How to make Sansevieria robust?
01. Do not expose to too much sunlight
Sansevieria enjoys sunlight but is afraid of strong summer sunlight. If the sunlight is too strong, Sansevieria's leaves can easily get sunburned and the color will turn white, giving the impression of weak vitality. To make Sansevieria strong during the summer, it needs to be properly shaded when the sunlight is too strong.
When the summer sunlight is too strong, we can keep Sansevieria in a place with scattered light, such as setting up a sunshade net, or keeping it in an area indoors where the sunlight is not too strong. This prevents the leaves from getting sunburned.
Keeping Sansevieria at home can be done on a balcony, as long as it's not the south-facing balcony where the sunlight is strongest. However, it should not be kept on the north-facing balcony either, as this can be too severe for the plant's growth, leading to leggy growth and a fragile beauty.

During the high summer temperatures, especially when indoor ventilation is poor, the Sansevieria we keep can easily become too hot and humid. In such conditions, Sansevieria is prone to diseases and pests, such as scale insects and black rot.
When growing Sansevieria in high summer temperatures, good ventilation management is necessary, especially for Sansevieria kept indoors. It is important to frequently open windows for ventilation or keep indoor doors open to allow better air circulation.

Sansevieria also grows in the summer, so it needs to be watered appropriately. When watering Sansevieria, the soil should be allowed to dry a bit before thoroughly watering it, avoiding too much waterlogging in the pot to prevent root rot.
To determine if the soil of Sansevieria is dry, you can insert a bamboo skewer into the pot. If the top 1/3 of the soil is dry, it's time to water thoroughly. You can also use your fingers to part the soil in the pot; if two knuckles' worth of soil is dry, it's time to water thoroughly.
Watering Sansevieria should be done in the morning or evening, never in the hot midday sun to prevent the roots from getting闷 (stifled) due to high temperatures.
「2」Apply a dilute liquid fertilizer
Sansevieria can continue to grow in the summer without a distinct dormant period. Therefore, during the growing season in the summer, it is also necessary to fertilize appropriately. Otherwise, the soil lacks nutrients, and Sansevieria will not easily become plump.
