Sansevieria grandis

Sansevieria grandis has long, green leaves with lighter or darker vertical stripes, which can vary in shades of green and gray-green. The leaves are erect, wide, and flattened, with slightly wavy edges and a waxy texture. The plant can grow up to heights of 90-120 cm, developing slowly and forming compact groups of leaves.

Care

• Light: Prefers bright places but also adapts to partial shade. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, so it is advisable to place it near a window with east or west exposure.

• Watering: Sansevieria grandis requires little water, being a succulent plant. The soil must dry completely between waterings. In warm periods, watering is done once every 1-2 weeks, and during winter, watering is significantly reduced, once a month being sufficient.

• Temperature: Develops well at temperatures between 18°C and 27°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 10°C, as it can be harmful.

• Humidity: Does not require high humidity. Normal indoor humidity conditions are sufficient for healthy growth.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, porous soil. A mix for cacti or succulents is ideal.

• Fertilization: Fertilization is not frequently necessary. Apply a diluted fertilizer for succulents once a month during the active growth period (spring-summer).

• Repotting: It is done when the roots become too crowded in the pot. It is recommended to do it at the beginning of spring.

• Common issues: Overwatering is the most frequent problem, which can lead to root rot.
