Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Snake Plants thrive in all light conditions. They prefer medium to bright light for optimal growth levels, although, they can tolerate lower light levels, their growth will just slow down. Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  As succulents, Sansevierias store water and are drought-tolerant. Overwatering is a common issue leading to root rot, so only water when the soil is completely dry. Water sparingly at the base, avoiding the center of the plant. Ensure good drainage and pour away excess water. Reduce watering significantly in winter.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  These plants thrive in low humidity. Avoid misting, which can cause fungal problems, and ensure good air circulation
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Sansevierias thrive in warm temperatures, ideally between 15-24°C.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed sparingly, apply a balanced liquid fertiliser once or twice during the summer. Do not feed in winter.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
  Repot every 2-3 years, or when root bound, in well-draining soil to accommodate growth and refresh nutrients.
  Remove any dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves with clean tools to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage healthier growth.
