Caring for a boa constrictor does not require specialist skills, but some specific actions ensure its healthy development!
watering
In hot seasons, the plant should be watered three times a week. In the coldest, the frequency of watering should be reduced.
Lighting
The boa adapts to environments with shade or direct sunlight, but its growth is favored in places with indirect light. For this reason, it is perfectly suited for indoor environments, such as the bathroom or kitchen, where the lighting is softer.
However, it is essential to protect it from direct exposure to the sun, which can burn its leaves.

Fertilizing

pests and diseases
Despite their hardiness, boa constrictors can be subject to pests and diseases. A cochinealit is one of the most common pests, which can arise due to lack of adequate fertilization.

Pruning
Carrying out pruning every five or six months contributes to the maintenance of the plant and to a more exuberant appearance.
In addition, it is recommended to remove yellow, dry or burnt leaves frequently, in order to allow healthy growth of new leaves.
