Family

Asphodelaceae

Native

West Africa

Description

Sansevieria Lilliput is aptly named, a super cute compact version of its larger snake plant siblings 'Black Coral' with elegantly curved foliage.

It is an evergreen perennial plant forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping rhizome, which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green wavy bands.

Environment

It prefers bright light with some sun. They can adapt to full sun.

A loose, well-drained potting mix.Sandier soil is good for them.

Let the soil dry between waterings. During winter, reduce watering to twice a month, or whenever the soil is dry to the touch. The biggest danger is over watering, especially in the winter.

Feed a mild cactus fertilizer during the growing season; do not fertilizer in the winter.

Landscape Uses

It is now used predominantly as an ornamental plant, outdoors in warmer climates, and indoors as a houseplant in cooler climates.
