Planting and care

Snake plants produce rhizomes and are easily divided. Although this can be done any time, spring is best. Your newly propagated plants will also grow faster as summer is growing season.
You can also propagate snake plants through leaf cuttings. Just cut 2 to 3-inch pieces of a leaf and place them about 1 inch deep in soil appropriate for snake plants. Make sure to plant cuttings facing up, the same direction they were growing.

Sunlight: Sansevieria prefers bright light with some sun. They can adapt to full sun.

Soil: A loose, well-drained potting mix.Sandier soil is good for them.

Water: Moderately

Temperature: 12-29 degrees C

Fertilizer: Apply any organic fertilizer during the growing season; do not fertilize in the winter.

Caring for Sansevieria trifasciata Hahnii

Place sansevierias in moderately bright or filtered light. Good locations include a spot in front of a north-facing window or in front of a bright, sunny window covered by a sheer curtain.
Although the plant tolerates low light, bright light brings out the colors in the leaves. However, intense light may cause the edges of the leaves to turn yellow.
Allow the soil to dry completely before watering, and then water deeply until water drips through the drainage hole. Allow the pot to drain and then discard water that remains in the saucer.
Never allow the soil to become soggy and never let the pot stand in water. Water sparingly throughout the winter.
Like most succulent plants that store water in their leaves, sansevieria rots quickly in the excessively wet soil. Place sansevieria in average room temperatures.
Protect the plant from drafts and cold temperatures as it is damaged at temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Feed the plant once every three weeks throughout the summer.
Use a general-purpose fertilizer for houseplants diluted to one-half the strength suggested on the container.
Sansevieria is a light feeder and too much fertilizer makes the leaves fall over.
