Wow I have always wondered about the relationship between the fan-shaped ones and the straight ones, and why when my straight ones grow babies the babies always grow into fan-shaped ones. I have looked everywhere and your video is the first one explained this mystery for me. Thank you!
Very informational tutorial. Thank you! You helped me separate 4 babies from the mother plant and explain why the originals don’t fan and why the babies do! So fun to learn!!
My straight Sansevierias (dracaena?) have been straight and done nothing for 2 years until 3 months ago when they went crazy having pups. I thought it amazing that the pups were a different shape and have been watching with interest to see what they become. Now I know not only what the pups will grow into, but that the straight plants were actually individual cuttings and the reason for them not growing any bigger!!. You are the 1st person to explain this to me. Thank you!
Right?!?! I'm all over plantTube and love sansevieria, I refuse to honor the change to dracaena 😂, and have never heard someone explain it like that! It makes sense, but I never put it together. I too have a pot of cuttings that started sprouting pups of a different shape and was also intrigued as to why 😂😂😂
Here i am thinking there's something wrong with my plant babies because its not behaving like its mother, when actually their growing into its natural form! Thank you so much for explaining this! I agree about shops not explaining to anyone new to these plants! Had mine for over a year and always wondered why the babies looked different! Definitely prefer the natural look of them though! This really helped!🌱
You have beautiful and healthy senseveria cylindrica boncel plants. Only boncel type fans out, it's sometimes called senseveria cylindrica starfish. Normally, if it is just called senseveria cylindrica, they would be upright and singular.
This was SUPER HELPFUL. I just bought my first snake plant. It is braided but has a few babies growing. Now I understand how the braided ones came to be, and how I can care for the babies
Thank you, I did not know that the braided versions were individual cuttings. I like the natural fan shape much better. Now that I know this I’ll know what to look for. Thanks a million.
This video is great !! I purchased a pot of cylindrical sansevieria not realizing all 10 spikes were cuttings . This was about a year ago . I took them out of the pot and broke the plant in two . I now thought I had two plants . Both pots are doing well, and one has three new pups . The second pot has a new pup too . I'm thrilled after watching your video to learn they are both growing . Thank you very much for explaining what I have and I am either doing something right , or I got lucky :) Love Sanssevieria plants .
Aahhhh! That’s why my sanseveria cylindrica pot has 3 different looking plants in it! You just gave an answer to my long time question. Some are cuttings and some are pups! Thank you Ashley. 😀😃🌵☕️
Thank you so much for sharing! I got my moms after she passed, and it has grown, but some of the leaves have ridges, some are yellowing, and several have brown on the very tip, which I see with yours doesn’t happen. Your video encourages me to repot! Thanks so much!!
I always thought they were two different plants. I rescued a bunch of, now I know were cuttings, and when the pups started growing they were fan shaped and I was so confused 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much. I did not know about the issue with the cuttings creating the straight leaves with no fan. The one I saw that a friend had was a lovely group of fans. I bought one shaped like a fan, but it was the only one that had at that greenhouse. I don't really like the straight sword shape. Again this was very useful, everyone dealing with this plant should watch your video.
Thank you so much. I just bought a Starfish, myself and I don't really know about it. It is a Sansaveria which is a succulent. They like indirect bright light but can tolerate low light conditions for a while. This is pretty much all I know, so I am very happy to have found your channel!😊
I love these and own one and saw one Saturday at Lowe’s and regrettably left it! It was positively Beautiful! But I was on the hunt for something else! I purchased five plants Saturday! Thanks for sharing!
I came here because mine was the bunch of straight ones that I picked up at Kroger a couple of years ago but over the last few months, lots of new growth was going on and I wanted to know about separation. I'm very excited about the pups now! The cuttings can go back into a pot together again but I'm really looking forward to seeing the pups grow into the plants they were meant to be!
Great video and explanations about the plant growing, thank you very much ! I was very worried about my sansevieria after one of its leaves got broken but I could see that yours went perfectly well and healthy after having one broken, and thus feel now better about it !
