Sansevieria leaf tips

londongirl
16 years ago

I have a very small Sansevieria, that has one largish leaf (relative to the others), one smaller leaf, and one tiny leaf in the centre. My cat has knocked the tip off the largish leaf.

I was reading an old thread on this forum, where people were discussing leaf tips, but no conclusion seemed to be reached.

Does anyone know if it's true that if the tip breaks off a leaf then that leaf won't grow? Do Sansevieria leaves grow from the tip, rather than the base? If so, should I cut that leaf off? Will doing so encourage new growth?

Thanks for any advice.
