5. Humidity: Snake plants are adaptable to average household humidity levels. They can handle lower humidity, making them suitable for various climates.

6. Fertilizer: Snake plants are not heavy feeders and can thrive without frequent fertilization. You can apply a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer) if you'd like to give it a little boost.
