You are right! No one is talking about drying it out. I have been researching everywhere! Thanks for confirming it.
I've done it both ways and been successful without drying them out too, but it's a good practice to let them dry out :-)
Swedish plantguy did
I have never suceeded... n end up buying. They all die
@@gwenbatoon5262 same for me.. They r not original... Hybrides then no result.. All ll die...
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
This is totally what nobody is talking about! Now I know what I've been doing wrong. Haha. Thank you R Raphael, this saved me and my babies! 😝
Happy to help! Let me know when you try again and it works! :-)
THIS TOTALLY WORKED. I let it callous over for like 3-5 days, then after 2.5 weeks into water, roots have appeared. Thank you so much Raphael! ❤️
Thanks for unselfishly sharing with us the most important task in water propagation, that is, to dry the cuttings for 2-3 days. This was never touched in all vloggers I watched. God bless...and we'll be delighted to learn some more from you.
By far the best video I have ever seen and I have been watching a week worth on Sansevieria!! Thank you so much!!!
You're so welcome! And thanks for taking the time to comment :-)
I like you! You are always to the point quickly, clearly and simply and also thoroughly. Great work! Love you videos.
Omg THIS! Thank you so much!! I began my cuttings in water and they rotted I was so sad. I now have several cuttings drying so that I can try the water method again. I like rooting them in water so that I can watch the process. Thank you again.
You're so welcome Macy! Keep me posted on your progress :-)
How long did you let the roots grow in the water before transferring them into soil?
Excellent video. You covered most of my concerns in propagating this plant. Thank you! 🧤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for being so thorough!
You're very welcome Joyce!
Very helpful informative no one else mentioned this.Thanks so much👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
I’m fairly a new plant owner (1 year) and honestly since I discovered your channel (IG & YT) it helped me a lot. I had a hard time with watering my plants initially but since I followed your method of soaking/thorough watering the plants I noticed improvement (I water them once every fortnight being winter where I live then will do once a week when it gets to summer). I just recently started water propagating so I’m loving this vlog. Thank you and I look forward to more of your vlogs❤️.
I'm so happy that you're seeing a lot more success since you modified your watering! Thank you for commenting and I will continue to create more videos when I can!
🙏🏽YOU WERE SENT FROM HEAVEN!!💫 thank you so much for this video and bringing so much clarity to the reasons for my rotted clippings! You’re awesome!! New subby here!
You are so welcome and thank you!! :-). Good luck!
For those with ADHD and having issues getting through the video like I was, but find his information valuable, you can put the video on x1.5 speed. ❤🙏
Hi fr. the Philippines. Thanks for this video so informative and yes, the drying out leaves portion is new. Usually some vids I saw just demonstrate the leaves cut and potted right away without airdrying.
I've done it both ways, but it is better to be safe and let them dry first :-)
Thank you for the tip to dry out first . All my leaf cuttings have been rotting for past attempts
You're very welcome! I hope you have better success next time!
This is so helpful, thank you for sharing these tips!!
Glad it was helpful! :-)
very good explanation, as a newbie 1 week to be exact, you give tons of helpful information
good job and thank you
Glad it was helpful for you :-)
Thanks for mentioning you should first let them callus over before putting them in water. Everyone said to do that before putting them in soil, but not in water as well.
I've put at least two dozen of cuttings of whole leaves (of different sizes) in water a couple of days ago, and now I noticed literally all of them have started to rot! Crazy how literally no leaf was left healthy. I've cut the mushy parts on all of them and I'm going to let them callus over for a day or two. Hopefully, they'll do well once I put them in water again.
I've also cut some leaves in sections, let them dry out for two days and then potted them, and now they look like they are drying up and dying. The soil is fine, but it seems to me they dried out too much when they were left to callus over.
When doing the soil propagation method, you'll have to keep the potting mix more moist than you'd think. I'd still let the surface dry out, but don't let it go completely dry.
