Sansevieria Laurentii Care

Dracaena Trifasciata

What is the plant

It is an evergreen perennial plant that has up to 6 leaves per rosette that more closely resemble a succulent or cacti than a garden perennial. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding, and usually range between 2.5 and 3 feet in length and 2 to 2.8 inches in width. Leaves which develop under bright light out of doors or in bright greenhouses have prominent light cross-bands, while those which develop under 2000 foot-candles or less, or are held under low light intensities, have nearly solid dark green leaves.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Watering during daytime allows the excess water on leaves to dry out. this can happen particularly in the case of bird's nest (hahnii) cultivars of sansevieria trifasciata. as these plants have rosette shaped wide leaves in a dense circular arrangement, they are more prone to retain water.
Pruning
Pinch off dead leaves and stems.
Fertilizer
Simply apply the fertilizer around the base of the plant, extending to the drip line. For vegetables, place the fertilizer in a strip parallel to the planting row. Water-soluble fertilizers are faster acting but must be applied more frequently. This method gives plants food while you water.

Sunlight
The East window is often considered the best window for houseplants as its cooler than the west window without the dangers of overheating. West windows received full sun for part of the day and bright light for the rest, great for flowering plants.
Soil
Loamy soil, a relatively even mix of sand, silt and clay, feels fine-textured and slightly damp. It has ideal characteristics for gardening, lawns and shrubs. Loamy soil has great structure, adequate drainage, is moisture retaining, full of nutrients, easily cultivated and it warms up quickly in spring, but doesn't dry out quickly in summer.
Temperature
The best temperatures to grow snake plant range from 70 to 90°F which can be maintained in most greenhouses. Temperatures should not be permitted to drop 40 to 45°F. Frost is especially harmful to sansevieria. If you plan to keep your snake plant outside, be sure to bring it in before a hard freeze.
