MAINTENANCE

The Sanseviere appreciates being watered when its soil is dry all the way through the pot, which could occur every 4 or 6 weeks, depending on the season and the room’s humidity level. Here is a little tip to determine if it is the case: delicately insert a thin wooden stick all the way down to the bottom of the pot. If the stick is wet or damp as you pull it out, your Sanseviere does not need a drink just yet! A sign of overwatering corresponds to leaves wilting or rotting at the base.

When you take possession of your plant, make sure you assess its watering needs. Before you give it a drink the first time, check the soil’s moisture level to verify whether or not it is moist near the surface. It is best to aerate the soil before the initial watering since it is often compacted to avoid shifting during transit. This also allows it to breathe and release moisture.

Rotate your plant periodically in order to encourage an even growth. Cleaning the leaves regularly will stimulate proper photosynthesis. As you wipe the foliage, inspect the leaves on either side to make sure there are no pests.
