Secrets of the Sansevieria: Natural Beauty and Cleaner Air at Home 1 Watering: only twice a week, as this hardy plant stores water in its leaves and dislikes excess moisture. 2 Light: prefers bright, indirect sunlight but also adapts well to partial shade. Too much direct sun may scorch the leaves. 3 Placement: ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms, where it helps purify the air and maintain balanced humidity. 4 Soil: thrives in a sandy, well-draining mix to prevent root rot. Strong, elegant, and air-purifying, the Sansevieria adds freshness, harmony, and a touch of natural sophistication to any room. Its tall, sculptural leaves make it a perfect plant for creating a serene, healthy living space.
