• Fertilizer: Feed your Dwarf Snake Plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
• Propagation: Dwarf Snake Plants can be easily propagated by dividing the root ball and repotting the new plants.
• Overall, Dwarf Snake Plants are low-maintenance and can thrive in a variety of conditions. Just be sure not to overwater them and they should do well in your home.
