Frequently asked questions

I don't have green fingers, is Sansevieria right for me?

Absolutely! This plant is extremely forgiving, grows slowly and requires little water.

Why are the leaves of my snake plant turning yellow?

There can be several reasons why the leaves of your Sansevieria are turning yellow:
- Too much water: overwatering can lead to root rot, causing the plant to not absorb enough nutrients and the leaves to turn yellow. Make sure the soil is well-drained and allow the plant to dry out between waterings.
- Too little water: a lack of water can also cause problems. If the plant is too dry, the leaves will dry out and turn yellow.
- Too much direct sunlight: bright sunlight can burn the leaves. This often manifests itself in yellowing or brown spots. Place the plant in a spot with indirect light or light shade.
- Nutrient deficiency: a lack of important nutrients can cause the leaves to turn yellow. Give the plant some plant food from time to time, especially during the growing season, to keep it healthy and green.

How often should I water a Sansevieria?

A Sansevieria requires very little water: usually once every 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the season and the humidity in your home. Thanks to its thick, fleshy leaves, the plant can store water and provide itself with moisture for a long time.

In summer, the plant needs a little more water, about once every 3 weeks. In winter, once every 6 weeks is sufficient. Always check the top layer of soil first: if it feels dry, it's time to water.

What is the ideal temperature for a Sansevieria?

18–24°C is the desired temperature for the snake plant.

Why isn't my snake plant growing?

If you notice that your Sansevieria is barely growing, there could be several factors at play:
- Insufficient light: although Sansevieria can tolerate shade reasonably well, it still needs light to grow. Too little natural light can slow down the growth process. Place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light for optimal growth.
- Insufficient nutrition: like other plants, snake plants need nutrients to develop properly. A lack of fertiliser can lead to slow or stunted growth. Therefore, give the plant some plant food from time to time, especially during the growing season.
- Irregular watering: both too much and too little water can inhibit growth. Overwatering can cause root rot, while too little water will cause the plant to dry out. Check the soil regularly and water when the top layer feels dry.
- Temperature problems: Sansevieria grows best at average room temperatures. Conditions that are too cold or too warm can slow growth or even cause damage. Keep the plant away from draughty windows and heat sources.

Is lady's mantle dangerous for pets?

The plant is poisonous if ingested and can cause vomiting and other unpleasant side effects. So be careful if you have pets or small children.

Why are the leaves falling off my Sansevieria?

Older leaves die off naturally. Check the water, light and temperature if healthy leaves are falling off.

Can a snake plant flower?

A Sansevieria rarely flowers. If it does, it is usually in summer in mature plants. The flowers are white or yellow and fragrant.
