Default Leaf Problem: Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii'

I'm having a problem with the leaves on my two Sansevieria trifasciata
'Laurentii'. Besides the fact that they're losing their shape and

bending
over significantly, they also seem to be blistering -- little pockets

of
air
and liquid just under the outer membrane. I've had the plants about

two
or
three weeks and have been watering them weekly, letting the soil dry

before
watering them again. They're set in 10-inch pots and stay at about

65-70
degrees F (room temperature).

Any thoughts on what's causing this? Thanks.

Alright, I seem to have gotten a combination of water more and water

less
responses. In any case, would it be beneficial to stake some of the

leaves?

You're finally through with speculation?

Check out this webpage for Sansevieria diseases and their treatment.

It would be best to remove the effected leaves altogether.


I had debated pruning the plants, but that seemed a little extreme, as about
90% of the leaves of one plant are affected and almost all of the leaves of
the other. Does removing the leaves still make sense?
