Sansevieria Black Gold - Snake Plant

This snake plant thrives in a wide range of light conditions, from low light corners to bright, indirect sunlight. For best color contrast and vibrant growth, place it in medium to bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning or late afternoon sun but should be shielded from intense midday rays.

Sansevierias prefer a “less is more” watering approach. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, typically every 2–3 weeks depending on your environment. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems, so always ensure the pot has drainage holes and never let the plant sit in water. During winter, reduce watering even further as the plant’s growth slows.

Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm conditions (65–85°F / 18–29°C) and average household humidity. Tolerates dry indoor air very well. Potting Medium: Use a sandy, well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot. Fertilizing: Feed lightly once a month in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. No fertilizer is needed in fall and winter. Maintenance: Practically care-free—wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them glossy. Growth Habit: A slow-growing upright plant that fits perfectly in narrow spaces, corners, or as a tall accent piece.
