They’re very chilled about light levels. They’ll be happy in any light conditions, but love bright, indirect light.
If you’re forgetful about watering, you’ll love them. They’re very drought tolerant and like to dry out between drinks.
If you want to be very nice, give them a liquid feed (diluted to half strength) once in spring and again in summer.

Snake plants are the ideal beginner plant because they need almost no attention and will be happy wherever you put them. You hardly ever have to water them and there’s no other upkeep involved except for a gentle dusting every now and then. This set is made up of snake plants with a mix of colours and shapes. They may be tiny but they have big personalities.
Pots not included set includes:
Mikey - Scientifically known as sansevieria mikado, Mikey is made of tough stuff. He’ll be happy in almost any light condition and he’s very used to droughts in his home country of Africa, so he won’t mind if you forget to water him - in fact he’d probably prefer it.
Mindi - A close relation to Mikey, Mindi’s scientific name is sansevieria mikado fernwood. Compact with dark green leaves and bright green tiger stripes, Mindi looks fabulous and is practically indestructible. Keep her leaves looking fresh with regular dusting and only water her once the soil has completely dried out.
Miley - Known as the sansevieria spikey, Miley certainly has a strong personality. Her gorgeous green leaves stand firmly upright, giving her a distinctive and stylish look. As with other snake plants, don’t worry about watering her, and while she loves bright indirect light she’ll do just fine in a shady corner.
Mandy - With the official name of sansevieria tough lady, you know Mandy will survive pretty much anything. Her striped leaves grow out from a central point, so she looks a bit like the top of a pineapple. She won’t need much to drink, so let her dry out completely between waterings.
Mitch - A sansevieria robusta, like Mitch, has a particularly striking appearance with his mottled green leaves. He’ll thrive in bright, indirect light but will make do wherever you decide to put him. Go easy on the watering, like his family, Mitch much prefers droughts and neglect.
