bushy by cut one old leaf. It it in 4 and inert in dame pot. In few weeks you will find baby plants. I tried and it worked. For yellow strip, leaf will bring just green plant so better not to apply same hack on yellow strip plant.
Most so called low light plants thrives well if given sufficient amount of sunlight. Here in India My 4 varieties of SP receives 2-3 hrs of morning sunlight everyday.
Video request! Iridescent plant experiment? I think the begonia you’ve got in the back(the one with green on the right) is one of the tons of begonias that can flash iridescent blue when grown in low lights. I finally got a begonia pavonina recently after years of trying to find one in the UK, and come to find out all different kinds of Rex begonias can get iridescent if you grow them in low enough light - but enough to keep them alive. I might be wrong about your specific one, but I’d love to see an experiment done by someone more experienced on that(or another) Rex begonia purposely grown in LL conditions to see how blue it can get. There’s some really cool pics of their iridescence online Congrats on 300k btw! Well earned 👏
"The greatest cover up since the landing-on-the-moon-hoax" and "it just takes ages to die" Thank you. I always use to say, that he is the victim of its own stability. It is such a strongly cultivated myth, so omnipresent. They so often are sold nursed to etiolation, which is even more mind boggling to me, even professional greenhouses seem to have missed the memo. One I purchased this year came, and I swear, it was so incredibly stemmy it looked like they'd put three leeks into a pot. He quickly caught the nickame "Seine Durchlauchtheit" ("his serene highness") because the german version of this title also reads like: "Leek through and through" Well, his Serene Highness got a thorough cut on all "stems" (rhizomes they are) 2 in total in seperate pots, cutted one of the underground rhizomes and planted that (with zero expectations) and took cuttings from leaves that I put in water. Today, that's pretty much one month ago. So, what happened? The leek-tips have clearly established and are happily pusching out leaves from the center, roughly reaching 10cm now. It took some patience though, cause for about two weeks, nothing happened at all. The leaves I planted them with have not grown any inch. Not so sure about the coloration though, he should have a certain color which I'm still waiting to start seeing. The aspargus head of a rhizome also came to life. Nothing for the longest time, then a tiny green spot on the surface. It's reached 1-1,5cm today. The leaves in water... well. They got brown spots and gradually more dehydrated. Congrats. One pushed out one(!) teeny tiny bit of a root that kinda looked like a cats tooth. The other two leaves... I don't know. At first thought, a hair of mine got in. I finally put them in some sort of soil, jeez, I have other things to do, as well. All in all, propagating them in water might be possible but it surely seems like a job (and anxiety) creation measure. All three methods were started at the same day, the substrate propagations all standing in the window facing the same direction (light exposure), just the cuttings had indirekt light cause I had them in a glass. Conclusion: in their natural habitat these plants, as I found in a reddit post, sometimes even are seen as weeds, cause they are so persistant, so aggressively spreading, so extremely hard to efficiently get rid off. Do not give in into helicopter-controlling-impulses, this plant grows roots best, when they're out of our sight. In fact, from this experience, propagating them in a seethrough glass ridiculously elongates the process.
I just checked a damaged leaf I cut off my snake plant and stuck in some water in an old medicine bottle with a piece of philodendron I wanted to root that was on 3-10-24 and it’s got 2 little roots 😊💃🏾
About propagating them, I’ve recently heard that the propagations from cut leaves will always revert. That happened to a moonshine cutting I got. It took months for pups to form and when they did, they were not silvery at all. Has anyone experienced the same or can confirm this? Thanks!
Great vid, but if you got your plant growing in water, and also a lot of sunlight, doesn't that make the water and stones etc go greeen algae from the sunlight?
Loved this video and learned a lot, as usual, but the screenshot is misleading. You combined snake plants to look more lush, but the title indicates that the picture shows new growth instead. It's not like you to intentionally mislead us.

These plants grow in full blown sun. So i could never understand why its always listed as low light. I go by the more light they have the better they will grow.
