How to prune sansevieria moonshine

Any time a leaf is clearly dead or damaged. Use a sterilised sharp knife to cut the unwanted leaf flush with the soil. Avoid partial cuts on healthy leaves — the cut edge stays permanently visible on this slow-growing plant.

Rarely — only as needed for damaged leaves. Sansevieria Moonshine (Dracaena trifasciata 'Moonshine') is a slow-growing houseplant that needs little pruning. Simply remove leaves that are fully dead, mushy from rot, or physically damaged by cutting them at soil level. No shaping is required. The silver-green colouring is cultivar-specific and cannot be retained in leaf-cutting propagules.
