Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) Care
Sansevieria is easy to grow. It will thrive in either very bright light or almost dark corners of the house. An ideal container plant, it is excellent in a grouping and will grow equally well on the floor or on tabletop displays. These plants are also drought resistant. There are two low-growing varieties, but these are rarely seen in garden centers.
Light- Although they are very forgiving, Sansevieria plants prefer indirect but steady light with some direct sun. They can adapt to full sun conditions and will also survive quite dim situations.
Soil- Sansevieria plants prefer a loose, well-drained potting mix. This plant will do well in sandier soils.
Water- Allow the soil to dry completely before watering, and then water deeply untill water drips through the drainage hole.
Temperature and Humidity- Sansevieria prefers warm conditions and will suffer if exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. A temperature range between 70 and 90 degrees is best.
Fertilizer- Feed with a mild cactus fertilizer during the growing season or a balanced liquid slow-release (10-10-10 fertilizer) diluted to half-strength. Do not fertilize in the winter.
Potting and Repotting- When potting, choose a sturdy material as strong roots can easily crack and break weak pots. Repot these plants in the spring. When repotting, always use fresh potting soil.
