Hi taypee,

You can cut the leaves off if you really find them that unsightly, but they won't get new growth from the point of damage. They WILL continue to grow, but sans go through periods of really slow growth where you'd swear that they aren't doing anything. The plant will also grow new leaves as part of it's normal growing process. I picked up several Moonshines about a year and a half ago off the clearance rack and their leaves were all beat up. Just this summer, they "shed" the last bad leaf and I have healthy looking plants. They even sent up a few pups!

Thanks, Nancy! Should trim the nibbled ends?

Hi Taypee,

it really does not matter for the plant, it is just YOUR matter of taste whether you trim the ends or not.

Oh, and Moonshine does not make many leaves per growth, only 3-6 I think, not higher than 30 cm or so. After that, you can only expect new pups, nothing more.

Thanks so much, Helli! I love gardenweb!

And my friend the botanist is having new growth at this time on her plant, they will grow from the rhizome even if you take all the leaves off or they dry up. Mine has not offset yet this year, I even have a variegated 'Moonshine' gray leaves with dark green marking, they usually turn light green anyway with age. They are really beautiful to have in your collection make a great indoor container plant, they really make a statement. Norma

Obviously they're not dead. Where's the person that posted are sansevierias poisonous?
They ate it because it contains a lot of minerals and possibly some anti-toxins similar to the aloe vera we use medicinally and cosmetically.
Sansevierias are eaten by slugs and snails that relish these plants and do not die because of it.

Helli, do you know anything regarding S. humiflora, I want to know what the new leaf is supposed to look like any blotching, I don't know what other word to use, what about the tips, blunt, or with a wick.
Any stripes, or banding? I would love to Email Specks nursery, Juan's phone number has been changed. So what do I do and who may I ask? I now have four none look like each other. R1881 Norma

Norma,

I do not know anything. My plant did not grow a line above ground, and I did not repot. You can find Specks's email at www.specks-exotica.com
