How to prune sansevieria phillipsiae

Native to Somalia, it produces cylindrical leaves that should not be shortened as cut tips brown permanently. Routine care is limited to removing fully dead or badly damaged leaves at their base. Keep cuts clean with sterile tools to prevent rot entering the thick succulent leaf tissue.
