# Snake Plant

## Profile
Snake plant is drought tolerant because it stores water in thick leaves and roots. That tolerance makes excess frequency the main indoor risk.

## Care defaults
Use a draining potting mix, give bright indirect to moderate light, and let the mix dry more deeply than tropical foliage plants.

## Watchpoints
Soft bases or mushy leaves are urgent signs of root or crown rot.