So thank you for clearing this up for those that dont kn ow! ❤😂
I'm on a mission 😂
I guess what they really mean is that its type of plant that will survive even in a less amount of light. Of course most plants will still thrive in better light conditions.
I guess they just die slower 😂
i have had a plant get burned from transition shock to outside with allot more sun it was too, i saw that pink rubber trees give the best pink if they get lots of indirect sunlight but not in full sun or too little,,are there specific plants that will do better in low light?
Simply put, snake plants can _survive_ low light, but only _thrive_ in sunny areas. Great video!

I have a handful of various snake plants outside, in pots year round. I live in Phoenix. They get about 15 minutes of direct sun every morning. They're also on a south facing covered patio.

They showed no signs of stress and one of them exploded in growth. Then they all made it through our winter without any stress either. Our low temps were getting into the mid 30s.

Very good 👍

I put my little 1ft. snake plant in a spot where it just happened to be at the right angle to get 30 mins of direct morning sun and 30 mins of direct late afternoon sun with bright indirect light in between. After many years it's turned into a dense 5' monster that constantly puts out new growth.
Great stuff 👍
Fish tank water is like magic. Even my fussiest plants love it.
Makes sense! The ph in the water is so carefully cared for. And, the plant food I use is made from kelp. It is my magic stuff! I have it shipped across Canada to me (really big country) and isn't the cheapest. It is so much worth it! I have rescued a number of plants using this stuff and they all thrive!
Same here. Do a water change and keep the water in buckets to water all my plants with. Works well for me too.
I do a good tank water change and keep the water in buckets to water all my plants with. Works well for me too and has done for years. Glad you're sharing that one with everyone. I do love all my snake plant varieties, I recommend a Starfish one 😊
The soil stinks after a while..
@@funonvancouverisland I just hit reply to second this comment, and now notice your username indicating we may be neighbors! I stopped watering with aquarium water due to the aroma too. Best way is to skip the soil altogether and grow the plants out the top of your aquarium!

Thank you! It is so sad to see how snake plants have been treated. In Mexico, they get full on SUN and grow and bloom like crazy. I saw them used as a fence before! One of my absolute favorite plants :)
I have seen the snake plants outside in full tropical sun in the Yucatan, Mexico. flowering. They looked happy. Same with the golden Pothos. huge leaves growing on walls in Mexico as a landscaping plant.
Your right! I have 5 snake plants and the one that is growing the best is the one in direct sunlight
You missed your calling. You make me laugh. Love your videos
Thank you for this! I’ve been wondering why mine are growing so slowly/ not at all! Thanks for your amazing advice and knowledge ❤
Happy to help!
Hi Rich, told you about my snake plant is over 50 years old. Spliced it into two pots that they grew six foot. I think if as you say put in the high light area. I water them down the middle of the plant even two weeks and rotate as you teach. Thank you for teaching us parents the best. Please have a great spring. Wish we could send you pics.🦁
Sounds great. You can send pics to my email or insta
Yes i agree. So many tags on snake plants say low light. It makes me so mad! Sansevierias are my second favorite type of plant. I have lots of them.
What's your favourite?
I love love love hoyas
I've had a pot of snake plants for a number of years that's been through some severe neglect at some points. It bloomed once! to my surprise and it was the best smell!
I have a bunch in water for some months with good roots and pups. I'll be potting them up soon. Oddly, I've let these dry out, too, and haven't lost any. They're so easy.
Absolutely true in my experience. They’ll survive in low light. But they grow and expand in bright light. I have to divide and repot mine right now.
