Due to brittle leaves, this plant may show small blemishes caused by handling. These do not affect the plant’s health or development.

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