Sansevieria grandis D6

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

Care

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

• Watering: Sansevieria grandis needs little water, being a fleshy plant. The soil should dry out completely between waterings. During warm periods, water once every 1-2 weeks, and in winter, reduce watering significantly, once a month is sufficient.

• Temperature: Thrives 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 household humidity conditions are enough for healthy growth.

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

• Fertilizing: Frequent fertilizing is not necessary. Apply a diluted fertilizer for fleshy plants once a month during the active growing period (spring-summer).

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

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