How to fertilize Jaboa Sansevieria
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Jaboa Sansevieria after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My snake plant is growing an arm. At first I thought, maybe it could be a flower? A few months later, BAM! It has a long tentacle with very sharp tips! Anybody have a clue as to what is happening to my lovely Makossa? #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #HappyPlants #Sansevieria #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #sansevieriafrancisii

I have a snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) that I keep in a plastic nursery pot placed inside a woven basket, with LECA balls on top for drainage. Recently, I’ve noticed that some of the leaves are curling slightly. The plant usually lives in my bedroom where it gets indirect light, but I’ve started placing it in the corridor for 2–4 hours of brighter natural light daily. I bought the plant on 21.08.25, and it was last watered on that day. I touched the soil today and it still feels humid, not dry, so I’m unsure whether I should water it tomorrow (27.08.25) or wait longer. Does the plant look healthy overall, or should I adjust my care routine? Any tips for preventing or fixing curling leaves would be amazing! #snakeplant #Sansevieria

What type of #SnakePlant is this?? I recently bought this from Target, and it wasn’t very descriptive on the label but I’m still curious on the type of variation it is! Let me know if you’re a genius and know what type this is!!

Happy #succulentsaturday ! I got to pot a lot of my plants from my order, last night! I’m so happy with them! They all are healthy & beautiful! 1. Ruby necklace, & a new pot that my grandma got for my birthday. It’s so unique! I want to put something in the other holes, but haven’t quite figured out what yet. 2. My hybrid of some sort, not sure what kind yet. 3. Graptoveria Titubans, this was the only single I ordered, (I ordered three mystery sets) and specifically picked this one because I’ve had my eye on it for a while. I can’t wait till the variegation starts showing! 4. New frog friend I found last night, on my lamp, he watched me plant my succulents 😂🐸 pretty sure he is a tree frog, his eyes are super cool. (This isn’t the same frog I posted about a couple days ago, in my succulent arrangement pot, he moved out sadly after two days lol). 5. My boyfriend took me out to a couple plant shops today since he worked on my birthday, and got me a wishlist plant I’ve been looking for. A Moonshine Sansevieria! It also was a great deal since I got it for 10$! It’s a good size & healthy. 🪴 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #Sansevieria #repotting #Graptoveria #FrogsOfGreg #PlantLove #PlantHaul

For my first #FreshLeafFriday in a long time, I’m featuring my #Sansevieria #ZeylanicaSnakePlant siblings. Kaladin and Shallan Davar. They’re itty bitty and curled up, but they’re there! Gotta love confirmation that your plant is doing just fine, especially since the leaves trying to sprout before the repot shriveled and died!

#PlantMail #Sansevieria #SansevieriaSaturday #Peperomia #ElephantBush #PortulacariaAfraMedioPicta #RubyCascade When you have a large family, and you have to feed them, you shop where it’s most affordable, but you get WalMart cash in the process. So it’s basically like getting plants for free for momming. 😂 This is supposed to be a Robusta Black Sansevieria, but it doesn’t look as dark as it should? I dunno. The Medio Picto is PERFECT. I wanted it to be small and tiny to grow it up the way I want it to look and since they grow so slow I have the perfect pot for it 😂. And they didn’t have any 4” Ruby cascades in stock, but they did have a 2 pack of 2” pots… for almost half of what I would have spent on the 4”. So that’s cool. Also, anyone else have issues with posting where it spells a word out double but the secondsecod word isn’t quite rightriht? ⬅️⬅️ Like this? #itrunsinthefamily #MommingHardatWalMart #PlantMathisLikeGirlDinner

Happy #WhatTheSuccWednesday Eve! Yesterday was #PlantMail Monday for me. Took a chance on ordering this little Sansevieria Moonshine off of Amazon from a seller I wasn’t familiar with, but ratings were good. Arrived in good condition yesterday. Hope to get it potted up, named, and added to my oasis this weekend. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy, #SucculentSquad , #SucculentLove , #Sansevieria
