The pot needs drainage holes because snake plants are from the desert and pots with no holes in the bottom hold in too much water. Use a pot the same size as its current pot, but with holes in the bottom. Use a homemade succulent soil mix (find a recipe online) and watch a video on how to repot succulents.

@TheGnome contrary to popular belief snake plants like sunlight. I would definitely move it closer to a window and basically forget about it. They don't want to be fussed over they retain water so they don't need to be watered as often as other plants do.

@TheGnome Dex looks great BTW! So tall! They aren't very fast growers either so don't worry too much about it not growing.

@TheGnome oh, okay! I've made that mistake before 😅. In that case, it's pretty healthy! It may need to be moved a little closer to a window, though.
