Watering frequency of Sansevieria, other precautions for watering

1. Watering frequency

1. Spring and Autumn: The climate environment is different in different seasons, so the frequency of watering is also different. There is no fixed number of days to water. Sansevieria is a drought-resistant plant that does not require much water. Spring and autumn are the growing seasons, so you need to keep up with watering, and you can water it once a week.

2. Summer: Water evaporates faster in summer, so watering should be more frequent, and you can water twice a week. Although evaporation is fast in summer, you cannot water too much, otherwise the leaves will turn white and the roots will accumulate water and rot. In addition to normal root watering, you can also spray a little water on the leaves to replenish moisture and make the leaves fresh and vibrant.

3. Winter: The growth rate in winter is relatively slow and the water requirement is significantly reduced. At this time, you need to control watering and never water too much. You can water it every 10-15 days and try to keep it dry. You can judge whether to water the plant based on the dryness of the soil in the pot, and wait until the soil is dry before watering. Also, be careful not to let the water temperature get too cold to prevent the roots from freezing.

2. Precautions

When watering the snake plant, you should water it along the edge of the pot. Be gentle and avoid watering the center of the leaves, otherwise it will cause the leaves to rot.
