Even if you are often out and about and only rarely at home, you do not have to worry about him. Bow hemp can withstand little care. We have summarized the most important things here so that you know how to proceed.<\/p>\n<p>Too much, the bow hemp doesn&#8217;t like that at all. As a minimalist, he is a real trendsetter because the modern principle applies to him: less is more. Regardless of the species, you create the best environment for bow hemp by making it inhospitable: Little water, little fertilizer, lots of suns. However, bow hemp has no objection to a little summer freshness in the open air in a sunny and dry place.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pour_Sansevieria_trifasciata\"><\/span>Pour Sansevieria trifasciata<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-661681faef1c6\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-661681faef1c6\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/sansevieria-trifasciata\/#Pour_Sansevieria_trifasciata\" title=\"Pour Sansevieria trifasciata\">Pour Sansevieria trifasciata<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/sansevieria-trifasciata\/#Fertilize_Sansevieria_trifasciata\" title=\"Fertilize Sansevieria trifasciata\">Fertilize Sansevieria trifasciata<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/sansevieria-trifasciata\/#Repot_bow_hemp\" title=\"Repot bow hemp\">Repot bow hemp<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/sansevieria-trifasciata\/#Maintaining_bow_hemp_the_right_soil\" title=\"Maintaining bow hemp: the right soil\">Maintaining bow hemp: the right soil<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>The subject of watering is relaxed with Sansevieria trifasciata. From his home in the semi-deserts and dry savannas of Africa and Asia, he is used to longer dry seasons. The advantage of this is that if you forget about it, it won&#8217;t immediately resent you. You can usually water the plant about every two weeks, but please don&#8217;t water it too generously. Let the soil dry well before the next watering. In winter, when the plant has a little less light available, you should also give the plant less water. At this time of year, you can water once a month without a guilty conscience. The amount of water can also be reduced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e1e1c7;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#fbfbe1;border-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">Tip: When watering, it is important that there is no water in the rosettes of the plant, as this could lead to rot.<\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fertilize_Sansevieria_trifasciata\"><\/span>Fertilize Sansevieria trifasciata<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Too much fertilizer does more harm than good to the bow hemp. He prefers it to be low in nutrients. If the plant has just been reported in the new substrate, it will not need fertilizer again until the next year. Commercially available liquid fertilizer for cacti, which you can add to the irrigation water, is ideally suited. Organic indoor and green plant fertilizer is also a good choice for Sansevieria trifasciata. However, it is sufficient if you only use half as much as stated on the packaging. In general, you should only fertilize during the summer half-year, i.e. in the period from mid-March to the end of August.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You might so like<\/strong>: <a class=\"yoast-link-suggestion__value\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/watering-bonsai-how-much-and-how-often-to-water-the-small-tree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watering Bonsai: How Much And How Often To Water The Small Tree?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Repot_bow_hemp\"><\/span>Repot bow hemp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Due to its slow growth, the bow hemp only needs to be repotted every few years. But if its strong roots want more space, then they can certainly blow up their pot. In this case, the signal is clear: the bow hemp wants to be repotted. It is best to do this in early spring before the plant starts the new season. When choosing the pot, make sure there is a drainage hole in the bottom of the pot. To improve the drainage effect, you can put a few pottery shards in the bottom of the pot. Then add a little of the substrate mixture before you put the plant in the pot. Now all you have to do is fill the pot with the substrate, lightly press the soil, and water the plant a little.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13056\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/If-the-bow-hemp-has-been-repotted-in-new-soil-it-does-not-need-fertilizer-again-until-the-next-year.jpg\" alt=\"If the bow hemp has been repotted in new soil, it does not need fertilizer again until the next year\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/If-the-bow-hemp-has-been-repotted-in-new-soil-it-does-not-need-fertilizer-again-until-the-next-year.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/If-the-bow-hemp-has-been-repotted-in-new-soil-it-does-not-need-fertilizer-again-until-the-next-year-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/If-the-bow-hemp-has-been-repotted-in-new-soil-it-does-not-need-fertilizer-again-until-the-next-year-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maintaining_bow_hemp_the_right_soil\"><\/span>Maintaining bow hemp: the right soil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bow hemp lives naturally on sandy and dry soils that contain few nutrients. Simple cactus soil is therefore suitable as a substrate. Or you can mix equal parts of sand and organic universal soil. The main thing is that the substrate is not too rich in nutrients and well-drained water. Bow hemp prefers a pH value in the neutral or slightly acidic range, i.e. between 6.0 and 7.0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So that you can enjoy your green roommate in the long term, he should be given the right care.
