However, if the soil still feels slightly moist, it's best to wait a bit longer before watering. In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water your mother-in-law plant about once every 2-3 weeks. Be sure to thoroughly saturate the soil, allowing the water to drain out of the bottom of the pot to prevent waterlogged roots. In the winter months, when the plant is in a dormant phase, you can reduce watering frequency to once every 4-6 weeks. This allows your mother in law snake plant to rest and prevents overwatering during its slower growth period. Remember, it's always better to underwater than to overwater your Snake plant. These Sansevieria plants are quite resilient and can tolerate periods of drought. So, when in doubt, it's safer to err on the side of caution and water less frequently. Light Requirements Snake plants are known for their ability to adapt to a wide range of light conditions, making them an excellent choice for indoor spaces
