❓ Frequently Asked Questions

👉 What kind of pot is best for a snake plant?

The best pot for a snake plant is one that has good drainage, is slightly snug (not oversized), and is made of breathable materials like terracotta. Snake plants don’t like sitting in soggy soil, so drainage holes are a must! 🪴

👉 Do snake plants like deep pots or shallow pots?

Snake plants prefer moderately deep pots. Their roots grow more outward than downward, so you don't need an extremely deep container. Make sure the pot gives the roots a little room to spread without being too large.

👉 Can I plant a snake plant in a pot without drainage holes?

You can, but it's risky. 🚫 Without drainage, water can easily collect at the bottom, leading to root rot. If you must use a pot without holes, place a thick layer of gravel or stones at the bottom and water very sparingly.

👉 Is terracotta good for snake plants?

Yes! 🌿 Terracotta is one of the best materials for snake plants because it’s porous, allowing the soil to dry out more quickly between waterings.

👉 Can I repot my snake plant in a decorative pot right away?

Yes, but make sure you’re using the right soil and checking for drainage first.

👉 What size pot should I use for a snake plant?

Pick a pot that’s about 1 to 2 inches larger than the root ball of your snake plant. Oversized pots can hold too much moisture, which snake plants don’t like.
