Sansevieria Golden Flame

Description

Key Features:

1. Appearance: Sansevieria ‘Golden Flame’ is characterized by its rosette-shaped, variegated leaves. The leaves are short and stiff, growing in a dense cluster from a central point. They typically feature a mix of yellow and green colors, with a mottled or striped pattern that gives it a striking appearance.
2. Size: This variety is relatively small, usually growing to about 6-8 inches tall and wide, making it ideal for small spaces or as a tabletop plant.
3. Growth Habit: It forms a compact clump of leaves emerging from a rhizomatous root system. Over time, it can produce offsets or pups around the base, gradually increasing its size and density.
4. Light Requirements: Sansevieria ‘Golden Flame’ thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
5. Watering: It prefers to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out partially before watering again. Sansevierias are drought-tolerant and are more susceptible to overwatering than underwatering.
6. Temperature and Humidity: This plant adapts well to normal room temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). It can tolerate average indoor humidity levels but benefits from occasional misting in dry environments.
7. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for succulents or cacti. A mix that includes perlite or sand helps ensure good drainage and prevents waterlogged conditions.
8. Fertilizing: Feed sparingly with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or eliminate fertilization in fall and winter when growth slows down.
