Mandy prefers her soil on the drier side, so only water her when the soil feels completely dry.
Like other snake plants, as long as she gets some natural light, Mandy is happy in most light conditions.
Keep Mandy’s striped leaves free from dust by giving them a gentle wipe with a clean cloth every now and then.

With the official name of sansevieria tough lady, you know this plant will survive pretty much anything. Its striped leaves grow out from a central point, so it looks a bit like the top of a pineapple.
For the most part, this plant prefers to just be left alone. Forgot to water it? No problem. Left it in a shady spot? That’s ok. It’s very low maintenance, although it will grow quicker in a sunny spot and if you give it a monthly dose of diluted liquid fertiliser in spring and summer. If you’re looking for an easy plant to get you going, a sansevieria ‘tough lady’ is the perfect place to start.

When the temperature cools at night, a snake plant’s pores open, releasing all the oxygen it’s been holding in.
