How to prune sansevieria eilensis

Any time; remove dead leaves as they appear. Grasp a fully dead leaf near the base and pull gently, or cut it cleanly at soil level with a sterilized blade. Do not trim or shorten living leaves — cuts are permanent and disfiguring on this species.

Rarely; only when leaves fully die back. Sansevieria eilensis is a slow-growing cylindrical succulent that needs no pruning. Its distinctive cylindrical, channelled leaves do not branch or regrow if cut. Simply remove leaves that have died back fully by pulling or cutting cleanly at the base. Leave healthy leaves entirely alone.
