This plant thrives in a wide range of lighting conditions, from low light to bright, indirect sunlight. Its adaptability allows you to place it virtually anywhere in your home.
Sansevieria Starfish prefers to dry out between waterings, so it's more resilient to underwatering than overwatering. Keep its soil relatively dry to prevent root rot.
Well-draining soil is crucial to prevent waterlogging. Opt for a potting mix designed for succulents or cacti.
Maintain indoor temperatures between 65°F to 80°F for optimal growth. It can tolerate slightly lower temperatures but should be protected from cold drafts. This plant is quite adaptable to humidity levels, and it thrives in most household conditions (about 40- 50%).
Feed your Sansevieria Starfish with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks to encourage healthy growth.
Exercise caution, as this plant contains Saponins and can be toxic if ingested. Ensure it's kept out of reach of both pets and children to prevent any potential harm.
