Snake plants (Sansevieria) are low-maintenance and drought-tolerant plants that prefer their soil to dry out completely between waterings. Generally, you should water a snake plant about every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer), or whenever the top two inches of soil feels dry and crumbly. In winter, reduce watering to about once a month or less, as the plant's growth slows down and it requires less moisture

. Key watering tips include:

• Check soil moisture before watering by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil; water only if it feels dry

• Water sparingly, allowing excess water to drain out of the pot to prevent root rot

• Use lukewarm, filtered, or rainwater if possible, as tap water with chlorine can harm the plant

• Larger plants with more developed root systems may need slightly more water, but always let the soil dry out between waterings

Environmental factors such as light, temperature, humidity, soil type, and pot material affect how often you should water. More sunlight and warmer, drier conditions increase water needs, while lower light and cooler, more humid conditions reduce them

. In summary, water your snake plant approximately every two weeks during warmer months and less frequently in winter, always ensuring the soil is dry before watering again to avoid overwatering and root rot.