Hmm that explains a lot. I purchased 7 cuttings in a grow pot from a nursery. The caretaker told me that they would fan out. I wasn't too sure about it but each cutting had a pup so I had nothing to lose. After that I went to a swap and was given another cutting, this one was semi circular in shape instead of cylindrical (weird) and then one that fanned out and had 3... "Arms", "leaves", "fronds" (still learning). I guess it will be interesting to see what I end up with at the end of the season.
i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Pierce Ryker i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
5:45 is the best info you can give everyone! Thank you!! I was about to buy the straight ones bunched together from Facebook Market Place, but I already had someone I buy house plants from. I showed he the pic and she told me she only has the fan ones, I assumed they were a different type so I bought them anyways. You're video was the first video I watched and you nailed it! Thank you! Love these plants. All three of them have a broken finger so I'll keep them together and replant the babies
Thank you. I received one with cuttings only, (I thought it was funny), but it rooted and extended to a full plant. So thanks to you, I guess I can cut off the original spear and let the plant grow on it's own! Thanks for the nice video
Thanks for this video! I just repotted my mama plant (I just got her and her grower’s pot was cutting in to her stems because she was so big) and discovered three tiny babies on their way! This was so helpful to know when to separate them - now I can keep an eye out and have four beautiful fans when they’re big and strong! 🙌
This video was a great help! I just inherited a plant like that and had no idea what it was because I have only ever seen the ones sticking strait up. I call mine Peter Parker aka Spider-Man and now I know better how to care for him!
I think I got a Sansevieria sulcata marketed as a cylindrica. I'm waiting to see how the pups develop to make a final determination. Thanks for the extra info!
Thanks for this! I have a large snakeplant with multiple fans and offshoots starting to take over, and it needed to be seperated (it was flowering from being rootbound!) and this helped me figure out how to seperate the offshoots.
Nice to see you back Ashley :) I bought a pot of sansevierias from ikea and they were all just straw like stems, now I know haha thanks However some have put out little growths on the sides so still hopeful to see full plants :) could you please do more lithops care vids, I love them so much :) I had all my lithops flower and grow well even cross pollinated some and got seed pods the first year I had them, but then they all slowly died :( still figuring out how to keep them alive several years
Your video really sooper, helpful. After reporting the sansevieria plant from small pot to big pot how water to pour to it immediately after reporting. I always confused of watering to it. So plz help me . Thank you 👍
I made the newbie mistake of misting the soil on these because I was afraid to overwater. That caused rot at the base of the plant. So I removed it from the soil, rinsed the roots clean and sprayed the rotted area with hydrogen peroxide and let it sit on paper towel on my dining room table for about 10 days lol because I ran out of time. The rotted area dried up completely. Then I repotted and she’s sending me all kinds of babies now. Very resilient plant but I keep mine in an east facing window only (morning sun). And I fertilize during the summer months with DynaGro foliage pro or DynaGro Grow formula.
I was worrying for like 4 months about having the keep braiding my cylindrical snake plant as it grew but I guess it never will LOL. its giving me babies though which is nice I'll have some cool mohawk looking plants soon.
Hi I bought one that is in glued in Little Rock’s. I sudden saw a baby pup, how it got through, I don’t know. So then I saw two more pups, do I need to repot? And if I do how do I get them out of the glue? I don’t want to harm roots. It’s cuttings that have grown pups.
Thank you so much for explaining which is the original Cylindrica 😀 I was sure it's the one which is just sticks, but apparently the fan is the original one 😄 i am happy, because i took off few leave from my starfish to propagate and I was hoping to get more starfish, now I know I will 😄 what about bacularis? I got those potted cuttings from store, they made few babies by now, but they still are one-leaf babies, will they be a fan shape too? Thank you for a nice video ♡
Hi, thanks for your really good video 👏😀 how much water do you gave to you cylindrical sansevieria plant? 1/2 cup or more a week in summer? Thanks in advance 🤓
Thank you SOOOO MUCH for this video! I have learned soooo much! Ok so I had the EXACT problem with the plant not growing but now I realize they were just cut and stuck in the pot. A lot of them had pups but what do I do with the cut ones with no pups on them? Since they will not grow do I throw it out? Beginner over here haha
Actually they’re not always just “cuttings”..... I just bought this exact plant and they were all individual cylinder with their own roots. So they will grow and they will grow pups;-)
The cuttings develop roots and will absolutely grow pups too! I talk about this in other videos. But a cutting doesn’t keep growing and turn into a whole plant. It stays just a rooted leaf, and then will make pups that you can grow into a full plant. Most people don’t know that and will wait for the rooted cutting to grow into a plant, make more leaves etc.
