How to Care for Your Snake Plant 'Black Robusta'

Place your Black Robusta in any well-lit area—though it tolerates low light, bright indirect light helps maintain its rich color and pattern. Use a cactus or succulent soil mix, and only water when the soil is completely dry. This variety is highly drought-tolerant and prone to overwatering if watered too frequently.

Snake plants thrive in average indoor humidity and do well in a wide range of temperatures. No regular feeding is necessary, but you can apply a diluted succulent fertilizer once during the growing season for a boost.