Thank you so much Richard, I really really enjoyed listening to you talk about Snake Plants, I have a large one and it sits in my bedroom quite a way from the window, so I’m going to put it in the window during the day, because it’s going to be very very happy then. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
I have 4 pots of very tall plants that are propagated from 1 plant given to my mom when she turned 16 . That was 70 years ago! One of them blooms 2x a year and now has 3 stalks of flowers over 2 feet tall. I love how they smell - like old, musty books. If youve never seen the flowers they grow staggered up the stem and look like festive, white, delicate fireworks. They exude drops of sticky nectar that can rival Super glue. Its a horror to get it off your hands. I love these plants. Only issue i have is the leaves are skinny at the bottom on some spikes and they bend/bow over . They sure love crowded pots tho. Thanks for your videos
Sounds great
Perfect timing! I left my snake in a new, slightly sunny location while I am traveling, and was intending to see how it liked it better. Hope it will show me on my return that it's a "yes!" so I can rearrange it to thrive more. Thanks!
Mine is more than 150cm tall, I've had it for more than 25 years. It filled a 35cm pot until I repotted it last year and thinned it. It is quickly refilling that pot.
Good going 👍
I agree...snake plants don't like low light, they tolerate it. I have put my snake plants outside (east facing balcony) for the last 2 years. Sadly, I have to tell Mr. Snake he isn't going out this year. He loves it out there so much he now is in a 12" pot (and I can barely lift him..and I have no desire to divide him..he worked hard to grow). He was a beast to repot last fall. Mrs Snake (also in a 12" pot) needs to fill in, so she will go outside. Snake Jr...we will see. My point is...give them as much light as possible if you want a big plant (and no...I don't use grow lights).
I bet he's been looking forward to it too 😁
@SheffieldMadePlants He has...in fact he has been sitting right by the sliding glass door since last fall just waiting....makes me sad. lol But again...I can barely lift him so... lol
Same here. Took it outside on east side of my yard and it has exploded, about 5 feet tall and even blooming. And I had the same reaction to moving it again this year, but ultimately decided to take it out. But I am going to repot it into 3 plants because I can barely move it and it is exploding out of its pot now.
A good reminder for me to take my 20 yo sansevieria out for a Shawshank Shower. 😂 Hoping for new growth since I transplanted it three years ago. Thanks for another informative video!
Thanks for watching 😁
During the summer I yeet my snakeplants out to the little greenhouse on my southward terrace, where temperatures rise up to 60 degrees Celsius. I had to repot one of my snakeplants twice, because it grew like crazy. They love not only good amount of sunlight but a drop in temperature too.
One of my favorite plants. I am very lucky to have 16 different types. I like that you mentioned using fresh aquarium water because that’s what I use after water changes. Great video. Thank you 😊
Thanks!
As someone with bioactive reptile terrariums, the reptile community has known for years that snake plants are some of the feeder plants that thrive in hot, high uv environments!
I love the Shawshank way of cleaning the leaves.
Whenever I do it now I can't help thinking "Shawshank style" and I remember you. I tell them that you were the one who made me do it.
😂 like it
Hi! I'm a beginner who inherited a lot of plants, and I've tried showering them (and giving them all a good soak in the bath when the soil was very dry and they'd been neglected a lot). My only problem is water marks on the leaves of plants, like the snake plants and ficus. How do you avoid that? Or do you wipe down every leaf after?
@@SheffieldMadePlants 🤣 "Mr Sheffield !" (With Fran Fine voice..🤣🤣)
I've just received my first "grow light". It's cheap and the light is pinkish(?). The lamp is tiny. Lol
That's how I'm doing till the Sansi holly grail.
@@scarletamazon3455 sorry I can't help. I never had this problem. The water marks were there before you started Shawshanking (watering) them?
You could describe the marks. Maybe it will help to identify what's better to do.
Congrats on your new heritage.
Taking care of them had a great effect on me and I believe you too.
@@AnaLuizaHella Thank you so much! It definitely is helping me to nurture the plants. I was with my parents and caring for them until the end. Still devastated they're gone. But seeing mum's plants thrive again and doing well makes me so happy! I also started a little herb garden on my windowsill, and have their gardens to care for, since my brother and I inherited the house. Working on getting the gardens back into shape is also therapeutic, in a way.
There's a peace and satisfaction in reviving those houseplants and nurturing them and the animals we have too. Every new leaf and shoot brings a smile! I'm really enjoying learning more about how to care for them well from channels like these! Would love to have the house looking like Mr.Sheffields, with thriving healthy plants everywhere!
