Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii' Care Guide

Light:
Sansevieria 'Laurentii' thrives in bright, indirect light but is highly adaptable and can tolerate low-light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water:
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially in the winter months, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Aim to water every 2-3 weeks, adjusting based on humidity and temperature.

Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for cacti or succulents. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging.

Temperature and Humidity:
Prefers temperatures between 15°C and 27°C. Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. Average household humidity is sufficient.

Feeding:
Feed with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilising in autumn and winter.

Repotting:
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.

Pruning:
Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves at the base with clean scissors to maintain appearance and plant health.

Common Problems:

  • Overwatering: Yellowing leaves, mushy roots.

  • Underwatering: Wrinkled, curling leaves.

  • Pests: Watch for spider mites and mealybugs; treat promptly if detected.
