How to prune starfish sansevieria

Any time of year when damage or browning appears. Use a sharp, clean blade to remove an entire affected leaf at soil level. If only the tip is brown, leave the leaf intact rather than trimming — tip cuts result in permanently brown edges.

Rarely — only to remove dead or damaged leaves as needed. Starfish Sansevieria needs very little pruning. Remove individual leaves that turn brown, yellow, or are damaged by cutting them off cleanly at the base. Do not cut leaf tips — this causes browning and disfigures the plant's distinctive fan shape. Overall care is very low maintenance.
