Sansevieria Gold Dust, a striking variety of the Snake Plant family, is known for its deep green, upright leaves speckled with golden-yellow variegation.

Its air-purifying qualities make it an excellent addition to homes and offices.

Sansevieria Gold Dust Care Tips:

1. Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions. It can also adapt to direct sunlight, though prolonged exposure may enhance its golden speckling.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a blend of cactus mix, perlite, and coarse sand, to prevent excess moisture retention. Avoid dense, water-retentive soils.

3. Watering:

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, as Sansevieria is drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

4. Humidity:

Thrives in average indoor humidity levels. No additional humidity adjustments are needed.

5. Temperature:

Keep in a warm environment between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

6. Fertilization:

Feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer once every 1-2 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

7. Propagation:

Easily propagated through leaf cuttings or division. Cut a healthy leaf into sections and allow the cut ends to callous before planting in dry soil.

8. Pest and Disease Resistance:

Generally resistant to pests and diseases, though mealybugs or spider mites may occasionally appear. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and inspect for pests.
