When is the best time to split up a mother-in-law's tongue plant?


Our Advice:

The best time to divide Sanseveria is in the spring as new growth starts. Repot the splits into small pots of John Innes No 1 as this compost is heavier than loamless composts and will help keep the plants more stable as the new leaves increase in number and height.
