Key Features

• Size & Growth:

The Sansevieria plant grows slowly and can reach a height of 3-4 feet when fully mature.

• Sunlight:

Thrives best in medium to bright indirect light but can also tolerate low and high light conditions. Avoid exposing it to harsh direct sunlight.

• Watering:

Water the plant only when the soil is completely dry, usually once a week or every 10 days. Be careful not to overwater, as it can lead to root rot. 

• Foliage:

Beautiful variegated sword-shaped leaves with light grey-green stripes and yellow borders. The Snake Plant stores water in its leaves, making it a hardy succulent.

• Soil:

Use well-draining soil. For the best results, use our Indoor Plants Potting Mix, which improves drainage and prevents root rot. 

• Temperature:

Best grown in temperatures between 21°C and 32°C. Keep it away from extreme cold or drafts.

• Container:

An ideal choice is a 6–12 inch pot or grow bag with drainage holes. Make sure the plant doesn’t become waterlogged.

• Bloom:

Snake plants may occasionally produce small, fragrant, greenish-white flowers in clusters, and rarely, they may also bear small, berry-like fruits.

Tips for Care

• Fertilising:

Feed lightly every other month during the growing season.  Use diluted magnesium-rich fertilisers like epsom salt, bone meal, or vermicompost to enhance growth. Reduce feeding during winters.

• Pest-Resistant:

The Sansevieria plant is generally resistant to pests, but watch for mealybugs or spider mites. Neem oil or pest controllers can keep these in check.

• Pruning:

Remove any dead, damaged, or yellow leaves from the plant using sterilised scissors or a knife. This helps the plant redirect its energy toward new, healthy growth.

• Dusting:

Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep your plant looking fresh. Avoid using commercial leaf cleaners or shine products, as they may damage or discolour the leaves.

Important Note

• Toxicity:

Snake Plants are mildly toxic to pets and children if ingested. Please keep them out of reach.

Note: The plants may or may not contain flowers or buds. There are chances that the buds/flowers could dry up due to transit stress even though we pack them with extreme care. The local climatic conditions and fertilization habits can affect the brightness & colour intensity of flowers. While we make every effort to match the actual colours of the flowers, the photographs may not be the exact representation, due to different monitor settings.
