How to Care for the Plant

Water
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.
