How to care for a Sansevieria bacularis
Watering Sansevieria bacularis
Sansevieria bacularis prefers dry soil and is sensitive to overwatering. Water approximately every two to three weeks in spring and summer, and even less in autumn and winter. Ensure excess water can drain well, for example, through hydroponic clays or a well-draining potting soil such as our potting soil for aroids . This prevents root rot and yellow leaves.
Light for Sansevieria bacularis
Sansevieria bacularis thrives in bright, indirect light, but can also thrive in a slightly shady spot. Place the plant near a window, for example, but out of direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. This tolerant plant is ideal for areas that sometimes get a bit less light, such as offices or corners with filtered garden light.

Common problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves often indicate overwatering or inadequate drainage. Check the potting mix and remove excess moisture, or repot in fresh, airy potting mix. If root rot is the cause, read our guide "What to do about root rot?" for step-by-step advice.
Plant leaking moisture
If your plant is dripping, it could be moisture exuded by the leaves due to stress or extreme humidity. Reduce watering and increase air circulation. Sometimes installing a dehumidifier or avoiding tight, warm corners helps.
Pests
Sansevieria bacularis is generally resistant, but spider mites, thrips, or mealybugs can occur in dry conditions. Treat pests promptly with sticky traps for fungus gnats or a plant spray with insect repellent. Regularly cleaning the leaves with a plant sprayer keeps the plants healthy.
Carrots emerge from the bottom of the pot
When the roots grow out from the bottom of the pot, it's time to repot. Choose a pot one size larger and use potting soil suitable for succulents or aroids. Repotting stimulates growth and keeps the plant healthy.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown leaf edges are often caused by dehydration or insufficient humidity. Mist the plant lightly with a fine-tipped sprayer or place a bowl of water nearby. Adjust watering and avoid sudden temperature fluctuations.
