Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light.Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
*2. Watering
Water only when the soil is completely dry—typically every 2-3 weeks.Reduce watering during winter (once a month is often enough).Avoid overwatering, as Sansevieria is highly prone to root rot.
*3. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix.Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.Terracotta pots are best since they help wick away excess moistures
