Care Tips:

Light: Snake Plant La Rubia thrives in indirect sunlight but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the leaves.

Watering: These plants prefer to dry out between waterings. Water them sparingly, allowing the soil to almost completely dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably a succulent or cactus mix, to prevent waterlogged soil.
Temperature: Snake plants are adaptable to various temperature ranges but prefer temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Avoid exposing them to extreme cold or drafts.

Humidity: They can tolerate low humidity levels, making them suitable for indoor environments with dry air.

Potting: Repot the plant when it outgrows its container, typically every 2-3 years. Choose a pot that's slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes.

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months.

Pest Control:
Sansevierias are relatively pest-resistant, but they can occasionally attract spider mites, mealybugs, or aphids.

Inspect the plant regularly for signs of pests, such as webbing, sticky residue, or distorted leaves. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
