Watering
Sansevieria pinguicula dwarf is xerophytic. Water carefully when the ground becomes dry to the touch. During hot summer months, it will be every 2–3 weeks. During cold winter months, every month. Be prone to overwatering, so inspect the ground first before water.
Soil and Pot
Drainage matters to the soil. Employ a potting soil that is cactus or succulent. If not, combine sand and perlite with standard potting soil to enhance drainage.
Temperature and Humidity
It prefers to be in the temperature range of 65–85°F (18–29°C), which is warm.Can tolerate cooler temperatures but cannot tolerate cold temperatures. It must be maintained in a dry condition because root rot results from high humidity.

Propagation

- Overwatering: The wolf in sheep’s clothing! Too much water produces mushy, rotten roots. Water only when soil is absolutely dry.
- Too much sun: When leaves start to curl and brown, it can be too much direct light for the plant. Move it to a new spot with filtered sunlight.
- Pests: Spider mites and mealybugs occasionally infest this plant. Neem oil or insecticidal soap spraying will kill them.
