Being of very vertical growth, the sansevieria fills a nondescript corner of the house with color and elegance. It also balances spaces with a too horizontal decoration (on a piece of furniture or with a set of smaller plants).
Care:
- Place it in a room with plenty of natural light and protected from hot or cold drafts
- Watering, in summer 2 times a week and in winter it will be enough to water it every 6 - 7 days, and never leave a dish with water as its roots would rot.
- Fertilize during the growing season with special mineral fertilizers for cacti or succulents or with nitrophosca
- Substrate, it is important that it has good drainage, so we recommend mixing mulch with perlite in equal parts, putting a first layer of volcanic clay inside the pot to ensure rapid water drainage.
- Pruning, removing withered flowers and leaves