I have a sansiviera for years, and their leaves are too long.. I wonderif i cut half from the tips, will the mother plant have the pointy leaves back? I hope you can help me.. thank you for your very helpfull video.
I have damage leaves, and I cutted the leaf to get rid the damage but it never gave me new pointy leaf. So I pulled the whole leaf, now they gave me new pointy leaf. everytime I pulled 1 or 2, it grows new pointy leaf for total of 5. Thanks for the video!
I recently bought a braided one that is now growing pups! I was going to also buy a fan shaped one and some potted spears. But thanks to you, I know I have them all with a little patience! Thanks again!
I haven't read all the comments, but I'm looking for your recommendation on soil mixture. I was hoping it might be in the comments. If you see this comment could you give me a suggestion?
What kind of light should they have? I know you said windows seal. I didn’t great if it is ok for direct sun. I have one in the bathroom and it doors pretty good.. My first time having them I went and separated them.. so mine are way safer and skinnier but they are starting to fan out but I would love to know I’d they can have direct light or just shaded sun? Ty so much!
Hi I had a question. Mine seems to be a mutant of some kind and has grown in all sorts of directions. There are 14 spears on the main large plant. Then the smaller baby I presume is an actual fan. Should I attempt to separate the larger one? The spears are as thick as a sausage!
A friend just gave me a cutting so I guest I have to wait now till new babies come before it looks like it's mother ?, plus my son just got me a fan one as well . Very hard to find here in NZ what soil do you use for the repotting?.
I was wondering if I can remove a yellow stem on my starfish snake plant. It is in between the first and the third stem from bottom. I found this plant at a restaurant I was at and it was in full sun and in a none draining pot. It was completely yellow/white and some tips looked as if they were suffocating. One has fallen off from the bottom right and now this one is about to. The rest of the plant is slowly getting its green color back
Most likely yes! They don’t fan till they get a couple years old though usually. And there is one form of cylindrical Sansevieria that grows in a more random pattern, not a fan. But if the mother is in a fan shape, the pups should naturally follow once they get a little bigger!
I am new to you, as I was looking up how to separate off my "starfish" sansevieria, as it was labeled when sold to me. Anyways, I really should have watched your video BEFORE I decided to break off mine when it didn't have any little roots coming off of it. So, can I put it in a little water for a few days and it'll sprout some, or will this make it rot? Also, I have snapped off the ones that are at the bottom as new ones have grown out the middle. I just liked how it looked as a "starfish" and not like a fan. I hope that wasn't wrong??? Any response you could give me would greatly appreciated. I was doing this to send to my sister in law in Florida and am just bummed...
Thank you , I wondered why my sanseveria was not growing upwards . I brought one full of cuttings ! And I didn't know what the plant should look like.Fortunately there are babies pushing the flower pot out of shape so I'll repot those as that fan shape is beautiful. Great video
How do you get spears to grow so thick?? I have one that I've had for years, which has grown to many! I've gotten a lot of babies; some I've kept, many have given away & they're all healthy, beautiful & growing - But, the spears, some as long as 2', are always very skinny! Approx. 1/4" at best! So, tell me are some plants just like that or is there something else I should be doing? Thanks So Much for your video! It's the most informative I've seen so far! 😁
Is a shallow pot better?? Thank you so much for this info! I bought one and there were 5 large individual and was wondering why they weren’t getting bigger. Luckily some have grown pups. But what kind of pot would you recommend for this plant?
Some of my cylindrical leaves still looks shriveled...like what you showed at the end of the video, even though I deep water them once a week. How do I get them back to its plump fatty look again?
