- Did you know that a Mother-In-Laws-Tongue or Snake Plant can be propagated through division and leaf cuttings? While division does create a clone of the mother plant, a leaf cutting creates a solid green version. Plant propagation through leaf cuttings is a great tool to learn when it comes to learning how to garden. While the steps involved in leaf cutting is the same for other plants that use this plant propagation technique, it is very important to remember which is the top and the bottom of the cut.
thank you for the video. I like how you condensed the information and straight to the point. Love this video. I can't wait to do it myself.
I put mine in water. They've been in water only ... for a month. There are NO roots at all. I'll try your method -- with rooting hormone. You didn't mention a brand. Thanks for the video. It's the best I've seen. Non nonsense and to the point.
Short, sweet and to-the-point. Thanks :-)
I want to try doing that. They are supposed to be good at cleaning indoor air. Thanks for sharing!
Yes they are they purify the air in your room or house
I don't dip because all of my plants grow in hydroculture. However, I have used the same technique and have always been successful every time.
Straight to the point..thanks for the informative video
Straight to the point, I love it, thanks.
Thank you Mindy!
Great video, thanks! Had no idea about using honey.
Don't use honey your plant will most likely get mould
Thank you so much for this great video.
Hello great video, I have one n I watered it too much, I had about 5 leafs on it when I looked 2 of them truned yellow so I repot it but when I did the root ball came off with the soil , so I tried to pot it up n put root hormone on it n it's in soil now , can it be saved thanks. 😀🙋🏽👍🏾
Thank so mush as I had one longer than the rest so I now know what to do very helpful😊
The dip-in-honey suggestion was a bad idea. I did half with honey and those ones have mold now.
I think she should have recommended using cinnamon instead of honey.
Great tips, my plant was close to my central heating were the pot was hot to the touch and the leaves are curling within themselves, how can I reverse the damage besides moving it?
Do you let it heal first then dip it
thanks, but please use a sharp tool for cutting, it hurt to watch you almost tear that plant
true
:D
Loved the video minus the dull shears
Fantastic - thanks for the tips.
Do I need to water it during the 2 weeks?
please give more info about the watering part. the amount of water and the frequency of it. Thanks.
thank you for the video! going to try this morning:-)
What happens to the “Mother” plant that you took the cutting from? Will new growth form from the cut leaf? If you plant a Snake plant into a new pot, and position the plant deeper than normal in the pot, will root grow along the submerged portion of leaf?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I tried and the cuttings won't grow into new plants. It's been almost a year and they look alive and well, but new plants won't start for some reason. Do you have any idea what's going on?
Can I use peat moss to pot the cutting?
That's about all I have currently.
I have a solid green snake plant with a new plant growing out from a cracked leaf. What should I do?
it also does repel snakes
How long does it take from the time you plant the clones to the time you have a full grown plant like on the right?
thank you! im going to attempt this
curious ... can you cut a huge leaf and root it so you get a huge plant more quickly?
Rob Evans the short answer is probably not. It is possible for the larger cut to root, but a larger cutting means that it will demand more water and not having present roots to sustain a larger cutting means that it will probably die from stress during the time it is trying to form roots. Small cuttings and patience are the way to go.
Great tip.
is it neccassory to dip in hormone ? where to get that
Dinu cv No, you don't have to dip. I grow all of my plants in hydroculture, which is hydroponics for houseplants. So, all of my plants grow in a clay aggregate. I have rooted jade as well as snake plants in hydroculture. One thing I do, that many do not, is to create a temporary terrarium environment and that ensures success. After starting a new pot I will wrap that pot and base in clear plastic and tie it down. I leave it this way for about four weeks and this stimulates growth and always ensures success for me.
Not necessary but it help the rooting process and the chances of success
thanks homie
great information
hello my mother's n laws plant grow a another one , n I split them up n they died, what happened, help. 😯😕.
mine turned into mush after a couple days. I didn't even water the plant only pre moistened the soil.
Yeah they are great air purifiers.
HI and thanks for the video. Does it matter when to plant ? Indoor. it's winter in Ireland
Good day Channel 88,
To answer your question, you should plant Mother in Law's Tongue indoors. While you can take it outside in the summer, it will not survive outside during the winter in Ireland. When it comes to planting time, it is normally better to plant any plant in the spring or summer but in this case you can do it anytime. The reason for this is the fact that while the Mother in Law's Tongue can be dormant during the winter, planting year round does not hurt it.
Ok and thank you for the advise , I love this plant. Just wasn't sure I could clone. Merry Xmas too
Happy holidays to you also.
I'm a little confused. Another video on TH-cam says that if the pointed tip is cut or damaged then that particular leaf stops growing at that height. Did I misinterpret the information ?
+Doney Goodflower The leaf will stop growing once the tip is cut.
True, the cut leaf itself stops growing. New leaves will grow from the cuttings.
She kinda reminds me of a female Donald Trump. All joking aside, great video, thanks for the knowledge
+Stephen Bates OMG. she does. but she cool. nd donald isn't.
***** nah Carlos Slim is awesome
Hahhahaha.
Eduardo Conejo piss off liberal
hi, I did the exact same thing but after couple of days the whole leaf became supple and watery .
rohit nikalje me too. but one grow. maybe toomuch water
Cool :) Thank you!
Thankyou.
Please get a new pair of clippers
Thanks
Luqman Hakim indon?
You did say or honey dip it right? And what does honey do?
Niche shnake plant
my mother-in-law plant needs to be cut back how far down or how should I do that and angle down by the dirt can you please help me with myrealltall
Trina Portnerh be patient my friend , you will get your response at the year 2020. 😀
Can one do this now in juli
I stick mine in water
I have tried this FIVE TIMES and every single time they just rot from the bottom up. I've tried it not watering, I've tried it gently spraying, I've tried it with damp soil - IT DOES NOT WORK!
Linda Demick it works with honey
Linda Demick Let the cut callous over then plant it in soil
Now who would put the top in the soil. Lmao
You should eat snake plant to propagate it naturally.
Whay in honey
Christina Von Heidenstam to grow it's roots you can dip it in honey for sometime, then you can grow it in soil.
hahah
mam plz hindi
is she the missing trump sister?
