Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of Sansevieria problems, leading to root rot.

Water less frequently in winter, and ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent waterlogging.

Pruning is minimal and usually only necessary to remove dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves. Cut the affected leaves at the base of the plant using clean, sharp scissors or a knife.

This helps maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and prevents disease spread.

Sansevieria are easily propagated by division or leaf cuttings. Divide the rhizomes in spring, ensuring each section has at least one leaf and a portion of the rhizome.

For leaf cuttings, cut healthy leaves into 5-10 cm sections and plant them upright in moist soil.

Repot Sansevieria every 2-5 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound and fills its pot. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to ensure good aeration.
