Do not cut the leaves of the Sansevieria cylindrica!
A Sansevieria cylindrica can grow quite large. With good care, the cylindrical leaves can reach a height of up to one meter. You should take this into account if you want to grow this variety of scalloped cannabis. You must not cut back the leaves. What do you have to consider when cutting bow hemp:
- Do not cut healthy leaves
- Cut off diseased leaves at the base
- Cut leaf cuttings
- Separate root ball
If you cut the leaves of the Sansevieria cylindrica, the plant will quickly become unsightly. It dries up at the interfaces. In addition, germs and bacteria can penetrate through the open areas and cause the bow-tie to die.
If you still have to cut off a leaf because it has dried up, position the knife at the very bottom at the base.
Propagate Sansevieria cylindrica by cuttings or division
Sansevieria cylindrica can be propagated very well. Propagation works not only from seeds, you can also cut leaf cuttings or simply divide large plants.
To get leaf cuttings, cut off a leaf of the plant at the base. Divide it into individual pieces of 10 to 15 cm in length. Allow the cuts to dry before placing them in prepared pots of potting soil.
Propagating the Sansevieria cylindrica is even easier and faster by dividing it. To do this, take the plant out of the pot. Cut the root ball in half with a knife or cut off side shoots that have already taken root. The sections are placed in fresh substrate and cared for like adult plants.
Be careful when cutting!
The sap of the Sansevieria cylindrica contains saponins that can cause symptoms of poisoning. Always wear gloves when cutting.
Use a clean, sharp knife to cut so that the plant does not tear at the cutting points.
