Easy Care Plants

Sansevieria is also known as Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law’s Tongue. This popular and versatile plant is perfect for any home or workplace. This plant is loved for its low maintenance requirements and unique appearance.

Sansevieria plants have long, narrow leaves that grow vertically from the base of the plant. The leaves are also thick and fleshy, which allows them to store water and makes them tolerant to periods of drought.

Sansevieria is an ideal choice for low-light areas, as it can tolerate both bright and low-light conditions. It is also drought-tolerant, meaning it requires very little watering and is an excellent choice for those who may forget to water their plants regularly.

Sansevieria plants have been shown to remove harmful toxins from the air, making them a valuable addition to any indoor space.

Sansevieria has been on the houseplant scene for a long time and for a number of good reasons. Some species of this genus are some of the hardiest and most robust houseplants you can buy. They are the most tolerable to neglect and can seem to survive just about anything that is thrown at them. For beginners or those who wish for greenery in their homes but are not green-fingered, this is the plant for you.

Sanseveria has recently gone through a reclassification change as a result of molecular phylogenetic studies, so since 2017 it has been included in the genus Dracaena which is part of the Asparagaceae family. The original genus of Sansevaria was made up of around 70 different species that widely range from thinner-leafed tropical environment plants to the mega resilient desert dwelling succulent varieties. This highly diverse species is native to a few different regions most notably across Africa and Southern Asia. It is this wide variety of environments that has led Sansevieria to create such wide differences from species to species.

Houseplant Sansevieria is often the hard-leafed species, these incredibly robust succulents can grow up to eight feet tall if well-kept for long enough. But they offer much more than height. Their tight slender nature allows them to have a big presence without being over-imposing and growing widely out of control. This type of Sansevieria is often referred to as a Snake plant or Mother-in-law tongue due to the tongue-like appearance of its leaves and maybe its notably hard-to-kill nature.

These features have helped this plant to become amongst the most popular and frequently bought houseplants. You can put it just about anywhere from the brightest spot to the darkest and this plant will still be happy and growing.

? Care Guide for Sansevieria Black Diamond Plant 9cm pot

Welcome to the easy care world of the Sansevieria, also fondly known as the Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law’s Tongue. Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent or a newbie to the botanical scene, this guide will help you ensure your Sansevieria thrives in your space.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

Sansevieria is wonderfully flexible regarding lighting. It thrives in medium light but is also quite content in low light conditions. Ideal spots include a few feet away from a south-facing window or in a bright, indirect light setting.

? Water

?▫️▫️ (Low)

Less is more when it comes to watering your Sansevieria. Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to once a month or less. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s best to err on the side of caution.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)

This plant prefers average room temperatures between 15-24°C. Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes to keep your plant happy.

? Humidity

?▫️▫️ (Low)

The Sansevieria is not fussy about humidity. Standard home humidity levels are adequate, making it a fuss-free companion for any room.

? Repotting

Sansevieria grows relatively slowly and doesn’t need frequent repotting. Consider repotting every 2-3 years to refresh the soil. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one formulated for cacti and succulents, to ensure the health and growth of your plant.

? Pet Friendliness

Take care if you have curious pets at home, as Sansevieria is toxic if ingested. It’s best to keep this plant out of reach of pets and small children.

? Recommended locations at home

Thanks to its versatility, you can place your Sansevieria in a variety of locations. It’s perfect for offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms, particularly in spots that might be less suitable for fussier plants.

? Air Purifying

Sansevieria is known for its air-purifying qualities. It can help remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air, making it not just beautiful but beneficial.

✨ Other Plant Features

The ‘Black Diamond’ variety boasts elegant, dark green leaves that can add a touch of sophistication to any interior decor. Its resilience and air-purifying properties make it a top choice for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts.

I did not expect the items in my order to be so stunning and utterly joyous! The moss just sprang into verdant glory as soon as I unshackled it from its wax paper and unleashed it in its prepared spot in the miniature Lord of the Rings mood garden 🤪 As I said to the postie, forget snow to eskimos, we are shipping moss to Argyll! Lovely wee selection. The moss pole with cup is brilliantly designed and will make my monstera much happier in a room heated with a log burner and near a radiator. She is already very tolerant and happy but this will hopefully set her up for winter. A daily drench of warmed rainwater on that pole will recreate Amazonia for a plant that in my experience loves heat as long as humidity is good and I’m confident she will take over the world. Please never stop doing extensions!
