Product description
Sansevieria Tough Lady is another well-regarded member of the Sansevieria genus, with this plant in particular showing off a spikey look as opposed to the more upright Sansevieria plants. The foliage forms upwards and spreads out into a sharp spike at the end of each leaf, which are filled with dark and light shades of green. This plant can be placed indoors in bright, indirect light and cope well, with watering only necessary when the top soil is dry to touch. This should be done up to twice a month for most of the year, then reduced to just once in Wintertime.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Sansevieria is a low-maintenance plant that purifies indoor air. To keep its foliage looking its best, wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust. Rotate the plant every few weeks to promote even growth. Avoid over-fertilising; feeding with a half-strength cactus fertiliser once every two months during spring and summer is sufficient.
How to Water
Sansevieria thrives with infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. During the growing season, water every two to three weeks, reducing frequency further in the winter. Avoid getting water into the centre of the rosette, as this can lead to rot. Always use room-temperature water and ensure excess water drains away.
How to Plant
To plant Sansevieria, use a container with drainage holes and fill it with a free-draining potting mix, such as one designed for cacti or succulents. Place the root ball into the soil so that the base of the leaves sits above the soil line. Gently firm the soil around the roots, ensuring the plant is stable but not buried too deeply. Position the pot in a location with bright, indirect light, but it can also tolerate low-light areas.
