Care Tips

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. It is highly adaptable and can tolerate low-light conditions, though colors may be less intense. Avoid harsh direct sun.

• Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common issue; when in doubt, it's better to underwater. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

• Humidity: Tolerates average household humidity levels.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti. Good drainage is crucial.

• Temperature: Prefers average room temperatures between 18-35°C (65-95°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

• Feeding: Fertilize sparingly, if at all. A diluted succulent fertilizer once during the spring or summer growing season is plenty.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them glossy.

Important Note

Like all Sansevieria, this plant is toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
