Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.
  • Ideal Room: Suitable for small spaces like offices, desks, or bathrooms with indirect light. Great for adding a touch of greenery to any room.
  • Feeding: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during the winter months.
  • Humidity: Tolerates dry air and low humidity, making it a great option 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) as it can damage the plant.
  • 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. Make sure 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 compact 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.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot with drainage holes to allow water to escape and prevent root rot.
  • Pruning: Prune dead or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s shape and appearance. Remove yellowing or old leaves to encourage healthier growth.
  • Air Purification: Known for its air-purifying qualities, Sansevieria helps remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air.
  • Folklore: Snake plants are often believed to bring good luck, protection, and positive energy into the home, making them a popular addition to living spaces for a sense of well-being.
