Soil: Use well-draining soil, such as cactus or succulent mix. Add perlite or sand to further improve drainage.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, preferably in spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger to encourage root growth and give the plant room to thrive.
4. Recognizing Signs of Flowering
Sansevieria doesn’t flower often, but when it does, it sends up tall, slender stalks with small, whitish or greenish blooms. Watch for these signs:

Rapid growth, especially in warm, bright conditions.
A thin floral stem appearing from the center of the rosette.

Air Purification: Sansevieria is known for its ability to filter toxins from the air, improving indoor air quality.
