-
Spacing: Space each seed or seedling about 6 to 8 inches apart to allow for optimal growth and air circulation.

Watering: Gently water the soil after sowing, keeping it moist but not soaking wet. Sansevieria plants are drought-tolerant once established, so avoid overwatering.

Germination Temperature: The ideal temperature for seed germination is between 70-85°F (21-29°C). Germination typically takes 2 to 3 weeks.
-
Sunlight: Place the seeds in a location that receives indirect sunlight. As the plants grow, they will thrive in bright, indirect light.
-
Transplanting: When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden, ensuring a well-drained, sunny spot.
Care Tips:
-
Fertilizing: Feed the plants with a balanced fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth.
-
Pruning: Regularly remove any damaged or dead leaves to keep the plant looking its best.
