Tiger Pilan cultivation methods and precautions

Tiger Pira , a popular potted plant in homes, has won people's love for its upright leaves and stylish appearance. Although Sansevieria is considered to be an easy-to-care-for plant, many people will encounter problems such as root rot, weak leaves, and lack of new buds during the maintenance process. Let’s learn together about the cultivation methods and precautions of Sansevieria.

1. Avoid too deep pots and compacted soil

Tiger Piranha has a well-developed root system and requires loose and breathable soil to maintain healthy growth. Avoid using pots that are too deep and compacted soil as this will affect the growth of new shoots. When planting, do not bury the snake plant too deep to avoid affecting its breathing and light. The soil should be prepared by mixing leaf mold and river sand in a 1:1 ratio, or directly use general nutrient soil and add an appropriate amount of granular soil to increase air permeability.

2. Avoid insufficient light and cold

Tiger Piranha likes light, but is not very demanding on it. Being in a dark environment for a long time will cause the leaves to not be upright, affecting the ornamental value. Tiger Piranha is not cold-resistant and should be moved indoors in autumn and winter, and the temperature should be kept above 15 degrees to promote the growth of new buds.

3. Avoid overwatering

Tiger Piranha is drought-tolerant and does not require frequent watering. Too much water will lead to poor soil permeability and easy root rot. Generally water the plant once every half a month, and then water it when the soil is half dry.

4. Avoid not fertilizing

Tiger Piranha grows quickly and requires adequate fertilization. Long-term lack of nutrients will lead to weak growth. Increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in spring and summer to promote the development of roots and new shoots.

5. Avoid not repotting and changing the soil

Tiger Piranha needs to be repotted and the soil changed regularly to prevent soil aging and root obstruction. Generally, the soil should be replaced every 1-2 years, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer should be added.

In summary, although Sansevieria is easy to maintain, in order for it to sprout new buds every year and grow into a lush potted plant, you need to pay attention to daily management and maintenance.