My first cylindrica was definitely just cuttings. And now I have a full plant that I got this year but my original cutting one I got last year is growing a bunch of pups... but none of them are cylindrical? It's just this open leaf for all the pups. I'm so confused.
Supposedly when the plants are young and their roots aren't as well established, the new growth won't be cylindrical but when they develop they will begin to grow cylindrical :)
Ok so I have a braided one, how long does it take until the babies grow out? I've been waiting so patiently ever since seeing this video xD but I've had the plant for like 2 months maybe
Hi there! I just bought one Braided Sansevieria 5 days ago, put some water cause I noticed the soil was super dried, but It turns out that 3 leaves out of 5 started to languish from the tips to the base of the plant. Do you have any recommendation or tip to save it? thanks!
Oh no I did before I searched. I took my baby’s off right away because I liked the way it looked alone. Did I just murder the babies??? They had a few roots but now I’m not so sure they will survive ☹️
And here I thought the ridges were how they're supposed to look. They're so pretty with the ridges :( edit: 12:01 I was mistaken, by ridges you meant dips on the shape of the leaf, not the color/pattern XD my bad

Mine is cuttings shoved in a pot, but when I lifted it, there was several babies. So I bought it. I'll repot it once those babies are bigger.

The makes sense now. Thank you for all the details. My plants are literally my life. Love your hair. Thank you
I actually prefer the fan one's! They're so much more interesting than the stick one's. Thank you for showing me the REAL ones 👏👏🌿🌿❤️

This was just what I needed. I bought one at the grocery store with two pups on it and it looks crowded. Everyone gets new homes tomorrow. 🤩
Great video and explanations about the plant growing, thank you very much ! I was very worried about my sansevieria after one of its leaves got broken but I could see that yours went perfectly well and healthy after having one broken, and thus feel now better about it !
Just picked one up at HD. Thank you for sharing this video. I’m looking forward to learning more about this unique Sansevieria. 😊

I just found one of these today at Lowes and I am over the moon
JennFredFox 39 yay!!! That’s so exciting! I love these guys! 🥰🥰
I think I got a Sansevieria sulcata marketed as a cylindrica. I'm waiting to see how the pups develop to make a final determination. Thanks for the extra info!
done watching.happiness in leaf vlog
Very informative! Super helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 💖
Very helpful thank you! I'm currently rescuing a shriveled one and it has a baby popping up!
Yay !!! I love those Sansi ❤️ it’s great watching your videos 👏🏽
Is it possible that a shrivelled leaf get back to its normal healthy round shape.
Excellent video ❤
Thanks for this! I have a large snakeplant with multiple fans and offshoots starting to take over, and it needed to be seperated (it was flowering from being rootbound!) and this helped me figure out how to seperate the offshoots.
Thank you so much, I really enjoy your explaination, I have a big one, gave me flower but doesn't have babys
purchased one from Home Depot today with a mother plant and six separate pups with 3-4 stems(?) coming out of each one
Super informative video 👍🏼👍🏼
I learned something new thank you love
Nice to see you back Ashley :)
I bought a pot of sansevierias from ikea and they were all just straw like stems, now I know haha thanks
However some have put out little growths on the sides so still hopeful to see full plants :)
could you please do more lithops care vids, I love them so much :) I had all my lithops flower and grow well even cross pollinated some and got seed pods the first year I had them, but then they all slowly died :( still figuring out how to keep them alive several years
Your video really sooper, helpful. After reporting the sansevieria plant from small pot to big pot how water to pour to it immediately after reporting.
I always confused of watering to it.
So plz help me .
Thank you 👍
Nice sansevieria ...👍👍
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
I needed to pull some babies off my sansevieria today, this was super helpful (I wasn't sure if it was okay to just pull them off). Thank you!!
Confirmation 🙌🌿💙🔮!!!!
I am going to add some with my plants today!
Thank you! I wondered why my Ikea plant was behaving the way it did and now I know!
Thanks for sharing ❤️🙏🏽❤️ learned a lot 🤔❤️
Very interesting, didn’t know that about the Sansevieria cylindrica.
