There is no more beautiful home decoration than flowering plants. Flowers attract attention with their appearance and sometimes even their smell. This is also the case with sansevieria. However, we must create appropriate conditions for its flowering. You need to stress this specimen out a bit.
Sansevieria can produce delicate tubular flowers that gather in paniculate inflorescences.. They look like small lilies. They come in white, cream, greenish or light pink. This depends on the plant variety.
The flowers also have a sweetish scent reminiscent of vanilla. We feel it most in the evening. Buds grow from leafless flower shoots. They break through the stiff leaves.
Remember that all parts of sansevieria are poisonous to humans and animals. We’re also talking about flowers.
Any Sansevieria can bloom, both the popular Guinean one and the cylindrical one. This does not happen often because specific conditions need to be created for the specimen.

Mature sansevierias may bloom once every few years, most often in spring. However, it may happen that they will start to produce flowers in the summer. Flowering lasts about a month.
Succulents are plants that do not require much attention. If we want them to bloom, we should limit their care to a minimum. So what should you do?
First of all, you need to reduce the frequency of watering. Water the Sansevieria only when the soil in the pot is completely dry.
Do not repot the plant for 2-3 years. Its roots must be stuffed into a pot. Let’s immediately move it to a position with diffused sunlight.
When it comes to fertilization, we only do it 3-4 times from spring to autumn. Let’s feed the specimen with fertilizer intended for cacti and succulents or .
If the sansevieria blooms when exposed to environmental stress, we must remember that over time its flowers will wither and fall anyway. Then it will require nourishment. So how to take care of it?
Above all you should cut off the withered flower stalk right at the base. At this time, the specimen is not suitable for transplanting. We need to water it regularly, every 2-3 weeks, and fertilize it more often, once a month.
We also recommend loosening the roots of Sansevieria using a stick or fork. However, we must be careful not to damage them.
