Caring for Sansevieria

 Light Needs

Snake plants are versatile and can tolerate a wide range of light, from low to bright indirect sunlight. For the brightest leaf colouring and growth, place it in a spot with medium to bright light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

  Watering

Sansevieria prefers to dry out between waterings. Water every 2-4 weeks, depending on the season and humidity levels in your home. Overwatering is its worst enemy—always check the soil and ensure it’s dry before adding water. In Winnipeg’s dry winters, water sparingly to prevent root rot.

 Feeding

Feed your snake plant with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. No fertiliser is needed in the colder months when growth slows down.
