One of the hardiest plants out there is sansevieria<\/strong>, better known as mother-in-law’s tongue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a succulent plant<\/strong>, much loved as a houseplant<\/strong>. It needs very little care and usually lives for many years, giving our home a touch of elegance<\/strong> thanks to the elongated shape of its leaves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, as hardy as it is, this plant needs some precautions, especially in the hot months<\/strong>. These are simple actions, but necessary to keep<\/strong> our mother-in-law’s tongue green and healthy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning<\/strong>: If you have particular problems with this plant, always contact your trusted florist or gardener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Internal or external?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If sansevieria<\/strong> is traditionally considered a houseplant<\/strong>, it is also true that in summer it can be kept on the balcony<\/strong> or in the garden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mother-in-law’s tongue<\/strong>, in fact, in the cold months<\/strong> should be kept at a temperature of no less than 10 \u00b0C<\/strong>. In summer<\/strong>, it also tolerates very high temperatures<\/strong>, being able to stay outside without problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch out <\/strong>for summer storms<\/strong>, though : if it rains, bring this plant indoors or protect it. Too much water could kill it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High temperatures? Water more!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In summer, high temperatures<\/strong> can weaken your plants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being a tropical plant<\/strong>, sansevieria<\/strong> needs more water in hot weather. Ideally, it should be watered at least once a week<\/strong> or every two weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret<\/strong> is to check the soil<\/strong>: when it seems too dry<\/strong>, it’s time to water<\/strong> your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NB:<\/strong> Obviously, the longer you keep the plant in a sunny<\/strong>, warm<\/strong> location , the more the soil will tend to dry out quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beware of direct light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you keep this plant outside<\/strong>, choose carefully where to place it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although she loves light very much <\/strong>, the mother-in-law’s tongue does not tolerate direct sunlight for long <\/strong><\/strong>. These, in fact, especially in the hottest months, can burn the leaves<\/strong> of this plant causing premature death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you notice yellowish-brown <\/strong>spots on<\/strong> the leaves, the cause may be precisely excessive direct exposure<\/strong> to sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you should place this plant in a sunny location<\/strong>, but where direct light doesn’t reach more than a couple of hours a day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parasites? No thanks!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The thick leaves<\/strong> of sansevieria<\/strong> are very resistant to insect<\/strong> and pest<\/strong> attacks .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when it is hot, it can happen that the plant is affected by some infestations<\/strong>, especially if it is kept near other plants in the garden<\/strong> or on the balcony<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not uncommon for the plant to be attacked by mealybug: a parasite resembling a small red spider mite that gives off a substance resembling a white powder (in fact, it is known as mealybug or mealybug).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, in sansevieria<\/strong>, this parasite manifests itself with brown spots that appear on the underside of the leaves<\/strong> <\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting rid of it is not difficult. You can try white alcohol vinegar<\/strong>: dilute 150ml<\/strong> in a litre of water<\/strong> and spray it on the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, run it directly over the leaves with the help of a small brush<\/strong> or cotton ball<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replant? That depends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mother-in-law’s tongue transplant should normally be done in early spring<\/strong>, but not every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, this should be done every 3 years<\/strong> when, usually, the roots<\/strong> start to “get tight” in the pot and the soil<\/strong> has already depleted all the nutrients it had to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a larger<\/strong> pot<\/strong> for this plant and transplant, being careful<\/strong> not to break the roots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fertilize Regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Actually, fertilization<\/strong> is not mandatory for this plant which, even without fertilizers<\/strong>, can easily survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you want a sansevieria<\/strong> that will grow and keep its leaves healthy, you need to choose the right fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nitrogen<\/strong> and potassium-based<\/strong> fertilizers are very suitable – often, for this plant, liquid fertilizers<\/strong> are chosen to mix with the water used for irrigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many wonder, then, how often to fertilize. It depends on the type and indications of the individual fertilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, in the summer period<\/strong>, it is necessary to pay every 3 weeks<\/strong>. Then, in the cold months<\/strong>, fertilization<\/strong> should be discontinued <\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
