Sansevieria 'Tessera-vireo' care

Sansevieria 'Tessera-vireo' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a vining spreader within its first year.

It does best in bright light with no direct midday sun, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

Aim for occasional misting in dry rooms and use rich, moisture-retentive mix — roots here want air as much as water. It is mildly irritating to pets if chewed, so shelve it accordingly.
