How do I care for this plant??

Help. I was recently gifted this plant but I don’t know how to care for anything except for succulents (quite poorly). How do I care for it? How much water does it need? I need recommendations so I don’t kill this plant. #NewPlant #howtogrow #help #RattlesnakePlant

Good morning Hannah!

I was gifted my Rattlesnake plant πŸͺ΄ last Christmas and find that he's quite easy to care for.

He's under a grow light 8 hours a day and I let him get almost dry before watering with distilled water.

Rattlesnake plants don't like their leaves touched and don't mist.
Every 3 months or so, I spray a combination of Neem oil and water to keep his leaves shiny while also removing the dust.

Good luck πŸ‘ πŸ’“ ✨️ and have fun with your plants!

Oh...I forgot to mention...they are so much fun!
The leaves of the Rattlesnake plant move slightly during the day and come evening, they stand straight up!

It's hard to see in your photo, the actual size of your plant.
It's in a large pot and may need to be repotted to a one size smaller pot in the Spring.
