Sansevieria Raffilii : Best Care Guides (2021)

Sansevieria Raffilii

Sansevieria is a Sansevieria species native to the Central African Republic and West Africa. On a single stem, up to six belt-shaped to lanceolate, leather-like leaves can be found. They’re almost standing up. They are dark green in hue with pale green transverse stripes and can grow to be 45 to 110 centimeters long. The leaf’s tip is somewhat pointed and has a white coloration as it ages. The reddish-brown leaf border is somewhat cartilaginous. Panicles of white blooms are haphazardly placed. The bloom stem can reach a height of 60 to 80 cm.


Environment

Sansevieria raffillii can survive in extreme weather. Even though it is strong, it needs an adaption towards a new environment. The plants might have been shocked by the packaging, traveling, and repotting. Leaving the plant as it is suggested would be better. To find out if the plant needs water, you need to check the soil.

Sansevieria should be watered if it is dry. It is best to leave the plant alone for a week or two so that it can adapt to the new environment and try not to add any chemicals yet.


Humidor Dry

This sturdy plant can grow in low-light areas and bright lighting conditions. There are repercussions for the situation. Under bright light, the water will be absorbed quickly, and the soil will go dry sooner. There is a chance that the sansevieria may experience leaf burn. If grown in the low light area, the snake plant will thrive, but the foliage could be different. The snake plant is perfect for room temperature and loves bright light.

The cold draft doesn’t suit the snake plant, and winter isn’t in the game. We should remove the snake plant from the window sill during the wintertime as it will be wet near the window. When there’s too much water on the plant it can be rotten. 


Season of Growth

There is a growing season for the snake plant. Do you know when? It starts from spring to summer! It’s good news if you live in a tropical country. During these seasons we can boost the growth by providing fertilizer. The plant can grow up to three feet in length! However, It depends on the kind of snake plant.

The snake plant doesn’t show any growth during the wintertime. Do not provide the snake plants with fertilizers. The plant can absorb humidity during the winter. Else, if your plant doesn’t show any new growth during the winter, you shouldn’t worry since they’re taking a rest.


Watering

There is a major issue with watering the snake plant. The snake plants should only be watered if the soil is dry. The plant might give up on us if it is neglected in an overwatering situation.

During winter, the plant can go without water for a month and a half, but during the rest of the year, it can go without for three weeks. That is great, isn’t it? It is possible to enjoy your winter holidays without worrying about your plants. The leaves of the snake plants are very absorbent. Excess water will cause the plant to take in more salt and minerals.


 Pruning

The snake plants, like all the other houseplants, require pruning to grow bushier. Pruning helps the plant lose the unrequired leaves and allows the plant to grow as desired. There could be some leaves on the snake plant that has turned brown or yellow. Some rhizome may be going in a hay-wired direction.For getting the plant to the right shape and size a good pruning is required for the snake plant.

If you have never pruned your snake plant, it might be the cause behind your snake plant’s stunted growth. We understand that it might be difficult for all to chop the plant that shows no signs of trouble. However, it is required by all the houseplants.
