- Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
- Planting: Place the Snake Plant in the 4-inch pot, ensuring the root ball is level with the soil surface. Fill in around the roots with soil and lightly firm it.
- Spacing: For a 4-inch pot, ensure there is sufficient space for the plant to grow. As it matures, it may need to be repotted into a larger container.
- Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is not actively growing.
