Since these cylindrical Sansevierias thrive in almost any light conditions (looking their best in direct sun or very high light), their watering will reflect where they land on that spectrum. In direct sun they don't need to go bone dry, and will grow better if they are allowed to go mostly dry, but not bone dry. When pushed into lower light, they'll want water less often. In moderate to low light they absolutely need to go bone dry between watering. Shriveling of the leaves (particularly lower old ones) lets you know the plant has been underwatered. Soggy or slimy lower leaves lets you know the plant has been overwatered and you are risking root rot, if it isn't already present. | |

Notas de cultivo
Most Sansevierias, like this one, are stoloniferous, meaning that they spread by thick underground (or sometimes above ground) shoots called stolons. It's very easy to propagate your sansevieria by finding a growth point and following the fleshy stolon back to the previous leaf. You can cut it there and replant the stolon, with roots and all. Above ground stolons can be removed and planted once you see roots coming down from the stolons.
Interés especial
Occasionally Sansevierias bloom with delicate waxy flowers that have a strong pleasing scent.
