Sansevieria Zeylanica

Sansevieria Zeylanica

Sansevieria Zeylanica is a classic, no-fuss houseplant loved for its tall, sword-like leaves banded with silvery-green and dark green striping. With its upright form and elegant foliage, it adds vertical interest and a touch of structure to both traditional and modern interiors. This robust plant thrives on neglect and is perfect for anyone seeking beauty with minimal upkeep.

Sansevieria Zeylanica is a close relative of the more common snake plant but features more subtle variegation and slightly softer lines. It is drought-tolerant, highly adaptable to low light, and cleans the air by filtering indoor toxins, making it an excellent choice for homes and offices alike.

This resilient species tolerates irregular watering, dry indoor air, and a range of light levels, thriving even where other houseplants struggle. Its bold presence and effortless care make it a go-to staple for plant lovers of all experience levels.

care instructions:

Light Requirements: Tolerates low to bright indirect light; thrives in medium light for best color and growth.
Soil Needs: Requires well-draining sandy loam or cactus mix with added perlite or pumice.
Watering: Water only when the soil is completely dry; overwatering can lead to root rot.

Fertilizing: Feed once in spring and once in summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer.
Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves at the base with clean scissors or shears.
Repotting: Repot every 2 to 3 years or when rootbound, using fresh, well-draining soil.
