Sansevieria 'Cleopatra' is a cross between S. Rhodesiana / S. Pearson and S. 'Phupramorn Delight'. It is well known for having lush, thick leaves that form a beautiful rosette pattern. It is a great decorative plant that looks great practically anywhere. You can use it as an accent to bring some contrast and sharpness to a group of plants or as a stand-alone piece.
<b>Type of soils</b><br> Loamy or well-drained soils<br> <b>Type of Fertilizer</b><br> Balanced plant fertilizer (NPK 14-14-14)<br> <b>Development Trend Moderate</b><br> Repotting:Repot every 1-2 years<br> Propagation:Transmission Divide the subterranean plant stem, or rhizome, and transplant the plantlets into new pots.<br><br> <b>Process</b><br> 1. The dimensions of the pot, the kind of soil it is planted in, the growing environment, and the atmosphere in your house.<br> 2. To allow extra water to easily drain out of the pot, make sure the container it is planted in has at least one drainage hole. this keeps water from accumulating at the bottom, which could cause root rot.<br> 3.Well-drained, loose potting mix. It can also grow readily in a soilless medium.<br> 4.During the growing season, use a light cactus fertilizer; in the winter, skip the fertilizer.
Sansevieria species are thought to be effective air purifiers because they eliminate airborne pollutants like formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene. At night, the plant also converts CO2 to oxygen.
Dos
Light: Sansevieria may grow in nearly every type of light. Will withstand dim light as well as bright light and full sun. It's a great option for dimly lit environments.<br> Water: During the growing season, let the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil dry out in between waterings. Water the soil just enough in the winter to keep it from drying up. Too much watering will rot the roots. The core of the rosette of leaves will decay quickly if left moist, so be careful not to water it.<br> Humidity: Use a spray bottle to mist the leaves multiple times a week. During the summer growing season, mist your plant more often; the more water you can provide the flowers, the healthier they will be.
Don'ts
Root rot is often caused by overwatering. Look out for spider mites and mealybugs.
