How to Care for the Plant

Water
Sansevieria Cylindrica does not need abundant watering. Excess moisture can actually harm your plant. It would be enough to irrigate your green pet just once a week in summer and a couple of times a month in winter. Excess liquid can actually harm your plant.
Pruning
Your Sansevieria Cylindrica does not require pruning. However, if the leaves of the plant have been damaged or withered, you can cut them off with a sharp and clean tool.
Fertilizer
Sansevieria Cylindrica grows slowly, so it does not need much feeding. However, you can still occasionally use succulent nutrient mixes to boost your green pet's health.
