SANSEVERIA DISEASE PROBLEMS
Bacterial soft rot causes a soft mushy rot at the base of
the stems. The problem is most prevalent on over-watered
plants. Keep plants watered properly and do not propagate
from diseased plants.
Leaf spot symptoms are sunken reddish brown spots on
the leaves. The spots have yellowish borders and may be
up to 1/2 inch in diameter. The spots may extend all the
way through the leaf then dry and fall out. If spots run
together and girdle the leaf, it dies.
Wilt is a physiological problem caused by over
fertilization.
