Originally, Sansevieria plants are native to the tropical regions of West Africa, especially from Nigeria to Congo.

Sansevieria, also known as Mother-in-law’s Tongue, thrives in locations with partial shade or direct sunlight. This hardy plant prefers to be watered every 8-10 days, making sure the soil dries out between waterings. The ideal soil type for Sansevieria is a well-draining, sandy soil mix, which prevents root rot by avoiding excess moisture. For optimal growth, fertilize every 3-4 weeks during the growing season, usually spring through fall, with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant. Regular care and the right conditions will keep your Sansevieria healthy and vibrant.
