🌿 Moonshine Sansevieria (Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Moonshine’) Care Guide
The Moonshine Snake Plant is a stunning, low-maintenance houseplant known for its silvery-green leaves. It’s perfect for beginners and thrives in various conditions.
✅ Light
- Bright, indirect light is best for maintaining its silvery color.
- Can tolerate low light, but leaves may darken.
- Can handle some direct morning sun, but avoid harsh afternoon sun.
💧 Watering
- Drought-tolerant—water every 2–3 weeks, allowing soil to dry completely.
- Water even less in winter (once a month or so).
- Avoid overwatering, as it leads to root rot.
🌱 Soil
- Use well-draining soil (cactus or succulent mix).
- Adding perlite or sand helps improve drainage.
- Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
- Thrives in 60–85°F (16–29°C).
- Can tolerate temperatures as low as 50°F (10°C) but not frost.
- Low humidity is fine—doesn’t need misting.
🌿 Fertilizing
- Feed with a diluted succulent fertilizer every 1–2 months in spring and summer.
- No need to fertilize in winter.
✂️ Propagation & Repotting
- Propagate by division (separating pups) or leaf cuttings.
- Repot every 2-3 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
