Sansevieria Bacularis 'Mikado' Care

The plant does not require frequent watering. Do not overwater - check the soil and wait until it fully dries before you start watering again. Water once a week in the warm season and limit to the minimum during the dormant period (try wetting the soil a little periodically).

To maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal, you should cut off the tips of the leaves if they have begun to dry out. You need to do this very carefully.

Use a small amount of the common-purpose fertilizer monthly while the plant is actively growing.

Sansevieria is undemanding to light. You can either place it away from windows or choose a well-lit location.

Give preference to soil with a slightly acidic or neutral reaction and a neutral level of acidity. Buy a ready-made succulent potting mix, or use two parts soddy and one part leafy soil, and then add another part sand.

It is best to start the propagation of the flower in the spring. The easiest way is by leaf-cutting using a sharp knife.

The comfortable temperature of the environment for growing this plant is 50-77 °F (10-25 °C) in summer and 50-59 °F (10-15 °C) in winter. At a temperature of 41 °F (5 °C), it may die.

Use a shallow, thick-walled ceramic pot for planting. Note that a container that is too large will enhance leaf and root growth at the expense of flowering.

In many countries, it is believed that sansevieria has a mystical ability to neutralize the negative atmosphere and is also added to healing potions.
