The Story Behind This Plant

Boncel Starfish is a cultivar of Sansevieria Cylindrica, originally from West Africa. Like the rest of the Sansevieria family, it's built to survive harsh, dry conditions, which is exactly why it's so forgiving indoors.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Tolerates low light but thrives in bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning sun can deepen its green color.
  • Water: Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, usually every 2-4 weeks. When in doubt, wait longer.
  • Humidity: Not fussy about humidity, fits most indoor environments.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.

How to take care of Sansevieria Boncel Starfish

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.
