-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma and some TerraAranea. Can be used in some TerraSahara enclosures. 

Soil Depth: All soil depths with proper drainage.

Lighting: All light levels.  One of the few plants that does not need a special grow light in order to photosynthesize when natural sunlight is lacking.

Humidity & Misting: 40%-90% preferred. It can tolerate less than 40% as long as it is periodically watered. Allow soil to dry out between waterings. 

Mature Plant Size & Root System: This is a taller type of sansevieria, and can grow up to several feet over time, but can be periodically pruned back. Root system will burrow deep for anchorage but is not invasive, and can spread via underground rhizomes.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: High temperature tolerance. This dark-leaved sansevieria is GREAT for low light setups, but can also take high light in certain circumstances.

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-toxic if consumed, though these are typically used for ornamental, not edible, purposes.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" potted sansevieria plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