I'd really like to get one of these one day. Thanks for sharing Ashley, nice to see you again
Thank you for all the details! 😍😍😍 my neighbor gave me this plant so this video will help me make it more 😍😍😍
Thank you for this video. I have one big pit of this and lots of babies and more babies coming out. It's planter looks likes it gonna burst soon.
I learned so much. Thank u!

Hi, I'm new to your channel and love it so far :) I bought a cylindrica that is pushing 2 new pups. Will these pups fan?

I have some trouble to decide about potting mix
I use soil for cactusses and succulents and they grow well. Originally the Sanseiveria grows in the dessert.
I am new to you, as I was looking up how to separate off my "starfish" sansevieria, as it was labeled when sold to me. Anyways, I really should have watched your video BEFORE I decided to break off mine when it didn't have any little roots coming off of it. So, can I put it in a little water for a few days and it'll sprout some, or will this make it rot? Also, I have snapped off the ones that are at the bottom as new ones have grown out the middle. I just liked how it looked as a "starfish" and not like a fan. I hope that wasn't wrong??? Any response you could give me would greatly appreciated. I was doing this to send to my sister in law in Florida and am just bummed...
Thank you , I wondered why my sanseveria was not growing upwards . I brought one full of cuttings ! And I didn't know what the plant should look like.Fortunately there are babies pushing the flower pot out of shape so I'll repot those as that fan shape is beautiful. Great video
How do you get spears to grow so thick?? I have one that I've had for years, which has grown to many! I've gotten a lot of babies; some I've kept, many have given away & they're all healthy, beautiful & growing - But, the spears, some as long as 2', are always very skinny! Approx. 1/4" at best! So, tell me are some plants just like that or is there something else I should be doing? Thanks So Much for your video! It's the most informative I've seen so far! 😁
Very nice Video, how much water does the plant need?
Is a shallow pot better?? Thank you so much for this info! I bought one and there were 5 large individual and was wondering why they weren’t getting bigger. Luckily some have grown pups. But what kind of pot would you recommend for this plant?
Some of my cylindrical leaves still looks shriveled...like what you showed at the end of the video, even though I deep water them once a week. How do I get them back to its plump fatty look again?
I name my plants, water them with moon water, and place crystals also!
My first cylindrica was definitely just cuttings. And now I have a full plant that I got this year but my original cutting one I got last year is growing a bunch of pups... but none of them are cylindrical? It's just this open leaf for all the pups. I'm so confused.
Supposedly when the plants are young and their roots aren't as well established, the new growth won't be cylindrical but when they develop they will begin to grow cylindrical :)
I just bought one
Ha, ha, two "moms" with lots of pups. Sounds like a couple of lesbians to me. I loved your video and all the information you provided. Thanks!
Ok so I have a braided one, how long does it take until the babies grow out? I've been waiting so patiently ever since seeing this video xD but I've had the plant for like 2 months maybe
My plaint ain't that thick. The babies grow slow and thin. What am I doing wrong?
African plants, native to Angola, southern part of Africa
I think its a different plant. If its only growing vertical. I have been doing s bit of research.
Hi there! I just bought one Braided Sansevieria 5 days ago, put some water cause I noticed the soil was super dried, but It turns out that 3 leaves out of 5 started to languish from the tips to the base of the plant. Do you have any recommendation or tip to save it? thanks!
Its a sanseviera bacularis. Please give us an update because i could be so wrong.
If a Sansevieria Cylindrica has both ridges and the leaf is turning yellow, do I water it or not? I read that yellow means it's been overwatered.
Theres a variety that is just skinny sticks, not thick like that though.
Can you propagate from one whole leaf?
What you have are sansevieria starfish.
That is what I was thinking too, but it looks like they are the same thing:

Oh no I did before I searched. I took my baby’s off right away because I liked the way it looked alone. Did I just murder the babies??? They had a few roots but now I’m not so sure they will survive ☹️
And here I thought the ridges were how they're supposed to look. They're so pretty with the ridges :(
edit: 12:01 I was mistaken, by ridges you meant dips on the shape of the leaf, not the color/pattern XD my bad
What soil mix should I use?
