Pruning sansevieria laurentii — FAQ
When should I prune sansevieria laurentii?
Any time, as needed. Cut individual damaged leaves at the very base, as close to the soil line as possible, using a sterilised blade. Avoid cutting healthy green-and-gold leaves mid-length as it permanently mars the appearance.
How often does sansevieria laurentii need pruning?
Rarely — only when dead or damaged leaves appear. Sansevieria Laurentii (Dracaena trifasciata 'Laurentii') rarely needs pruning. Remove leaves that are fully brown, damaged, or mushy by cutting them cleanly at soil level. Note: propagating leaf sections from this cultivar produces plain-green pups — the gold variegation is only true from division of the rhizome.
