Use these tips to make a sansevieria bloom and scent the whole house

By liliaturcin5

If you have sansevieria in your home, chances are it has never flowered. This plant, known and appreciated for its incredible resistance, is one of the most difficult to make flower, but not if you apply the tips that we offer you below.

For example, putting the plant in the bathroom  will absorb excess moisture  as well as toxins found in many personal care products.

Below we suggest the  basic care that sansevieria needs  to grow healthy and strong in our homes.

1. Light

Sansevieria is resistant to virtually all lighting conditions. The optimal condition, however, is shade. Excessive sun could damage its leaves and make it less aesthetic.

Place the sansevieria near a window, exposed to indirect light.

2. Water

Water the sansevieria once a week, but don’t overdo it. Check soil moisture before watering and only water if it is dry.

Sansevieria is resistant to periods of drought, but its aesthetic appearance suffers.

3. Fertilizer

It is not necessary to fertilize sansevieria, but if you wish, you can use egg shells (rich in calcium) or water with potato peelings.

Fertilize once a month to ensure the sansevieria gets the nutrients it needs
