How to prune sansevieria canaliculata

Any time for dead-leaf removal. Using a clean, sharp blade, cut unwanted leaves as close to the soil line as possible. Avoid trimming healthy leaves mid-length, as sansevieria leaves do not regrow from the cut point.

Rarely; only when dead growth is present. Dracaena canaliculata (cylindrical-leaved sansevieria) rarely needs pruning. Remove only dead, shrivelled, or damaged cylindrical leaves by cutting them at soil level. Do not cut healthy leaves shorter — the leaf will not regenerate from a cut tip and the wound simply browns, leaving a permanently blunt, discoloured end.
