Known for its air-purifying properties and hardy nature, this plant is perfect for homes and offices, bringing both style and functionality to your indoor spaces.

Key Features:

Pet Friendliness:

The Sansevieria Trifasciata is not pet-friendly. It contains saponins, which can be toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and children to ensure their safety.

Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, but is highly adaptable and can tolerate low-light conditions. It can also handle some direct sunlight, though prolonged exposure may cause leaf discoloration.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common mistake, so water sparingly and ensure the pot has good drainage.

Humidity: Prefers average indoor humidity and doesn’t require additional misting, making it an excellent choice for most home environments.

Temperature: Grows best in temperatures between 16–29°C. Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to prevent waterlogging.

Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Feeding can be reduced or skipped in fall and winter.

Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. The roots prefer being slightly pot-bound.

Pro tip: Ensure to keep it's tips pointy. The plant will not grow if the tips are broken off.