About the water spots on leaves - I've tried putting the plants in the bathtub and showering them to remove dust etc, giving them good soak at the same time, then letting them drain well before putting them back where they live. Or spraying them with a hose then letting them dry outside in the sunshine. Or using a spray bottle on the leaves indoors, to freshen them up. But when water droplets evaporate from the leaves (like water droplets also do on aquarium glass, and need to be polished dry with paper towel or similar on tank glass) they leave like a little white mark on the leaves.
Happens whether I shower them indoors, outside, or in situ. As the water droplets on the leaves evaporate, they leave those little whitish water spot marks. Just like I see on aquarium glass if not polished dry somehow.
Only way I could remove those on the large leafed plants like the ficus I love that's growing so well and keeps putting out new leaves and getting taller and taller - was to respray them, then polish each leaf dry with a clean microfibre cloth. I'd like to find an easier/quicker/better way to dry them so it doesn't leave water marks or dust.
How do you have lovely, shiny, glossy leaves? No worries if you don't know, sorry to ask! I'll keep watching plant videos to keep learning more!
Been there! 🙋🏼♀️
Moved mine to a south facing window and boom! Its happier than a clam and growing like crazy. Now I need to propagate it since its too big..lol. 😊
As always, thanks for the superb content!
That is awesome!
Me again Rich, my snake plants are playing Ted in a pot three foot tall with rocks in bottom then put swimming pool noodles cutup. Making pot a bit heavy so the shallow roots. This balance the six foot faced You are so right in dividing. I have given so many snake plants from them
This is making me want a snake plant. Soon we'll be in a lower-light condition, though, once the trees around our house get their leaves. I'm thinking of using lights in one room and can have a snake plant move in there as well. About the watering, that was THE KEY for me as well. I never understood it right, and I killed a family heirloom because of doing it wrong. I would recommend this video to non-snake plant parents for that info/reminder alone. Thanks!
Thank you 😊
👏👏, low light doesn’t mean no light. Love this video, you are absolutely correct. I also moved my moonshine sansevieria from a low light corner to a more bright spot and she’s already putting on new spring growth. Acclimate slowly towards more light . Love your channel🌿 congrats on 300k 🥳,1 million is next☺️
You're a super ⭐️
🤗thanks you !
I planted two snake plant leaves that broke off and got babies by the first of winter so happy
Thank you for Sharing your houseplants lovely snake plants lovely video
This was very useful. Love your easy going and playful style as well. You’re doing a great job giving us good information. Keep up the good work Sir. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! Will do!
Good video. Another tip, place them in a bedroom at night, they thrive in rooms with a denser carbon dioxide which they absorb and convert to starch for growth.
Always great advice. I have also adopted the 1/2 strength fertilizer. Great idea! I like that you mentioned growth tips and tricks with snake plants and not just saying it's low light. 😂
Much appreciated
Just subscribed, thank you so much! I love it, have watched a couple of your videos now, really helpful for a relative beginner like me!
Mum had huge snake plants and gave me some baby plants she separated off and had replanted, but I managed to kill them pretty quick. I've never been great with houseplants, but really want to be! My mum just passed on Christmas day, and lost my dad last year too. So grieving a lot, and working hard to keep as many of her houseplants alive and thriving as I can... and getting the odd new one when I can! Like I've started a herb garden in the kitchen windowsill.
Mum didn't have any mother-in-laws-tongue plants anymore by the time she passed, but I still love them and associate them with her. So along with the plants I inherited from her, I couldn't resist, and bought two new snake plants from the supermarket. One variagated like she used to have, and one that's a lovely sort of faded pale green that I hadn't seen before. Really want them to do well, and have had them for a few months now, but they were sitting on top of my aquarium hood where there's not a lot of light. Moved them to a windowsill now after seeing this, thank you! Hope they continue to do well.
