How to divide sansevieria bantel's sensation
Lift the plant, wash enough soil off to see the rhizome clearly, then cut it into sections with a clean knife — each with roots below and a visible bud or shoot above. Discard any soft, hollow or woody old sections from the middle.
Aftercare
Pot each division into fresh compost at the same depth it was growing before, water it in well, and keep it somewhere bright but out of direct sun for two to three weeks while new roots take hold. Do not feed straight away — damaged roots take up fertiliser poorly and it can scorch them.
The mistake to avoid
Cutting sections with roots but no growing point. They will sit there and eventually rot — every piece of sansevieria bantel's sensation rhizome needs a bud to grow from.
