Sansevieria Laurentii should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine.

Sansevieria Laurentii will do well in low light, but will grow faster with brighter light. A low light plant can pretty much survive anyplace inside your home as long as you have a window in the room.

That usually takes about 4 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months. Sansevieria Laurentii humidity requirement is low, so do not mist them or put them in a terrarium. Sansevieria Laurentii is super easy to take care of, being able to handle all kinds of light levels and is known for its air-purifying capabilities. Just make sure to not overwater them and try not to let water sit between their leaves. Some dry tips are completely normal on Snake Plants. If the leaves become dusty, wipe them down with a damp cloth to allow the plant to breathe and absorb light more effectively. Sansevieria Laurentii 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.