@@OhioTropics Thank you very much for sharing this video and 👌👌
Thank you. Everything you mentioned in here has happened to me. Now I know why. And no one has said to let them callous. No one. Ty
You're very welcome, and good luck! :-)
Wow! Well explained. I tried it and it gets rot. Thank you for your amazing blog. Full view and enjoy it.
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Great tips.. haven't any luck before. Will try again... thxxx
Good luck!
Thanks for the video, this was exactly what I needed to know!
You're very welcome Mary! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much ~^^ cleaning is so important in my experiencing ~
Now im so clear about that ^^
You're welcome 😊
thank u for sharing i’ve been looking for answers
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for this. I ordered a beautiful leaf cutting and I let it callus overnight before putting it in water, but today, almost a week later, I noticed that the bottom was beginning to rot. I just took it out, sliced off the rotting part with a sterile blade and actually cut it in half to try both water propagation again, and soil propagation. In water, I don't think I let it dry out enough before hand. Even though it looked and felt dry and callused, I think one day was too little. I did change the water every three days and monitored the cutting every morning, and today was when I spotted the start of some rot.
Hopefully, with these tips, I can have success with the cutting in water by rinsing off the leaf under a faucet when I change the water and washing the container out each time. And I have some gritty cactus/succulent mix to try and propagate the other cutting and I will remember to keep it moist, but not over water - it has excellent drainage, so I am hopeful.
Did it end up working for you?
Thanks 😊 for the info.
Now I know what to do.
Thank you, This was much needed info
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, you answered all my questions
Happy to help!
Thanks for this video! Just right in time! While watching I'm cutting the rotting part off. Drying the other part. I hope they will all survive. I've seen some videos already and no one talks about drying it out first. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Even dry out I putted in water but rotting again
When I saw this I m throwing
Can we cover
Thank you so much, very helpful. Fingers crossed I have more luck this time 🤞🏻
You're very welcome and best of luck! :-)
You are great!. I've watched several other people and was put off by their silliness, so glad I discovered you. Thanks
So glad you are enjoying my channel MaryJo :-) Thanks!
How to manage during winter when there's not much light.
Thanks for uploading the video .Lots of information .
You can always supplement with grow lights :-)
Subscribed! Great info, tips, updates, and! I'm in NW Indiana so our climates are similar! Thank you so much! PS, I've always known them as, "Mother in law's tongue"
Glad you enjoyed it Bev! There are tons of common names for many plants but it can also make it confusing for many people :-).
Excellent video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you I did not know to let them dry out. Im going to go make new cutting to let them dry out!
Thank you!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much. Wow this is a game changer.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the watering tip. That has been my problem. I did not know that you have to keep the soil moist.
This is a good rule of thumb for rooting only :-). After roots are established, you do want the soil to dry out.
Great tips!!🙏🏼❤️
Glad you liked it!!
Great tips! Thank you so much!💚🌿🌻
You're very welcome Debbie! :-)
Thank you for the tips!!! I will airdry my cuttings first esp the whalefin. Will do as well on my other snake plants.
Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!
Yesss my goodness I was thinking the same to. I was left wondering, are only succulents meant to calluse over...but I've noticed that a few videos don't mention that either with them. Thank you so much for confirming. Love this video
You're very welcome! :-)
Tku very much :) I have successfully propagated my snake plant after a month. It kept rotting in the beginning until I saw your video. This is something no one talks about

You're very welcome :-)
Thanks alot.
You're very welcome!
I tried to propagate but once the leaves got soaked for a couple of days it rottens. Thank you for your tips. I wish I will be able to propagate my golden sansieveria using the tips I learned from you. Thank you and please update more videos.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and best of luck when you try again!
Lovely
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
I followed the video and was successful in water propogation though i didnt dry out the leaves.But what the most imp advice is you need to change water and clean leaves every 3 days and also ive observed that cutting the leaves in an 'inverted v' shape rooted soon than the straight cut ones.
