Moisture, light, root bound or not. Bought one at Lowe's, It's in a 6 inch pot but te pot is totally full of the plant or plants, Does it need a larger pot. Any help appreciated.
The plants in the pot vary in height from 4 inches to 2 feet. Does that make a difference regarding re-potting?

if you can see roots in the holes in the bottom of the pot, re=plant it. only go about 1" bigger in pot size. they basically thrive on neglect (maybe that is why they call it "mother-in=law's tongue) lol...anyway, they tolerate almost any conditions. i have one near a window, and one in my hallway with no natural light at all. i water them once a week. i even have some growing in a flower vase that i separated off my large one. they have been in water for 2 years.

I started with 1 plant and continual divide it every year, it just grows and grows, I now have 2 big pots that I bring in during the Winter and on the patio in the Summer, they get direct sun in Summer & filtered in the house. I water whenever, I check to see if dry. And yes it can take alot of abuse. If eaten it will make you lose your voice for a while (never tried it ) maybe thats why its called mother-in-law tongue. Have had them 6yrs.

Snake plants don't attract snakes. The leaves look like snake's tongue. That's why they call it Snake Plant.