Thanks also for the reminder about fish tank water! I have two tanks, and have been using the buckets of water during water changes for the tank on the garden potted plants, but hadn't thought to save some for the houseplants! I've already given them a thorough watering (and made sure they're all well drained) and repotted a load, like some jade and spider plants, so will have to let everything dry out again, but I'll remember to use water from my fish tanks for the houseplants next time they need a drink/shower! Thank you.
Only thing is I hate water marks on the leaves of things like the ficus and snake plants. Any advice for avoiding those? Wiping each leaf down is a big chore, and especially with the jade plants being quite delicate and easy to knock leaves off.
Thanks for watching 😁
Yup I have no idea why people love to list them as "low level plants" bc they're just as affected if not more by levels of light that are too low then any other plant but they just don't outwardly show it like other plants do.
I bought a 4 pack of lazy Susan's for easy rotating for my heavy plants..
That's an awesome hack which I'm going to do on my next plant shopping trip. Beautiful pot as well. I so agree regarding propagation. Cutting into pieces was a sure fail. I'm not big on propergation anyway, however, dividing a mother plant is quite satisfying. Cool video 🌿🌿🌿
Thanks!
Mine just produce tons of pups, but dont seem to grow taller. I follow all this advice and am growing them on a sunny east facing window that gets plenty of light at least until noon. The ZZ next to them is a giant monster by now, while snake plant just wants to produce a midget army 😂
Must be the variety. They are slow growers though
Are you sure it's not one of the dwarf ones that you have? They tend to grow out rather than up
@@cherie7100your comment right here! I just learned something, had no idea there was a dwarf variety 😮
Blessings 💜
I recently discovered your channel and love your snake plant content! I also love your humor!
Thank you 😊
Ah yes, one of my favorite plants!! ❤❤ Thank you!
Had one in my bedroom that has limited light for 3 years and it barely grew, moved it into the brightest room in the house and had more growth in like 2 months
I don't have a snake plant, but I do have three yuccas and one of them just reached 6 ft ❤ the other is just over 4ft, the other is a baby. They are really gorgeous.
Thank you bro !!always learning more and more,appreciate your time to make videos…
Thank you Firoza! Seems like you've been with me since the beginning 👍
Mr. Sheffield: Miss Fine, what are you doing here?
Fran: Well, I heard moaning and screaming coming from your room and I figured... I should be part of it.
😅
I just love your videos ! Your not only extremely knowledgeable and helpful, you’re sooo funny and make me laugh ❤ thank you ❣️
Thanks!
I´m very happy for what you said here - hopefully we will see more healthy & happy sansevierias 🙂
I disliked sansevieria very much. I discovered that it was because I saw only sad looking ones. Then I met a lush, fat and colourful sansevieria and I fell in love with it instantly. Now I have a whole collection of them 🙂 They can look spectacular when healthy (thanks to sufficient light) 🙂
Great stuff 👍
My snake plant is blooming ! I have never seen that before
I'm jelly!
Do tell, more info please if you don’t mind, how old, your care regimen, soil type…. Nosey😅
@@QueenGail It is my son's plant but it has been here in Montana for the last three years . I don't know how old it is . I have really great south windows and the sun is strong here at 5,300 feet . I let it dry out then water maybe every two weeks ,fertilize once a month . I also use some Super Thrive now and then . All my plants do very well here and I believe it is because of the great sun exposure .
@@QueenGailFull sun
Fun fact, my dad’s snake plant is something like 20+ years old it was left in the dark storage room with no water for 4 of those years. He still had it and it looks rather terrible but still alive .
Please rescue it. 😢
Thank you for another amazing video full of great information snake plants are my most favorite plant in the world so it's nice to get a bit more info to make them happy
You bet!
The thing is very few plants can survive in as low a light a snake plant can survive in. The only two plants I know that can survive in just as low a light are ZZ plants and parlor Palms.
low light spot in your home plus growlight!
Thanks for your great snake plant care tips😻
You bet!
So true... It loves light. I put mine indoors it looks sad and didn't grow for 3 months.
