Sansevieria

Sansevieria (Dracaena trifasciata) is a cactus-like plant in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae) with distinctive long strap-like leaves. It is native to Africa, notably Madagascar, and southern Asia. They spread through rhizomes. The white flowers emit a sweet woozy fragrance.
Sansevierias are strong houseplants that are not very susceptible to pests and diseases.
At night, the long leaves absorb CO₂ from the air, making them suitable for bedrooms. Because the leaves are poisonous when ingested, a spot in a child’s room is undesirable.

Location: bright spot, but not in direct sunlight. In darker areas, the variegated colors become softer.
Soil: potting soil for cacti, or peat-free regular potting soil mixed with some sharp sand.
Repotting: Sansevierias grow slowly, repotting is only necessary once every two or three years. Choose a pot that is at least 20% larger.
Watering: In moderation! Better to have too little water than too much. In winter, a little water once a month is sufficient. Rest of the year: only water only when the soil is dry; avoid leaving water in the ornamental pot.
Care: Give sansevierias some ‘Cactus & Succulent’ or ‘Houseplant’ labelled concentrate fertiliser once a month from March through September. Then immediately wipe off the leaves dust with a damp cloth. A sansevieria cannot be pruned.
Cuttings: Multiply sansevierias by dividing them. Using a knife, carefully cut away a leaf with a piece of root from the plant and plant it in a small pot with some potting soil mixed with sharp sand. Water and place the new plant in a bright spot, but not in direct sunlight.
