There’s a reason you see snake plants everywhere—from sleek office lobbies to cozy, sun-drenched living rooms. Their architectural spears of green and gold seem to silently defy neglect, earning them a reputation as the ultimate “hard to kill” houseplant. But what if we shifted that perspective?

This guide is your key to moving from simply keeping it alive to helping it flourish, deepening that easy love with a little expert insight.
