🌿 Care Instructions for Sansevieria Fernwood
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, but also tolerates low-light conditions. Avoid direct harsh sunlight as it may scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the main cause of root rot. In winter, reduce watering further.
Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. A cactus or succulent potting mix works best.
Temperature: Prefers 18–30°C; protect from frost and extreme cold.
Humidity: Adapts to normal indoor humidity; does not require misting.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring–summer). No fertilizer needed in winter.
Potting & Repotting: Repot only when roots outgrow the pot, usually every 2–3 years.
Toxicity: Slightly toxic to pets if ingested (can cause nausea, vomiting). Keep away from cats and dogs.
