Whenever I pot a new sans. I tie a soft cotton shoe lace around the whole plant. They love being compact and will grow straight and never get floppy. It also makes it much easier to divide them. Of course I never do this to the smaller hahni ones! My plants look great and stand straight up like soldiers! Thanks for all the great info! Take care, Rev. Jackie 😊❤
I now have become addicted to plants kingdom and your channel as well :) I have now snake plant not more than 7 hours and 7cm height of a clay pot with a hole and a mix of peatmoss and perlite I wish as much as it is expensive here in Egypt to get it grow to the ceiling, as I found that for each 10 cm of height the price is doubled. I wish to have a trip inside the brain and roots of the plant and fulfill all of their requirements:)
I just wanted to add for people checking the comments for this stuff (I looked but didn’t find anyone else talking about it): in my experience with this plant, letting it callous is imperative to not experiencing nearly half of my props from rotting. I was doing 3 days, but increased to 4 or 5, because it was still around 30% loss. Since upping it, I haven’t loss any of my water props, I also notch all of them as they suggested. I’m now at a point where My first wave of props are ready to be switched to soil, and I’m going to be trying a technique where you slowly add soil to the water then over time reduce the amount of water. The theory is it gives them time to put out appropriate roots, again reducing the amount of loss in the transfer.
I repotted my sanseveria exactly as you did, coz ithey are taller snd full , mow i Hot 6 pots , the biggest is so beautiful, thank you, I’ve learned a lot from you. All my houseplants are lush.
Hi! I am watching you from Singapore. Ever since I found your channel, I watch almost everytime. You are a good teacher and very informative. So thanks
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you show us all how to propagate the Snake Plant in water. I’ve tried this but the cuttings rotted long before it had chance to root. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finally an honest real source that tells you how long it takes. I've had one in water two months. I'm trying to save cuttings from a snake plant that had root rot. Six months is a long time. They aren't that expensive. Not where I live.
I pulled out one leaf with a mushy bottom and no roots from an otherwise healthy plant with new growth. I just watched your video and decided to use your second method to propagate. Thank you so much. As usual, simple and informative.
I just planted a tall plant like he is showing with the root. I had to use a moss pole just to stabilize it until it developed a larger root system as it will tip out of the pot. The others that had root rot I put in to water. But I'm going to re-cut in to a V as he recommends. Very good advise.
This video was very helpful! You got right to the point on what to do without any distracting comentary. I followed along with a new cutting from a friend and will be anxiously awaiting my results in about 2 - 3 months. Thank you
You never fail to give new knowledge everytime i watch your videos... thank you! I can’t wait to propagate my sanseveria, really excited! It sparks joy. ❤️
Du är helt fantastisk, jag är Svensk men bor i USA och hittade din Channel, du anar inte hur glad jag är att du finns där för mig nu när jag har blivit galen med att ha indoors plants. Tack så mycket. I will share your channel because you are so detailed and explain everything so well. Thank you.
It’s been four or more months for me!! I change my water once a week after wiping the brown end that’s in the water …no roots! I’m going to cut that V shape on one of my plants (I have 5) and continue to wait for roots🥺🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for explaining clearly.
My Sansevieria is growing like crazy I want to make more to give to my plant buddies - by the way I have to tell you this, my Irish Twin and I both love love love your channel you always have great info have a beautiful day. - Ruthie
I have a fairly large Sansevieria with 9 or 10 growing stems and it is doing quit well. But 1 or 2 of these stems always droop or bend over about half way up. I thought it may need more water but that didn't help and I don't want to overwater it. Is there something I could do to get it to all stand up straight? Or should I remove those parts and start new ones?
Yes! Tie your plant up with a soft cotton shoe lace! You may need more then one if it's really tall! They love being tight and will grow straight up! Just don't bend them in or squeeze too tight! All my tall ones are tied, and look great, healthy, and strong! Good Luck! Rev. Jackie❤😊
My sansevieria original is at least 40 years old! I'm good at not watering. Last year it was so tall and floppy I really reduce it by division and severely cutting back after watching your videos. I cant count how many new plants and cuttings I sold, gave away and threw away. Thanks for all your help
I was very much into propagating Sansevieria in both water and soil last fall indoor. (I used the cuttings in 2-3 inch method). In the end only 1 or 2 (out of 20) succeeds after 6 months (with roots growing out) and I won't say it's growing fine in the last few months. So I've given up propagating Sansevieria. I'll just buy.
Good video as usual. You should do a video about syngonium and common problems with it. I have a pink syngonium that grows loads of new leaves but they dont seem to unfurl properly, but I cant seem to find any real solutions for it
Thx for such great and thorough information. I hope to root some cuttings from my moonshine sansevieria. I have heard that if u propagate using the cutting method and the sansevieria has a special variegation (like sans. whitney or Bantel's sensation) that you lose that variegation and it will revert back to more normal variegation. This does not happen if you propagate using the rhizomes. Hope you can address this in a Q&A.
