Watering ☂
Sansevieria Moonshine is a drought-tolerant plant and should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to a depth of about an inch, and be sure to use a well-draining soil mix. Water the plant about once a week or as needed based on the plant's appearance and the conditions in your home. Avoid over watering to prevent root rot.
Sunlight ☼
Sansevieria Moonshine is tolerant of a wide range of lighting conditions and can thrive in both low and bright light. However, it is best to avoid direct sunlight as this can cause the leaves to fade or become scorched. It is generally considered a low-light plant, but it will also do well in medium to bright indirect light.
Temperature & Humidity ❄
Sansevieria Moonshine is a tough and adaptable plant that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. It is generally comfortable in temperatures between 55-85°F (13-29°C) and can handle brief periods of lower or higher temperatures as long as they are not extreme. As far as humidity is concerned, Sansevieria Moonshine is not particularly picky and will do well in most household humidity levels. It is more tolerant of dry air than some other houseplants, but will appreciate a little extra humidity during the winter months if the air in your home tends to be dry.
Soil Requirements ꔵ
Sansevieria Moonshine grows best in a well-draining soil mix that contains a combination of potting soil, perlite, and sand. This helps to ensure that the soil drains well and does not become waterlogged. A soil pH of 6.1-7.5 is generally considered suitable for this snake plant.
