10 - 15cm Sansevieria Wendy Yellow House Plant 10,5 cm Pot

🌿 Sansevieria ‘Wendy Yellow’ — Snake Plant / Wendy Yellow

Sansevieria ‘Wendy Yellow’, also known as a Snake Plant or Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, is a vibrant and compact cultivar within the Sansevieria genus (now reclassified under Dracaena), prized for its upright, sword-shaped leaves and striking yellow margins. The ‘Wendy Yellow’ variety features rich green leaf centres edged in bold, golden-yellow variegation, forming tight rosettes with a slightly curved, architectural habit. Its neat, sculptural form makes it perfect for smaller spaces, shelves, desks, or grouped plantings, while its resilience makes it one of the easiest houseplants to care for. Native to arid regions of Africa and Asia, Sansevieria thrives on neglect, tolerates low light, dry air, and irregular watering — making it ideal for both novice plant owners and seasoned collectors looking for a bold, low-maintenance statement. It’s also highly regarded for its air-purifying properties and clean, modern look.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Indoors: Thrives in bright, indirect light but adapts well to low light conditions.

• Direct sun: Tolerates some direct sun, especially morning or late afternoon light.

• Low light: Slower growth and less vivid variegation, but will survive comfortably.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–28°C (65–82°F)

• Minimum temperature: Keep above 10°C (50°F); avoid cold draughts or frosty windowsills.

• Humidity: Tolerates all humidity levels; thrives in dry indoor air without complaint.

💧 Watering Needs

• Watering frequency: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Tip: Overwatering is the most common issue — when in doubt, wait a few more days.

• Winter: Water even less frequently, as growth slows.

🪴 Soil & Repotting

• Soil type: Use a very well-draining mix — cactus or succulent compost is ideal.

• pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0–7.0)

• Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes pot-bound. Choose a wide, shallow pot to accommodate its rhizomes.

🌱 Feeding

• Growing season (spring–summer): Feed every 6–8 weeks with a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser.

• Autumn–winter: No feeding required while dormant.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Pruning: Minimal. Remove old or damaged leaves at the base.

• Leaf care: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth to keep foliage clean and glossy.

• Growth habit: Forms tidy clumps via underground rhizomes — easy to divide if needed.

🌾 Propagation

• Division: Easiest method — divide clumps and replant in fresh compost.

• Leaf cuttings: Can be rooted in soil, though variegation may not always be retained.

🐛 Pests & Problems

• Generally pest-resistant: Occasionally susceptible to mealybugs or spider mites in very dry conditions.

• Symptoms: Soft, mushy leaves indicate overwatering or root rot.

• Treatment: Improve drainage, reduce watering, and remove affected parts.

🧤 Toxicity & Safety

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic if ingested by pets or humans. Can cause nausea or vomiting.

• Precaution: Best kept out of reach of children and pets who like to chew foliage.

🏡 Indoor Care Highlights

• A stylish and virtually indestructible plant for homes, offices, and low-maintenance interiors.

• Ideal for modern, minimalist spaces or as a bold accent in mixed plant groupings.

• Excellent for bedrooms and workspaces thanks to its air-purifying qualities.
