            Pot with drainage holes, Trowel, Watering can
            Wash hands after handling soil., Ensure pot is stable to prevent tipping.
            Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Fill the pot halfway with well-draining potting mix. Place the snake plant in the pot, ensuring the roots are covered. Add more potting mix around the plant, pressing gently to secure it. Water the plant thoroughly until water drains from the bottom. Place the pot in a location with indirect sunlight. Check the soil moisture weekly, watering only when dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer every few months. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust. Rotate the plant occasionally for even growth. Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when root-bound.
