Origin:

The plant is native to tropical regions of Africa, Madagascar and South Asia, where it is found in bushes. It falls in Asparagaceae family. 

 

Light requirements: 

Sansevieria can tolerate bright and dim light and shadow environments but it also does well in brighter settings. 

Place the plant about two meters away from south and west-facing windows to provide adequate light. 

Direct sunlight can burn the leaves; just be careful to keep it away from direct sunlight as the leaves will burn in the blink of an eye.

Note that certain varieties may require more light to maintain their yellow stripes.

 

Watering: 

Sansevieria plants require minimal watering. Overwatering can cause root rot. 

Water your plant once every two weeks during winter and once a week during summer, adjusting based on the location, light, and heat in the environment.

When watering, make sure that the surface of the soil is dry.

 

Soil: 

The evergreen, perennial plant prefers heavy soil that is a mixture of gravel, sand, silt, and clay. This type of soil provides suitable conditions for growth. 

To address any nutrient deficiencies in the potting soil, it is recommended to add liquid or solid fertilizers that are soluble in water for ornamental plants. This should be done every two weeks, following the instructions provided on the fertilizer packaging.

Also, to enhance growth you can use a small amount of compost or rotted manure as fertilizer. If these options are not available, you can use fertilizers specifically designed for ornamental plants. Feed during the spring and summer seasons.

 

Humidity and Temperature: 

Normal household temperatures are generally OK. This plant is not heavily affected by humidity levels. However, higher humidity can benefit its growth. You can even keep the plant in a bathroom where the humidity is typically higher. The relative humidity is approximately 44% to 45%.

Optimal temperature goes from 55 to 85°F. Frost should be avoided.
