Sansevieria ‘Boncel’ commonly called the Starfish Snake Plant or African spear plant native to Angola. It is a more compact hybrid of the more common Sansevieria Cylindrica snake plant. This low maintenance plant has leaves that are fat and fan-shaped that taper to a point. It’s light green or grayish green leaves have bands of darker green. The name ‘starfish sansevieria’ comes from the fact that the plant looks like a starfish that has been planted halfway in soil.
Like most succulent species, starfish sansevieria is easy to care for indoors. All you need to do is grow the sansevieria starfish in a small pot with sandy soil, water it occasionally, and avoid putting it in direct sunlight.
LIGHT: The best location for sansevieria starfish plants is in a bright room with plenty of natural sunlight. The Snake Plant Starfish thrives with indirect sunlight in locations not overexposed to the sun. Grows well on a sunny windowsill. If they grow near a south-facing window, use a sheer curtain to protect the fleshy succulent from the sun’s direct rays.
Although sansevierias are desert plants, they also grow well in partial shade or complete shade. But it’s good to remember that the starfish plant may become leggy or lose its color if deprived of light for too long. Although sansevieria starfish aren’t fast-growing plants, their growth will slow down even more in the dark. If you notice that the starfish snake plant doesn’t grow well, place it in bright, indirect light.
WATER: Be sure not to overwater the Snake Plants as they require the bare minimum to thrive. Only water the Snake Plant Starfish when you see the soil completely dry, usually, once every few weeks and they’ll stay up and active.
Temperature: 55 - 85 degrees seem to work best with the Snake Plant Starfish. Grow in average room temperatures and fertilize monthly during the growing season.
Propagation: Young “pups” spring from the base of the plant and can be easily transplanted to propagate new plants. All you need to do is separate the pups from the mother plant and grow it in a new pot. Dividing the roots called rhizomes or leaf cutting.
Another way to propagate Sansevieria starfish is by rooting a cut leaf. You should cut off a leaf near to the base of the plant. Let the ends callus over for a few days to allow the wound to heal. Then place the cut leaf in a moist cactus soil mix. Keep the soil moist for a few weeks until the cutting develops roots.
SOIL: The best soil for starfish sansevierias is a loamy potting mix with excellent drainage. To make a potting mix, combine two parts regular potting soil, one part perlite, and one part coarse horticultural sand. An ideal potting medium is a potting mix for succulent plants. The soil should be aerated so that it dries fast, and water drains quickly.
TEMPERATURE: Starfish sansevierias grow outdoors in hot, arid climates. The good news is that average room temperatures are excellent for growing spear sansevierias indoors. An ideal temperature range is 55°F to 80°F as long as you protect the star-shaped succulent from temperature extremes.
