Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Sansevieria Futura Robusta is straightforward, reinforcing its reputation as an easy care snake plant. To ensure your plant thrives, pay attention to its light, water, and soil requirements, which are largely forgiving.

Light: The Sansevieria Futura Robusta is incredibly adaptable when it comes to light. It will tolerate low to bright indirect light. For optimal growth and vibrant foliage, aim for medium to bright indirect light. Placing it near an east or north-facing window is often ideal. While it can handle lower light, growth may be slower. Avoid direct, intense sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as this can scorch the leaves. If moving outdoors, acclimate it gradually to prevent shock.

Water: As a succulent, the water requirements for your Sansevieria Futura Robusta are low. The most common mistake made with these plants is overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Only water when the soil is completely dry to the touch, usually every 2-4 weeks, depending on light and temperature. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot, then ensure no standing water remains in the saucer. In winter months, reduce watering frequency even further.

Soil: Good drainage is crucial for a healthy snake plant. Use a well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor potting mix amended with perlite, pumice, or coarse sand is excellent. You can also use a cactus or succulent potting mix. The soil should allow water to pass through quickly to prevent waterlogging. When repotting, choose a pot with drainage holes and avoid going up too many pot sizes at once, as they prefer to be slightly root-bound.

Temperature & Humidity: This plant is incredibly adaptable to most indoor temperatures, with an ideal range between 60-85°F (15-29°C). It can tolerate cooler and warmer fluctuations but protect it from freezing temperatures. Average household humidity is perfectly suitable; no special humidity requirements are needed for this resilient houseplant.

Fertilizer: Fertilize sparingly. During the growing season (spring and summer), you can feed your Sansevieria Futura Robusta once a month with a 1/4-strength balanced liquid fertilizer. Alternatively, a slow-release fertilizer applied in spring can provide nutrients throughout the season. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