Put it outside where the sun blast it with it's full rays and it grew tall and I now have problems to repot the leaves cause it grew fast.
Will try this on my new bought Whale fin, just need to find a decent location for it.
Great stuff 👍
lol we are told to plant them in full sun and leave them , they grow stupid here most of the Aussie’s call them a weed , and thee other 60% love them the flowers are beautiful ❤️
I no longer wear sun factor.. stop us getting vit D... Your videos are excellent 👌
Glad you like them!
My friend gave me a shoot and it didn't really take that long to grow. At least not for me. 😊 But it's growing very slowly since I potted it a year ago so here I am.
I have mine in full sun outdoors in south Florida. They are also everywhere down here. Next to canals, on the side of the road, etc..
Lapping up that sunshine
Mr. Sheffield, help! Success!! I did a chevron cut on a snake plant leaf and put it in water. I changed the water as directed. It's been a few months and there are lots of roots but I was waiting for the roots to grow roots, which is what my daughter heard. I checked the other day and I've got TWO PUPS growing straight up from the cut edge!!! 💖💖What do I do now? Cover with dirt? Keep in water until larger? Anyone have ideas?
When you see roots & pups, time for puppy bed..(dirt) Love pups! Congrats! Rev. J 😊
5:57 Shawshank Style 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG
😁
1:54 It even looks like your green friend is giving you the finger for placing him there. Probably should have been a sign!!
😅
I’ve had a snake plant for years, and it’s grown to a pretty good size. I definitely use my Mr. Sheffield recommended moisture meter before I decide to water it. I’m not that good at wiping off the dust though.
Mine grows really wild in northern facing window and I often forgot to water it.
Any chance you could do a video on the best hydroponics kits to buy? I don't have a lot of space and looking to buy one with the heat lamp attached with the special grow plugs and self watering system from west kent
Mine is right up front, next to my Monstera getting 12 hrs of bright light a day. The pot has so many babies that after 7-8 months I prob should repot.
Diabolical....but what a fantastic idea. Thank you Mr Sheffield.
Thank you for the many tips and the fun facts always make my day!
My pleasure 😊
My grandmother outright neglects her snake plants and yet they thrive to an absurb degree. Have done so for decades. It makes no sense and genuinely drives me a bit batty.
My grandad has a snake plant in the bathroom he waters it when he remembers, it's never been reported to the point I couldn't even get it out it's nursery pot, however it's got babies galore and is thriving, I look after mine carefully n it doesn't look nearly as good 😂🤯
I think it's easy to overwater snake plants and if they have good light you can pretty well neglect them
some of those bloody plant peddlers will tell you anything to get you to purchase it! i learned that in my younger days for sure. all plants need light
I checked the roots on mine, they look fine. But it’s wrinkled and droopy even a couple days after watering it. 🤷🏻♀️debating just chopping them down to like 3 inches tall and waiting for new leaves to grow.
Love my 2 snake plants, Monty (python) and Medusa 🐍🌱
I name my plants too (:
Cocopeat is best for snake plants. You can make your non yellow strip plant bushy by cut one old leaf. It it in 4 and inert in dame pot. In few weeks you will find baby plants. I tried and it worked. For yellow strip, leaf will bring just green plant so better not to apply same hack on yellow strip plant.
I don’t have a snake plant yet - just can’t seem to find one that is not damaged. I’m on the hunt 😅. TFS, AllisonLP
Most so called low light plants thrives well if given sufficient amount of sunlight. Here in India My 4 varieties of SP receives 2-3 hrs of morning sunlight everyday.
You're cheating with your climate 😂
Now that's plant love thanks for sharing ❤
1:54 looked like he gave you the middle finger after you flicked him 😂
😅
With all these pecuatiries I am surprised more people do not companion plant these with somethimg that will take care of excess moisture etc.
Video request! Iridescent plant experiment? I think the begonia you’ve got in the back(the one with green on the right) is one of the tons of begonias that can flash iridescent blue when grown in low lights.
