Let us hear David’s
I remember the first time that I saw a Moonshine snake plant. It was in my neighbour’s house…
….and it was the strangest thing I had ever seen! It was so tall and skinny like an actual snake, with its head twisted…
….sideways as if it were looking at you then turning around to look back.
The leaves are like little grass blades sticking out of all over its body on this long stem which twists around again…
.…and again into different directions. You can see how much it likes to move by watching how quickly those leaf blades…
...grow taller or shorter, depending on the light- they’re really fast growing plants!
Moonshine Snake Plants are stunning houseplants. They add a unique beauty to your home and purify the air around it.

How to Care for Your Moonshine Snake Plant
This plant may seem captivating, but you may have some questions regarding care for this beautiful plant.
Below, I will attempt to answer some of your questions regarding care for your moonshine snake plant.
How Much Light Does My Moonshine Snake Plant Need?
Moonshine Snake Plants can survive in a variety of light conditions.
They can survive full sun or through little direct sunlight, but do best in bright indirect light.
Taking care not to put the pot directly in the solar rays inside or outside your home is the ideal solution…
…to maximizing the amount of sunlight your plants get.
Bright indirect light enables the plant to absorb the nutrients necessary for its growth.
If you find that your leaves are turning a deeper shade of green, perhaps you need more light for your plant.
The dark green color of the leaves is also very pretty.
Also, the plant can survive in low light, so green leaves are not immediately a sign of danger.
How Do I Water My Moonshine Snake Plant?
As a type of succulent, Moonshine Snake Plants do not need much water.
It is best to let the plant become completely dry between watering so it does not get wet.
This will keep rotting issues at bay.
During watering, try to avoid letting the leaves get wet. Your Moonshine Snake Plant will thrive closer to dry foliage.
The nature of each plant and each environment makes it difficult to assign a universal timeline…
….to how often water needs to be applied. Moonshine Snake Plants need to be watered about every 3-6 weeks.
If the top layer of soil in your plant’s pot is completely dry (as deep as your first fingernail), then it is time to water!
A thorough watering of your Moonshine Snake Plant is required.
The soil should remain very wet, but no water should be left uncovered at the bottom.
The remaining standing water can cause decay as well. Make sure the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot…
…is clear of any standing water. You need to check out this article about overwatering moonshine snake plants.
It will walk you through a simple, easy to follow procedure.
Your Moonshine snake plant does not require much watering. Just water it and let it stay alone.
Don’t overthink it, and do not overwater it and it will survive!
Here’s the main thing
What is the Ideal Temperature Range?
Moonshine Snake Plants thrive at temperatures between 55°F (13°C) and 85°F (29°C).
The plant is originally from West Africa, where the temperatures are often above 66°F (19°C).
Keep your plant in that temperature range at home is a good idea.
The Moonshine Snake Plant is hardy, so fluctuating temperatures shouldn’t harm the plant.
If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures in the winter, keep it warm…
….and if your temperatures reach over 85°F (29°C) in the summer, keep it cool.
You need to make sure your crops rely on appropriate amounts of water when temperatures fluctuate.
If the plant is cooler, you can enjoy longer watering intervals.
Watering every two weeks instead of every three weeks may be more appropriate when it is warmer.
Keep an eye on your plant and follow its cues. As temperatures drop, it is much easier to water too much…
….so keep an eye on the thermostat and water only when the soil has completely dried out.
Last but not least…
What About Humidity Requirements?
Moonshine Snake Plants will survive in any humidity level in a room that has been properly ventilated.
Adding extra humidity is not necessary when watering, as the soil usually needs time to dry out between waterings.
Due to its succulent nature, the Moonshine Snake Plant adapts to its surroundings.
In West Africa Moonshine Snake Plants are in need of rain to get enough water.
There are two long dry seasons in that part of the world where rain (and humidity levels) are relatively rare.
For your Moonshine Snake Plant, this means that less humidity is better!
Bathrooms have higher humidity levels than other rooms, such as a bedroom.
In any room in the house, your Moonshine Snake Plant will thrive and adjust to the humidity levels of the room.
In terms of humidity, you need not worry about anything! It is not a good idea to mist your Moonshine with water,
because finding a bottle to mist will result in wet plants.
Remember, your Moonshine leaves need to stay dry at all times!
