Sansevieria Hahnii Green Care Guide

Also known as the snake plant and mother-in-law tongue. The Snake plant is native to West Africa.

LIGHTING 

Judi can cope with all types of lighting except direct sunlight. Judi is low maintenance and will survive in low lighting but will grow faster in brighter light. Lighting-wise, Judi pairs perfectly with Foxy and Conrad.

WATERING 

Judi is a drought tolerant plant and can go many weeks without water. Make sure her soil has completely dried out before you water her again. She is ideal for frequent travellers, plant beginners and office environments where she might be forgotten about from time to time.

HUMIDITY 

Judi doesn’t need high levels of humidity to thrive. Normal household humidity will suffice.

TEMPERATURE 

Judi prefers a warmer climate but will thrive in a cooler or draughty room. Keep the temperature between 18ºC-25ºC.

FERTILISER 

Use our fortifying fertiliser once a month between the months of March-September.  Do not fertilise in the winter.

REPOTTING 

Judi is a slow grower and can spend a few years in her original nursery pot. When it’s time to repot, read our repot like a pro blog for tips on repotting successfully.

 

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR SNAKE PLANT

Soft leaves - The soft leaves could suggest Judi is ready for a drink. If it has been longer than 4-6 weeks then a small drink is recommended.

Yellow leaves/brown spots -  These are both signs of overwatering.

Make sure Judi’s soil completely dries out before watering again.

Pale leaves - Lack of sunlight can cause the leaves to pale. Place Judi in a room with at least one window.

OUR TOP 3 CARE TIPS