I finally got a begonia pavonina recently after years of trying to find one in the UK, and come to find out all different kinds of Rex begonias can get iridescent if you grow them in low enough light - but enough to keep them alive. I might be wrong about your specific one, but I’d love to see an experiment done by someone more experienced on that(or another) Rex begonia purposely grown in LL conditions to see how blue it can get. There’s some really cool pics of their iridescence online
Congrats on 300k btw! Well earned 👏
Thank you 😊
"The greatest cover up since the landing-on-the-moon-hoax" and "it just takes ages to die"
Thank you. I always use to say, that he is the victim of its own stability. It is such a strongly cultivated myth, so omnipresent. They so often are sold nursed to etiolation, which is even more mind boggling to me, even professional greenhouses seem to have missed the memo. One I purchased this year came, and I swear, it was so incredibly stemmy it looked like they'd put three leeks into a pot. He quickly caught the nickame "Seine Durchlauchtheit" ("his serene highness") because the german version of this title also reads like: "Leek through and through"
Well, his Serene Highness got a thorough cut on all "stems" (rhizomes they are) 2 in total in seperate pots, cutted one of the underground rhizomes and planted that (with zero expectations) and took cuttings from leaves that I put in water.
Today, that's pretty much one month ago. So, what happened?
The leek-tips have clearly established and are happily pusching out leaves from the center, roughly reaching 10cm now. It took some patience though, cause for about two weeks, nothing happened at all. The leaves I planted them with have not grown any inch. Not so sure about the coloration though, he should have a certain color which I'm still waiting to start seeing.
The aspargus head of a rhizome also came to life. Nothing for the longest time, then a tiny green spot on the surface. It's reached 1-1,5cm today.
The leaves in water... well. They got brown spots and gradually more dehydrated. Congrats. One pushed out one(!) teeny tiny bit of a root that kinda looked like a cats tooth. The other two leaves... I don't know. At first thought, a hair of mine got in. I finally put them in some sort of soil, jeez, I have other things to do, as well.
All in all, propagating them in water might be possible but it surely seems like a job (and anxiety) creation measure. All three methods were started at the same day, the substrate propagations all standing in the window facing the same direction (light exposure), just the cuttings had indirekt light cause I had them in a glass.
Conclusion: in their natural habitat these plants, as I found in a reddit post, sometimes even are seen as weeds, cause they are so persistant, so aggressively spreading, so extremely hard to efficiently get rid off. Do not give in into helicopter-controlling-impulses, this plant grows roots best, when they're out of our sight. In fact, from this experience, propagating them in a seethrough glass ridiculously elongates the process.
2:18 Can you tell me what that red beauty is in the background? Thanks!!
Coleus
Small pot, high-organic matter soil (peat moss), sun, water well when dry, and don’t let water sit in a saucer. They will grow faster than you think.
I always enjoy and learn from your videos 👍
Thank you 😊
I just checked a damaged leaf I cut off my snake plant and stuck in some water in an old medicine bottle with a piece of philodendron I wanted to root that was on 3-10-24 and it’s got 2 little roots 😊💃🏾
😁
About propagating them, I’ve recently heard that the propagations from cut leaves will always revert. That happened to a moonshine cutting I got. It took months for pups to form and when they did, they were not silvery at all. Has anyone experienced the same or can confirm this? Thanks!
Yep that’s true
@@SheffieldMadePlants argh, I would never guessed! Thanks! I was pretty disappointed when I saw the little pups coming out dark green! 😅
Great vid, but if you got your plant growing in water, and also a lot of sunlight, doesn't that make the water and stones etc go greeen algae from the sunlight?
Yeah it can do
I love this channel.
Thank you 😊
Be careful though with the direct sun.
I burned my snake plants when I put them on the balcony and the german summer almost killed it.
I had to move from my old apt. now I have no outside garden house cought fire, so I am gonna start a snake plant garden in my room.
Loved this video and learned a lot, as usual, but the screenshot is misleading. You combined snake plants to look more lush, but the title indicates that the picture shows new growth instead. It's not like you to intentionally mislead us.
