Humidity

Soil
Comet Green Parrot Snake Plant is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!
Fertilizer
Comet Green Parrot Snake Plant grows very slowly and doesn’t require added fertilizer. Replacing your plant’s potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
Dormancy
It’s common for Comet Green Parrot Snake Plant to go dormant in the summertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
Native Region
Comet Green Parrot Snake Plant is native to Africa and Southeast Asia.
