Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.
  • Ideal Room: Suitable for living rooms, offices, bedrooms, or small spaces with indirect light. Perfect for those looking for a compact plant.
  • Feeding: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring to summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
  • Humidity: Tolerates dry air and low humidity, making it a great choice for homes with air conditioning or heating.
  • Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 60°F and 85°F (16°C to 29°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to protect the plant from cold damage.
  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Sansevieria are drought-tolerant, so it’s important not to overwater. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
  • Pet/Child Safe: Non-toxic to pets and children, making it a safe addition to homes with animals or young children.
  • Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for cactus or succulents, or a mix with perlite and sand for optimal drainage.
  • Propagation: Propagate by leaf cuttings or by dividing the plant during repotting. Ensure each cutting has a node for successful rooting.
  • Eventual Height and Spread: Typically grows up to 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) tall and 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) wide, making it an ideal small houseplant.
  • Growth Rate: Slow-growing, especially in lower light conditions.
  • Pests and Treatment: Resistant to most pests, but watch for mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
  • Pruning: Prune dead or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s appearance. Remove old or yellowing leaves to encourage healthier growth.
  • Air Purification: Known for its air-purifying properties, Sansevieria helps to remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air.
  • Folklore: Snake plants are often believed to bring good luck, prosperity, and protection to the home, making them a popular addition to indoor spaces for positive energy.
