Description
Sansevieria ‘Black Star’ (also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, Bird’s Nest Sansevieria, or Dwarf Snake Plant) is a stunning and compact houseplant that thrives indoors. This variety features striking dark green leaves bordered by vibrant yellow edges, making it a perfect decorative addition to your home or office. Staying relatively short throughout its life, it’s an ideal choice for small spaces or tabletop displays.
Renowned for its resilience, the Sansevieria Hahnii ‘Black Star’ is one of the toughest houseplants you can own. Beyond its beauty, it’s also a powerhouse for air purification, releasing oxygen at night and absorbing carbon dioxide. This unique trait, highlighted in a NASA study, makes it a great companion for bedrooms or living areas.
Care Tips:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions, making it adaptable to various indoor environments.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so err on the side of caution.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally designed for succulents or cacti.
- Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Keep it away from drafts and freezing temperatures.
- Humidity: Does well in average indoor humidity levels; no special adjustments are needed.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced houseplant fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) once a month.
This low-maintenance beauty is perfect for beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts alike, offering effortless charm and a boost to your indoor air quality.
