Pruning snake plants enhances their health and appearance. By removing damaged or excessive leaves, stems, and rhizomes, you promote new growth, improve air circulation, and prevent disease. Trim leaves with sharp shears, cutting back to the soil line for severely damaged ones. Divide rhizomes in spring by cutting them into sections with a clean knife. Avoid over-pruning to prevent root damage. Water after pruning but be careful not to overwater, as the plant may develop root rot. Different snake plant varieties have specific pruning requirements, so consider their unique characteristics when pruning.
