While not necessary, keep turning the plant by a few inches, every few days, to let equal light exposure to all sides.SoilUse well-draining potting mix. A cactus or succulent mix works well as it prevents water from accumulating at the roots.WateringSansevieria are generally drought tolerant plants, hence best suited for forgetful plant parents. But do not over water. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between two watering sessions. Thoroughly water after an interval of 15-20 days depending upon the season. This gives an idea of how low the watering requirement the plant commands. Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer. Skip fertilizing in winter.PruningPrune if the leaves have dried off. Sansevieria multiply fast and easily. Hence repot or transfer the new growth to other pot, when overcrowded. Propagation by suckers or by sub-division is very easy. Easily propagated by division or leaf cuttings. For division, simply separate the offsets from the main plant. For leaf cuttings, cut a leaf into sections and plant them in moist soil.Maintenance level LowPurifying qualitiesYes, one of the rare indoor plants that continue to absorb CO2 and exhale oxygen even in the night time Note: Since these are live plants, the actual size and condition of the plant may slightly differ from what is shown in the picture, depending on the growth stage of the plant at the time of your order. However, we make the best effort to match the plant that is delivered to you, with the looks shown in the representation, after considering delivery and perishability constraints during the delivery period. The plant comes in 4 inch black grow pot.
