All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

Part of the incredibly diverse and resilient Sansevieria family, the 'Boncel Starfish' is a cultivar of the **Sansevieria Cylindrica**. Originally from West Africa, these plants are renowned for their ability to thrive in harsh conditions, making them incredibly adaptable and easygoing as houseplants. Its unique, fan-shaped growth pattern truly sets it apart, living up to its 'Starfish' name.

How to Keep It Happy

Caring for your Sansevieria Boncel 'Starfish' is wonderfully straightforward. Here are some easy tips to help it flourish:

  • **Light:** It's super adaptable! While it tolerates low light, it truly thrives in bright, indirect light. A few hours of direct morning sun can even enhance its vibrant green.
  • **Water:** This is where "thrives on neglect" truly shines! Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, usually every 2-4 weeks. When in doubt, wait a bit longer. Overwatering is its only real enemy.
  • **Humidity:** It's not fussy about humidity, making it perfect for most indoor environments.
  • **Soil:** Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for succulents or cacti.
  • **Temperature:** Keep it in average room temperatures, avoiding cold drafts.
  • **Feeding:** Rarely needed. You can give a very diluted liquid fertilizer once or twice during the spring/summer growing season if you wish, but it's not essential.
What to Do About Pests

Sansevierias are generally very pest-resistant, but it's always good to be aware.

Sun: Indirect

This plant can tolerate a wide range of light conditions, including low light. However, for optimal growth and vibrancy, provide it with moderate to bright indirect light. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even light exposure on all sides.

Light: Low

Sansevieria Boncel Starfish thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight for a few hours each day. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can scorch its leaves.

Water: When Fully dry

Sansevieria Boncel Starfish is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as soggy soil can lead to root rot.

Humidity: Low

This plant can adapt to a variety of humidity levels and does well in average indoor humidity. It doesn't require additional humidity, but misting the leaves occasionally can help keep them clean and free from dust.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Sansevieria Boncel Starfish is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Pro Tip

To encourage compact and robust growth, periodically trim any yellow or dead leaves at the base of the plant using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
