plant tips

    Low; allow soil to dry completely between waterings.

  • light

    Low to bright, indirect light; very adaptable.

  • zone

    9 and above.

  • size

    Typically grows 2–4 feet tall indoors.

care

Plant the sansevieria in a location that gets direct sunlight or partial sunlight. Avoid completely shaded areas since the plant will grow thin and weak under these conditions.  Sansevieria likes a well-drained soil; wet feet will cause it to get root rot.  Fertilize the plant three times a year with a well-balanced fertilizer.  Pruning is only necessary to remove any damaged or old leaves that detract from its clean, stylized look.
