Sansevierias

These beauties are well known by a variety of names; Sansevieria being their official, botanical name. Common names are Snake Plant, Mother-in-Law’s Tongue and Viper’s Bowstring Hemp. Our Sansevierias are available all year. Sansevierias will happily grow in a bright area of full sun, but tolerate partial light conditions indoors. They are reliable and easy to care for – making them the perfect low maintenance houseplant.

	14°C – 22°C
	Thrives somewhere bright and sunny
	Let the soil dry out in between watering to prevent it from becoming to soggy
	During Spring and Summer months feed once a month
TOP TIP	The Sansevieria prefers a dry environment, so there’s no need to mist these plants

Calatheas

The leaves on these beautiful botanicals can be pin-striped, rose painted or peacock patterned. The underside of the leaves are pretty stunning too, so we’d recommend placing it somewhere where you can get a glimpse of both.

Also known as the prayer plant, the leaves on these houseplants close up at night and open up again in the morning, just like praying hands.

Originating in South America, the Calathea spent much of its life under the dense jungles, which is why it likes the shade rather than direct sunlight.

	16°C – 22°C
	Place in a well lit spot that receives indirect sunlight
	Water at least once a week to keep the soil nice and moist – consistency is key!
	During Spring and Summer months feed once a month
TOP TIP	Lower dry leaves are common and these can be trimmed close to the stem to encourage new growth

They have long been known for their air-purifying qualities and ability to reduce indoor air pollution.
