• Light

  Rattlesnake plants love bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun exposure can hurt them and cause the leaves to burn. So, keeping your rattlesnake plant near a north-facing window is better for the perfect balance of light. 

• Soil

  Please note that the choice of soil is important to your plant's health. For the best rattlesnake plants to grow, choose a well-draining and nutrient-rich soil mixture. This plant thrives in slightly acidic or neutral soil pH levels (a pH level between 5.5 and 7).

• Water

  How often should I water my Rattlesnake plant? Simply water regularly, and avoid overwatering or underwatering, which can cause the stems to break down or rot quickly. To check the perfect timing for watering, stick your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, then it's time to water. Or use self-watering pots and set a watering schedule.

• Temperature

  Rattlesnake plants thrive in an ideal temperature between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Protect the plant from cold and dry air as it can cause leaf drop. In addition, providing adequate humidity is essential for optimal growth. Rattlesnake plants prefer humidity levels reach 50 percent or higher.
