These plantlets are generally produced at the ends of the leaves, although they may also appear along the length of the leaves.

Repotting

Repotting Sansevieria Hahnii should occur every year. Choose a pot that has a drainage hole, making sure it is the same size or slightly larger than the previous container. Spacing between plants in pots and containers should be at least one foot apart.

Sansevieria Hahnii can be fertilized using water-soluble houseplant food. Other organic matter such as leaf mulch or compost can be used.

Pruning

Sansevieria Hahnii should be pruned regularly. Generally, this should occur at least once or twice a year. Pruning can be done either in spring or summer.

The ideal time to prune plants is right after they have flowered and are shutting down for the season. Remove any dead, damaged or diseased parts of the plant.
