Plant Care

Light: Sansevieria Zeylanica is highly adaptable to various light conditions. It can thrive in low to bright, indirect light. While it's tolerant of low-light areas, it does best in moderate, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Temperature: Maintain a comfortable indoor temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C). These plants can tolerate slightly cooler or warmer conditions but should be protected from drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Sansevieria Zeylanica is drought-tolerant and prefers to be underwatered rather than overwatered. Water moderately during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce watering in the dormant season (fall and winter).

Soil: Use well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for cacti or succulents is suitable. Proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Pot: Select a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil. Sansevieria Zeylanica prefers slightly crowded conditions and does not require frequent repotting.

Fertilization: Feed your plant sparingly. Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent salt buildup.

Pests: Sansevieria Zeylanica is generally resistant to pests, but occasional spider mites or mealybugs may appear. Inspect your plant regularly and treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Maintenance: Remove any dead or discolored leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance.
