The right fertilizer

During the growing season, in spring and summer, we recommend fertilizing your Sansevieria Samurai every 60 days with a balanced liquid fertilizer. This will help the plant maintain its vitality and beauty.

The pot and soil

Use well-draining potting soil made of sand, perlite, and peat to ensure the best possible drainage. This will help prevent root rot, which can occur from excess water.

How to propagate it

Sansevieria Samurai can be propagated by division or leaf cuttings. Propagation by leaf cuttings can take time, but with patience and the right conditions, you will obtain new plants to admire.
