Mother-in-law’s tongue: It’s easier to handle than you think!

CHENNAI: Snake Plant, also known as Dracaena trifasciata or Mother-in-law’s Tongue, is one of the easiest plants to care for, and is great for homes and offices alike. And to give it the perfect environment and avoid common care mistakes here’s what you should do: Light and watering needs: Snake plants thrive in low to medium light, making them perfect for dim corners or spaces with limited sunlight. Soil and fertiliser: A succulent-type soil mix works best for snake plants, as it provides good drainage and helps prevent soggy roots. These plants aren’t heavy feeders and only need a little fertiliser once or twice a year, preferably during their growing season.
