Care tips for your Sansevieria

Sansevierias are ideal houseplants because they require very little water. The most common mistake when caring for this plant is overwatering. Are you unsure whether to water? Then it is better to wait. Make sure that the potting soil has completely dried out before watering again. If the soil remains moist for too long, root rot can occur, which can eventually lead to the death of the plant.

Pay attention to the signs of overwatering: are the leaves of your Sansevieria hanging limp? Then the plant has probably been given too much water. In that case, it is best to repot the plant. Use a new pot with fresh potting soil, or replace the old potting soil in the current pot. Throw away the old, soaked soil to prevent further damage.

How often should you water a Sansevieria?

• In winter: once every 6 to 8 weeks is sufficient.
• During the growing season (spring and summer): water about once every 2 weeks.
• During a heat wave: an extra watering can't hurt.

The amount of water your Sansevieria needs depends on the pot size and light intensity .

• A larger pot holds more water.
• A plant in a south-facing window uses 2 to 3 times as much water as a plant in a north-facing window.

Tip: Check the soil regularly. Stick your finger up to two knuckles deep into the potting soil. Is the soil still very wet after three days? Then give less water next time.

With these simple tips you can enjoy your Sansevieria optimally. Have fun with your green housemate!
