How to grow tiger skin plant best

1. Soil suitability

If you want it to grow better, you must choose the right potting soil when planting. Use leaf mold and garden soil mixed with an appropriate amount of river sand to make the soil. This will have good drainage and sufficient nutrients, and the plant will grow more vigorously in the later stage.

2. Suitable temperature

It likes a warm environment, and the most suitable temperature for its maintenance is between 20 and 30 degrees. Pay attention to temperature control when the temperature is low, and place it in a room with a temperature of about 10 degrees to avoid frostbite. During the high temperatures in summer, you need to ventilate and water more to lower the temperature, otherwise the high temperature will also affect growth.

3. Water appropriately

It is drought-resistant, so do not water it too frequently during maintenance. It is better to keep the soil drier than too moist or even with water accumulation, which will hinder root breathing, cause root rot, and affect growth. Normally, watering twice a week is enough, and watering should be controlled in winter.

4. Adequate nutrients

Sansevieria does not require much nutrients to grow. Just apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer during the peak growing season. Note that the fertilizer must be diluted first and then the liquid fertilizer can be applied. High concentrations of fertilizer will burn the roots and be detrimental to growth.

5. Adequate sunlight

It likes light, but is afraid of strong light. Therefore, it is best to place it in a place with diffuse light during maintenance. Sufficient diffuse light is beneficial to the growth of the plant. If there is no light for a long time or the light is too strong, the leaves will turn yellow.
