Sansevieria masoniana Turning Yellow

I have a Sansevieria masoniana that I've had for a couple of years. It seems very healthy except for one thing; it's very very gradually turning more and more yellow. It doesn't appear to be suffering from root rot or anything like that and is as rigid/firm as ever. Does it need to be repotted, fertilized, or what?

Hi Brandon,

all of these may be the cause, and lack of light too. A photo would be most helpful.

San. Masoniana, is a tropical plant. This time of year it would need a great deal of water each week, drenched in fact. It also need liquid fertilizer after it is drenched, Osmocote fertilizer which is not a liquid. but lasts 3-4 mo. or 9 mo. kind. The are heavy users of fertilizer this time of the year through Sept. I noticed that you live in Tenn. one of the men on my other
San. Forum, grows monster plants, and teases me regarding my puny plants, he has rain water, I don't, it make a huge difference. Your plants should be in prime condition. if you want to know more contact me. Norma Zone 10
