Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. More light will enhance the silvery sheen on the leaves, but avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the foliage.
  • Ideal Room: Suitable for living rooms, offices, or bedrooms with indirect light. This hardy plant thrives even in less sunny spaces.
  • Feeding: Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring to summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
  • Humidity: Tolerates low humidity and dry indoor conditions. No misting is necessary.
  • Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 60°F and 85°F (16°C to 29°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C) as this can damage the plant.
  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Sansevieria are drought-tolerant, so avoid overwatering. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
  • Pet/Child Safe: Non-toxic to pets and children, making it a great option for households with animals or young children.
  • Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus or succulent mix, or a mix with sand and perlite for improved drainage.
  • Propagation: Propagate by leaf cuttings or by dividing the plant during repotting. Place cuttings in water or soil until roots develop.
  • Eventual Height and Spread: Can grow up to 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) tall and about 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) wide.
  • Growth Rate: Slow-growing, especially in lower light conditions.
  • Pests and Treatment: Resistant to most pests, but watch for mealybugs or spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to prevent overwatering.
  • Pruning: Prune dead or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s appearance and encourage healthier growth.
  • Air Purification: Known for its air-purifying qualities, Sansevieria helps to remove harmful toxins such as formaldehyde from the air.
  • Folklore: Snake plants are often considered to bring good fortune and positive energy to the home, and are believed to be protectors against negative energy.
