How to prune sansevieria trifasciata black gold

Any time a leaf is dead, rotten, or physically broken. Cut damaged leaves as close to the soil line as possible with a sterilised knife or scissors. If only the leaf tip is brown, trim it at an angle mimicking the natural tip shape.

Rarely — only when dead or damaged leaves are present. Sansevieria Trifasciata Black Gold (Dracaena trifasciata 'Black Gold') needs very little pruning. Cut fully dead or mushy leaves at soil level with a sterilised blade. Avoid trimming healthy leaves mid-length — cut marks are permanent on this slow-growing plant. The gold-edged variegation is only preserved through rhizome division, not leaf cuttings.
