Sansevieria (also known as Mother-in-Law Tongue or Snake Plant) from Africa.
Soil: LOVE well-draining soil. Avoid compact soil. Use cactus/succulent soil (it’s a mix of sand and soil) and most garden stores.
Repotting: The terracotta works best because it allows the dirt to “breathe” so the moisture isn’t trapped inside. Terra cotta pots help with avoiding root rot as well.
Light: Sansevieria can handle diverse lighting situations. Grows better in bright light (near a window in your home), but it can handle a darker corner in your home as well.
Test for watering: Stick your finger in the soil about 3-4 inches to see if the soil is completely dry.
Water: Just water the first 6 inches of soil.
Leaves: Keep their leaves dry. Pour water on the soil.
Dusting: This will help the sun hit the plant and not block photosynthesis from taking place.
