Know More About Sansevieria Canaliculata
The snake plant, sansevieria canaliculata, is a small species native to Madagascar. These plants, like the full-size species, have long, round leaves with 5-6 channels that resemble S. erythraeae. S. has leaves. Sansevieria canaliculata, on the other hand, is a pale green in comparison to the darker S. erythraeae, which is native to the Ethiopian region. These plants are offsets that have been rooted in one-gallon pots.
More About The Looks
Sansevieria canaliculata is stemless succulent with cylindrical leaves that grows from underground rhizomes. The leaves are single or two at a time, erect or slightly bent, pale to dark green, up to 90 cm long and 2 cm wide, with five to six shallow longitudinal grooves and rounded rib-like intervals between them. The inflorescence is simple and spike-like, with a length of up to 16 cm. The flowers are long, tubular, white, and have a slight green tint to them.
How To Grow
You know all sansevierias varieties are easy to care and their remarkable is ‘low-maintenance’ houseplant. So, sansevieria canaliculata will be the best houseplant for you! Here are the factors:
Light
Place sansevieria canaliculata in bright light. It prefers strong, filtered light and can withstand a lot of direct sunlight. A good spot would be in front of a north-facing window or in front of a bright, sunny window that is covered by a sheer curtain. Although the plant can tolerate low light, bright light enhances the colors in the leaves. Intense light, on the other hand, may cause the edges of the leaves to turn yellow.
Soil And Watering
Allow the soil to dry completely before watering, and then water deeply until the drainage hole is filled. Allow the pot to drain completely before discarding the water in the saucer. Never let the soil become wet, and never submerge the pot in water. Throughout the winter, water sparingly. Sansevieria, like most succulent plants that store water in their leaves, rots quickly in wet soil.
Temperature Balance
Sansevieria canaliculata enjoys room temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (18 and 24 degrees Celsius). It can withstand temperature changes, but not below 55 degrees Fahrenheit or 13 degrees Celsius. Protect the plant from drafts and cold temperatures, as it will be harmed if the temperature falls below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius).
Feeding
During the summer, feed the plant once every three weeks. Dilute a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer to one-half of the strength recommended on the container. Sansevieria is a low-fertilizer plant, and too much fertilizer will cause the leaves to fall over.
Propagate
It’s easy to propagate sansevieria canaliculata by separating up overgrown leaf clumps. When the leaves are six inches long, use a sharp blade or knife to separate clusters of leaves from the rootstock. The majority of clusters will have roots attached and can be planted directly in regular potting soil. Leaf cuttings can also be used to propagate the plant.
Repotting
Only re-pot sansevieria canaliculata in the spring when it becomes overcrowded and needs to be divided.
Avoid Pests And Diseases
You should know about pests or bugs may diseases your sansevieria canaliculata. Mealybug and spider mite infestations are common on snake plants. These pests feed on the plant’s sap, weakening it and producing tiny lesions and leaf loss. Plants that are heavily infested should be discarded since pest control will take a long time and you risk infecting other plants.
Sum Up
Madagascar is home to this unusual sansevieria. These plants can withstand a wide range of illumination conditions. Because they can resist low light better than most plants, they are frequently kept indoors in the darker portions of the house. Don’t be scared to expose it to more light. So, since it’s hard to find, if you have one just do propagating! Happy gardening.