So I started propagating my snake plant and when the cutting grows shoots, what happens to the original cutting? Does it grow taller or does it die and the new offshoot lives on? I have a really long beautiful leaf that I had to cut the bottom off to save it. So I was kind of hoping that the leaf would continue to grow taller and maybe have offshoots, but that original beautiful leaf would still be ok. It's quite unique to the rest of the leaves from the original pot. I've never really had plants before, so sorry if this is a stupid question.
Has anyone else found that soil props develop much faster? I held onto a couple of ones I cut up, put some in water and some in soil. About… idk 5 or 6 months old. The water ones are just ready to be switched to soil, but the ones I started in soil, most have pups!! One even has **4(!!!) popping up. Has this been anyone else’s experience?
great video mate! for soil,after testing couple of options i went with leaf soil+ peanut shell peanut shell acts both as a compost over time and helps drainage,this can be used both for mature plants and propagation
@@zye.... 80% leaf soil 20% peanut shell,i put extra peanut shells around the roots,works better than the sand to keep the plant steady in its pot,and the pot weight is much lower! :D
Question: I heard that when you propagate variegated Dracenca (formerly known as Sanseviera) snake plant by cuttings, the new growths will not be variegated. I have the cultivars called "Sayuri" and "Bantel's Sensation". What can I expect mine to look like when propagated? Thanks!
Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have tried multiple times to salvage broken Sansevieria leaves by using the water and soil propagation methods, but it has never worked, the leaves get soft/soggy, or wilt. What could it be I’m doing wrong?
Thanks for your super informative video. Going to propagate my Sansevieria 'Moonshine' today as it is getting several pups and looking a bit cramped in its pot. For the water propagation method for cuttings, you mention that water roots start to form after a couple of inches of growth. Is this true for any plant, or just specifically Sansevieria? I've only attempted props in perlite as information from another source suggested any root grown in water is a water root - so I find it quite fascinating if that's not the case for the early root stages!
Hello all!! Can water roots be trimmed to 2 inches before putting in soil? On of my propagated leaves has very long roots! I was unaware of how ling the roots should be. Please advise/help, thank you!!
Very nice and elaborate speech. Very informative. Can you tell me whether Crotons can be used for water rooting? What branch shall I take and how long does it take for rooting?
Hello, I have a question about propagating snake plant leaf cutting. When you propagate a snake plant like the moonshine leaf, will the pup be like the moonshine leaf cutting or look different?
I saw another video where is told that when propagating through cuttings, put in soil or water, the variegation in the leaf(s) disappears, and you het a plain green sansevieria. Only dividing will preserve the variegation. Altough I'm not sure the pattern in this sansevieria here, can be called "variegation". Your comment on this please?
Thanks so much! Love the knowledge you share, always relevant and concise! Question- I’ve always had success with water propagation and my sansaveria cutting actually had pups while in water. Is it too late to transfer to soil? Based on what you said, it seemed I had left the cuttings in water too long!! I am now wondering what would happen if sansaveria pup grows in water… rot?!
Fantastic video! I love this plant. I have a question regarding the Peace Lily plant, the leaves are turning yellow completely. I took a look at the roots and I realized that the roots were growing out the bottom of the pot, so I repoted it and now the leaves are turning yellow completely. What did I do wrong? Help me. 😊😖
The leaves cuttings need 2-3 days dry out, in first two mouthes , the cuttings and bottles inner-wall need clean and wash, replace water every week, place in bright indirect light area.
@@zionlee175 hi, there might also some factor, like the type of water he’s using, im actually a begginer, i bought indoor plants once in my lifetime and they all died😭... glad i came accross his channel cuz i learned a lot, im glad for your comment, i think it’s something to consider too... thank you.
@@zionlee175 yeah, and learned that after watching few of his videos, but now i think im ready to own plants this coming spring season and apply things i learned...
Hi. Is that true to all kinds of sansevierias? I'm planning to propagate my newly acquired variegated Masoniana and my silver blue and I can't really decide which is the best options to choose. Thanks.
My sansevieria moonshine has blisters on the leaves. If I propagate it, will the disease continue or should I cut off the disease first? I love all your videos and especially how thorough you are.👍😁

I am learning a lot from you. Tnx somuch.
What a simple and perfect explanation
Thank you for your superb video.
I tried with a leaf and got a number of roots I am very thrilled. Thank you for explaining everything wonderfully.
How did u tc of ur cutting? In soil or water?
I heard if you want to keep the variegation you need the root, just the leaves you can end up with just green

I am def going to try this!🌿❤️
I have heard that hybrid cuttings revert back to the parent. Is this true?
When you were cutting up the long leaf, you should have done the triangular cut! It would also help keep track of the up and down.
Thanks a lot!
