watering
Watering for Sansevieria ehrenberghii 'Samurai Dwarf' should be done once every 2 weeks, using approximately 1 quart of water per plant. When watering, it is important to water deeply, allowing the water to run down through the soil. If the soil feels dry when lightly pressed, it is time to water.
sunlight
Blue Sansevieria plants prefer bright indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. Placing the plant near a south or east-facing window offers the most ideal lighting, as direct sunlight may cause the leaves to burn. Avoid direct, hot sunlight and instead opt for bright, indirect light with some filtered sun exposure. When placed in a darker environment, the blue shades of your Sansevieria will appear less vibrant.
pruning
Blue Sansevieria (Sansevieria ehrenberghii 'Samurai Dwarf') requires minimal pruning. Pruning can be done as needed to keep the plant looking tidy and to encourage thicker foliage. If pruning is done, it should occur in springtime (April – May) when the plant is actively growing. Any pruning should be done carefully as the plant is brittle to the touch. Start by removing any dead or dying leaves, or any leaves that have grown too long. It is best to use a pair of sterilized scissors or gardening shears to make a clean cut. After trimming, wipe the scissors with rubbing alcohol to prevent contamination. Pruning helps encourage healthy growth and growth of new leaves.
