Costa Farms Snake Plant Live 3–4 ft in 12" Grower Pot — Air-Purifying, Low-Maintenance Indoor Plant

The Costa Farms Snake Plant is a hardy, upright houseplant with sword-like leaves that brings sculptural greenery and low-maintenance air-friendly presence to homes and offices.

Known also as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, this Snake Plant ships in a 12-inch grower’s pot at approximately 3–4 feet tall and adapts to a wide range of indoor conditions. It tolerates low light, requires infrequent watering, and grows slowly to moderately depending on temperature and light. Each specimen is hand-selected and packaged by Costa Farms so it arrives ready to display, and the plant is suitable for USDA Zones 9–11 when grown outdoors in appropriate climates.

How do I water and care for my Snake Plant?

Water sparingly and allow the top couple inches of soil to dry before watering again. Overwatering or letting the plant sit in soggy soil leads to root problems, so ensure good drainage or use roughly one cup of water if the container has no drainage holes and adjust as needed by environment.

• Water about once a week in average indoor conditions; reduce in lower light or winter.
• Ensure excess water drains away—avoid standing water in the saucer.
• Fertilize in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer per package directions.
• Repot only when rootbound into a slightly larger container with fresh potting mix.

Where should I place the Snake Plant indoors?

This plant prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates low-light locations, making it flexible for corners, office desks, or shaded porches. Position it near a sunny window for faster growth, or keep it in moderate light for slower, tidier development.

• Best growth near a bright window with indirect light.
• Accepts low light—ideal for offices, hallways, and bedrooms.
• Rotate occasionally for even leaf exposure and balanced shape.
• Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun that can scorch leaves.

What size and shipment details should I expect?

The plant ships at about 3–4 feet tall measured from the pot base to the top of the leaves and arrives in a 12-inch grower’s pot. Costa Farms hand-packs each plant for safe transit and warns buyers to purchase only from authorized sellers to ensure authenticity and quality.

• Approximately 3–4 feet tall at shipping, in a 12-inch grower’s pot.
• Shipped fresh from the farm with careful protective packaging.
• Not available to ship to AK, AZ, CA, GU, or HI; check seller details for authorization.
• Each live plant may vary slightly in appearance from photos.

How fast will it grow and when should I repot?

Growth rate ranges from slow to moderate based on light and temperature. Repot into a slightly larger container when roots crowd the current pot, refresh soil, and water thoroughly after repotting to help the plant settle.

• Slow to moderate grower; increases with bright light and warmth.
• Repot when roots circle the pot or soil dries very quickly after watering.
• Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage for best results.
