Dee W on May 26, 2012Mostly an indoor plant but can be put in containers for outside then brought in when weather would stress it.Helpful Reply

Pam on May 26, 2012I have raised them mostly outside but will do well inside. I had them in an outside flower bed and they did well except with a hard freeze. If you cut down the frozen top in spring they will regrow.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on May 27, 2012Folks grow them outdoors in shady spots in my part of Florida, but I suspect where you are in Georgia you should consider them an indoor plant.Helpful Reply

Pam on May 27, 2012The location I planted them in is a bed that got only morning sun. They did greate and multiplied well. It also was just under the overhang and did not ever get rain water (except when we had a hurricaine or two). I did not water frequently but they didn't seem to mind gettig dry. In fact, if they got watered too frequently the leaves turned yellow and progressed to a slimmy death. I watered them only about once per week. Oh, and here we call them "mother-in-law tongues", not snake plants. I guest it's a cajun thing.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on May 28, 2012That's odd, Gynarchy. How much do you water? Is you plant somewhere it is getting a draft from a heater or anything?Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on May 30, 2012You really need to stick your finger or a chopstick in the dirt to get a sense of when they need water, rather than relying on a set schedule.Helpful Reply
