    Description: Sansevieria trifasciata 'Fabi', commonly known as the Snake Plant 'Fabi', is a striking and hardy succulent known for its upright, sword-shaped leaves with distinctive dark green and light green variegation. The leaves are thick and leathery, adding a sculptural element to any indoor space.

    Care Instructions:

    Light:

    • Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

    Water:

    • Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant's growth slows.

    Humidity:

    • Thrives in low to moderate humidity environments. The Snake Plant 'Fabi' is well-suited for typical indoor conditions and does not require additional humidity.

    Temperature:

    • Prefers temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C - 29°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

    Soil:

    • Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. A mix containing sand, perlite, and a small amount of organic matter works well to support healthy growth.

    Fertilizer:

    • Feed with a diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertilizer designed for succulents every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize in the fall and winter.

    Pruning:

    • Remove any dead or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and keep the plant healthy. Pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and prevents overcrowding.
