    Simply, water when the soil gets dry. An estimated watering schedule includes watering once a week in summer.

  • Fertilizer

    The growth frequency and health of foliage depend upon the availability of essential nutrients. Sprinkle some slow-release fertilizer thrice a year, in the soil, away from the base. Make sure you use a good quality fertilizer. As salts in cheap fertilizers tend to accumulate in the soil to form crystals.

  • Temperature

    Sansevieria prefers warm conditions and will suffer if exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Set the plant in a place where it will be protected from drafts. A temperature range between 70 and 90 degrees is best.

    Toxicity and Air-Purification Just like other Sensevierias, the kirkii Coppertone is highly toxic. Ingestion leads to stomach issues like diarrhoea, vomiting and nausea. Thus, keep your pets and kids at a bay from these plants. MUST HAVE! Super stiff, shimmery, copper and deep bronze, mottled leaves with wavy edged margins reach 2 to 3 feet at maturity and grow in an open rosette. Commonly grown as office plants, it is one of those plants that can survive under periods of extreme neglect.