Glad you had success!
OMG yes, why does no one mention these tips?!?!? Makes so much sense, awesome advice! I'm going to do this this spring!
Glad it was helpful!
im a new plant mom, just started about a month and since then i watch a lot of plant related videos and this probably one of the best tutorial I've watched.. very very informative! thanks for sharing that. im here because i water propagating my snake plant for 3 weeks now and no roots..
Hi there! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and good luck with your propagations! It's a test of patience for sure :-)
Thank you
You're welcome Mary!
Hey there! Would you do a video on your aquarium setup looks great! Please & ty.🙏 💚
I will try to in the future!
For soil propagation, can I ask how do you know when the roots are full established and you can scale back the watering? Thanks for your help!
I have the same question :B Today I finally saw a new pup/grow emerging and now I'm like: ok, so what now.... the soil still needs to be moist or I have to treat the whole thing like a regular sansevieria and water only when it's completely dry?? 🤷🏻♀
This is a great question! I would scale back the watering when you see the pups emerging. But I would still not let it dry out completely. Maybe let the top inch dry out at the point where you start to see pups. Hope this helps a bit! It's not an exact science :-)
Aaaahhhhhh no one said you need to dry it out just like dragonfruit cactus thingy.. thank you so much. My cutting are trimmed so much now cz the my have been rotting 😭😭
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You're welcome!
Thank you so much. I can now save my snake cuttings.
You're very welcome!
Many thanks for this video! Question: do I need to dry out my cuttings IF I’m propagating them directly into soil? Or is the drying process only for cuttings using water propagation?
It's a good idea to do it for both!
Very useful tips, thank you! For water propagation, how long would it take for the roots to grow as much as the one in your example?
You're very welcome! It can really vary drastically. If you have a lot of light and warm temperatures, it will happen much more quickly. I've heard of rooting occurring anywhere from 2 weeks to several months (in very poor conditions). For me personally, probably about 2 months before roots start to form.
Hi!! As a new plant caretaker, your video is very much accurately informative that has similarly claimed the same thing with my researches. This is so underrated! You deserve more views and subs. Thanks for this!
Anyway, I also have a question. How will I know the age of a snake plant? Thank you!
That's so nice of you to say Patricia! Thanks for subscribing :-)
Age of a snake plant yeah??
Same with Jade plant cutting. Let dry for 2 weeks, then plant in sandy soil.
You are a fantastic teacher. Where in Africa did you go? We have 54 countries there you know. I've seen it flower beautiful flowers in Ghana.
You're very kind :-). Thank you. We went to South Africa on a safari last year. So gorgeous!
Hello! I just have one question please ! How long should I let them dry out maybe like 3 days ? Before I prop ? Awesome videos thanks so much ! Very helpful
You're very welcome! Yes, 2 or 3 days should be sufficient :-)
Outstanding information! So, aren't those water propagated "Dracena's" ready for dirt? How long can you keep them in water and would there be an advantage. I used sand in my latest mix and now wish I would have used Perlite. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video :-) I propagated them this way mainly because I wanted to observe and document the process for my blog. You can keep them in water indefinitely but they will do better growing in a potting mix. If they are looking ok for you with the sand that you added, don't bother changing the potting mix. Everyone's conditions are different so if you're having success, keep your mix the same! Hopefully you used a coarse sand? Fine sand will cause too much compaction of the potting mix.
Your video is very informative. Do you let the cuttings form callous over three days when potting in soil? I know you said when putting the cuttings in water, but not in soil. Thank you 🎋
Yes absolutely! It is important to do regardless which method of propagation you use.
I killed my ficus weeping tree. Can you do a video about those? Love your channel
Glad you enjoyed the video :-) I will try and make one in the future!
After the roots start coming in, using the water method. When can you plant the snake plant in soil?
You can put it in soil now if you'd like. I like to watch the pups develop. If you don't care about that, you can place them in soil right now!
