Sansevieria Samurai Dwarf’

What is the plant

This rare sansevieria ‘Samurai Dwarf’ is believed to have originated in Africa. It has a short stature, only growing 4-6” tall. The short, green leaves have a pronounced V-shape with a slight red tint on the leaf edges and leaf tips, and they arise on the stem in an alternating pattern. Looking down from the top, it creates a pleasing, circular form. Like all sansevierias, it grows best in full sun. Water only when the soil is dry.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Because this plant is a succulent it stores water within its foliage, so it is not necessary to keep the soil damp. Water from spring to fall when the soil becomes dry to the touch and during the winter only once a month. Be careful not to over water as this can cause the root and base of the plant to rot.
Fertilizer
During the main growing season (spring - fall) feed with a diluted cactus and succulent fertilizer once a month.
Sunlight
Sansevieria is well known for coping with direct sun and low light conditions, although bright light conditions with some sun light and shade is preferred.
