Sansevieria Trifasciata Superba (Snake Plant)

• Native to tropical West Africa, this hardy succulent has adapted to survive in harsh, dry conditions. Its thick, fleshy leaves store water for drought periods.
• Features distinctive upright sword-like leaves with yellow margins and dark green cross-banding patterns. Mature plants can produce fragrant white flowers on tall spikes.
• Grows slowly but steadily, producing new shoots from underground rhizomes to form attractive clumps. Each leaf can live for many years with proper care.
• Beloved by indoor plant enthusiasts for its air-purifying qualities and virtually indestructible nature. Perfect starter plant for those new to houseplant care.

• Water every 2-4 weeks during growing season, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce to monthly or less in winter.
• Place in bright, indirect light near a window but avoid harsh direct sun. Tolerates lower light conditions well.
• Use well-draining potting mix with added perlite or sand. Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
• Feed with diluted liquid fertiliser monthly during spring and summer. Skip feeding entirely during autumn and winter.
• Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base with clean, sharp scissors. No regular pruning required.
• Normal household humidity is ideal - avoid placing near humidifiers. Good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues.
• Protect from temperatures below 10°C and move indoors during Australian winter in cooler climates.

• Provide bright, indirect light but tolerates low light conditions well. Avoid direct harsh sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
• Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter months.
• Maintain moderate humidity levels - normal household humidity is perfect. Avoid misting leaves as this can encourage fungal problems.
• Keep temperatures between 15-30°C for optimal growth. Protect from cold drafts and frost in winter.
• Feed monthly during spring and summer with diluted liquid fertiliser. No feeding required during cooler months.

• Overwatering causes root rot - reduce watering frequency and ensure good drainage. Check soil is completely dry before watering again.
• Scale insects appear as small brown bumps on leaves - wipe with rubbing alcohol or insecticidal soap. Remove heavily infested leaves completely.
• Leaf yellowing indicates too much water or poor drainage - move to brighter location and reduce watering. Allow soil to dry thoroughly between waterings.
• Fungal issues develop in humid conditions - improve air circulation and avoid getting water on leaves. Remove affected foliage immediately.
