Sweetening the plants eye candy appeal, the foliage exhibits subtle twists and turns. This waviness is another twist in the plants ability to visually play off other artistic or decorative elements in your home. As houseplants, sansevieria handle lower light environments better than most succulents and many other houseplants, yet their sweet spot is in a space receiving bright to moderately bright, indirect light.
You can also grow sansevierias outside in sun to shade as long as temperatures are mostly on the mild to warm side. Grows to around 18 high and wide. Provide a well-draining soil mix designed for succulents.
Only water when the soil is thoroughly dry. Less water in winter. Rots easily if overwatered.
Protect from frost.
