How to prune sansevieria robusta

Any time of year, as needed. Cut dead or damaged leaves cleanly at the base using sterile scissors or a blade. Avoid all tip trimming; the plant's thick leaves do not callous cleanly after a cut.

Rarely — only when dead or damaged foliage appears. Sansevieria Robusta is a slow-growing, sturdy houseplant that needs very little pruning. Leaves grow upright and should not be trimmed to reduce height — cut ends brown and remain visible indefinitely. Limit pruning to removing entirely dead or damaged leaves at the base. Sterilize tools before cutting to avoid introducing rot.
