This must be one of the easiest houseplants to grow being tough and near indestructable, yet it is still stylish, simple and loved by interior designers. Clump forming with strong, broad, sword-like grey-green leaves which are crossbanded with a darker green, Sansevieria zeylanica is the perfect plant for modern homes and busy lifestyles.
Please note that the plant comes in a 14cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.
Also, it is quite common for these plants to have small nicks or scars on their leaves. This does not affect their long-term health or vigour in any way.

Place Sansevieria in a bright room with indirect light, though it will also tolerate lower-light spaces, making it easy to position around the home. Keep it warm (though away from direct heat sources such as radiators) and away from cold draughts, and use a free-draining houseplant compost. Check that any pot cover you are using is not allowing the nursery pot inside to sit in water.

In winter, reduce watering and keep temperatures above 10°C (50°F). Repot every few years when the roots begin to outgrow the container, choosing a
