Plant of the month: Sansevieria
September, 2025
The Sansevieria is the perfect plant for September. As temperatures begin to drop outside, this strong indoor plant adds character, calm, and clean air to any interior. A resilient classic that requires little but gives a lot in return.
Tough and stylish
The Sansevieria, also known as snake plant, is one of the most low-maintenance plants available. It stores water in its thick leaves, allowing it to survive dry periods effortlessly. Ideal for customers looking for convenience without sacrificing aesthetics.
Air-purifying benefits
What sets the Sansevieria apart is its air-purifying quality. NASA has listed it as one of the most effective natural air filters. Perfect for offices, living rooms, or hotel lobbies where fresh air and visual appeal go hand in hand.
Versatile varieties
From the popular Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’ with its yellow-edged leaves to the compact ‘Hahnii’, there’s always a variety that suits your customer’s interior. Combine different types for a modern, sculptural effect.
Care tips
- Light: Thrives in both (partial) shade and direct sunlight.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. In winter: once a month is enough.
- Temperature: Preferably keep above 10°C (50°F)
- Feeding: During spring and summer, feed lightly every 6–8 weeks with a general houseplant fertilizer.
- Maintenance: Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and effective at purifying air.
Note: Sansevieria is mildly toxic to pets.
Sales opportunity in September
