Planting something new

I got myself in the mood for planting new snake plants. I just cut a few extended leaves from the other plants, and put them all together.
But I'm not sure if it was right to put them in my room since there won't be sun light. Once it's newly planted, they shouldn't be watered for a week or two for them to adjust.
I've also been planting more okras since the infestation. But there are growing more as we speak.
This will be one of the new plants before the year ends.

Hello @JudyEv Yes, I have also research one of their nick names,and it can be poisonous when eaten by some one.

I hope they will grow big and healthy! My mother likes them. I like how they look when they grow taller.

@Letranknight2015 Some plant them indoor, like in the livingroom or balcony.

Ohhh, we have these in our dining area! The particular area they sit on does not have much light - it's actually quite dim but they've been doing well there for a year. They don't need much tending to - it's better not to water them too much. They also say snake plants filter out toxins in the air - so I'm thrilled with that! Enjoy your snake plants .. . hope the okras make it this time!

Hello @JudyEv Yes the okras are growing pods as we speak but mom already harvested one. That's true they don't need too much tending.

Since I read that on Facebook I told my sister that we should bring inside our house a pot of that kind of plant. We also recall our mother brought in young coconut plants and other 'detoxifying ' plants as well.
Those plants do not need much water. I think twice a week is fine.

Hello @ridingbet I don't have coconut plants, don't these turned into trees? There are other detoxifying plants out there but I'm more comfortable with the Snake plant. Unfortunately, some of the snake plants are mixed with plants that requires water everyday, I think of removing them.

@ridingbet We can't have coconuts here, let alone the papaya plants dont' strive long once it becomes a tree.

@Letranknight2015 the coconut was still in the nut and placed on a big vase, when the plant was growing bigger, my mother thought of bringing it out.

For a couple hours each day, sit your snake plant out somewhere, so it can get sunlight. Then, move it back into your room. I've done this many times, with house plants.

Hello @kobesbuddy I used to do that before, but those were already planted ones. I did what you advise me to do and I hope it would grow well.

@Letranknight2015 As long as they get some direct sunlight, they will be very healthy:)

I have a vase of this plant in my living room. It is easy to look after this houseplant.

I have never heard of snake plants. What are they exactly?

We call them Mother-in-law plants also. I guess because the women can be so mean with their words. I have one also.

Hello @misunderstood_zombie I think base on research they called it mother in laws' tongue was because when you bite this plant, your tongue goes numb.

@Letranknight2015 I always assumed it's because the plant is sharp, and the a mean mother's words are sharp.
