Indoors, choose a well lit spot. Outdoors it needs a frost free site, so it is a plant for the subtropics and sheltered courtyards. Protect it from frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining soil is essential, whether in a pot or in the garden. Use a good potting mix indoors.

A snake plant is a slow grower, so the tube is a small starter plant, and the 140mm and 200mm pots give a bigger plant sooner. Tube stock comes from our grower and is not always available. When the grower has none, the tube shows as sold out on this page, and the notify button emails you the day it is back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants travel upright and settle fast. Pot up soon after delivery in free draining mix and water sparingly while it settles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant care guides and related reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/house-indoor-plants\"\u003eBrowse house and indoor plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/low-light-indoor-plants\"\u003eLow light indoor plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-for-pots\"\u003ePlants that suit pots\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/indoor-plant-tips-for-beginners\"\u003eIndoor plant tips for beginners\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Hahnii Snake Plant safe for pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Snake plants are mildly toxic to cats and dogs if chewed, and can cause drooling and an upset stomach.
