Due to its brittle leaves, this plant may show small defects caused by handling. These do not affect the health or development of the plant.

In compact Sansevieria varieties, the leaves grow very close to each other, and as they open, fine marks or small scars caused by friction, pressure, or temporary tissue drying may remain. These are not diseases, do not affect photosynthesis, and are considered natural growth characteristics.
