I’ve seen a lot of videos of re-potting plants where they loosen the roots but they never explain why One has to do it. I learned something new! Thank you
Glad to help! :-)
Thanks for the vid. Nice to know these work with cactus mix, because it's a lot more convenient to just buy one big bag of soil, instead of a bunch of different ones.
Glad it was helpful!
This was very helpful! I got my first sansevieria cylindrica today and I've never done repotting before. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I like how you explain everything. Thank you. Very informative! 🌱
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the info, hoping to see more videos🙏
More to come!
Thank u 4 this video! I just ordered my first set of 2 Sanseverias n needed to know how to replant them. So grateful! 🌿💕
Joie Schmidt You are very welcome Joie!
Wow. Those are georgous. thank you for showing this particular repotting.
You're very welcome!

Thank you so much plant master. Awesome tips.
Glad you enjoyed 😊
A new fan from Utah ♥ Love your plant repotting tutorial. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I really liked this video!
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
thank you so much for posting this video! planning to repot soon, but i'm waiting for the perlites to arrive. can't wait to see my snake plant grow!
^_^
You're very welcome and have fun repotting! :-)
excellent video, thank you!
You're very welcome Shannon!
Very informative thank you
You're welcome Pat!
Nice work! I wouldn’t have used water right out of the faucet, but whatever you’re doing is working for you.
Patricia Lisowski Thanks. I have too many plants to do anything otherwise. 😊 Rain water of course is best.
Nice info
Glad you think so!
sansevieria saya suka dan juga mengoleksinya
Oh I’m so glad I found you. I bought a sansevieria that is glued into a pot with very small rocks glued in. Someone told me it would never grow because it was just cuttings. It was braided but I loosened that. Suddenly I saw little baby growing. I was very excited but had no idea how it burst through that glued rock. I cannot loosen it. I’ve banged it but I don’t want to harm the plant. So should I repot? I just don’t know if I should leave it alone til it gets bigger or repot
Glad you enjoyed the video Lorri! These are pretty incredible plants, and often times if they're left in the same pot for a long time, they will even literally break the pot as the root system grows! If you can't remove the glued rocks, maybe just leave it. It's so frustrating when plants are sold this way! If the plant is not root-bound, I would leave it in the same pot for now. Good luck!
Great and informative video explaining thoroughly för beginners like myself! Is it common to place a plastic pot inside with the plant, but still cover the outside of the plastic one with soil? Is that done solely for the aesthetic or does it have a function? Either way, it turned out beautifully - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video :-) This practice is pretty common. I like to do this because when it comes time to repot, it's always easier to take a plant out of a plastic nursery pot. Another benefit is that you can slip the plant inside any decorative pot that you want and even change it up! There is no right or wrong as long as the plant is growing in a pot that has drainage holes.
Anyone that says you water to much probably makes number 1 mistake of potting up plants in pots without holes.
Muppet You are probably right!! Good point!
If you feed some triple low release fertilizer around the roots, it’s growing more fast and healthy!
I'm a fan of slow release fertilizers, or very dilute liquid fertilizer solution applications :-).
Thank you! This was super helpful and informative and I feel much better about repotting my snake :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
The little babies you are calling new growth are actually pups and you can take them off and have more Sansevierias. Other than that love the video!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video. How did you achieve your plant to be kinda short and with thick and straight stems? I have three of them and they all are long, thin and flopping over. I do love the wild look but I’d really like to have some of them more neater looking like yours 😁
It was a newer plant at the time that the video was made. More light will help your plant grow more sturdy though :-) Don't be afraid to give it direct sun. They can take it easily (especially indoors).
hello, thank you for a great video. My plant is getting yellow on the top of its spikes. What am I doing wrong? How can I prune it and get to be green again? From what I have read, I shouldnot cut the stem on the top or between, I should cut the whole stem from bottom? can you please help?
Once the tips turn yellow, that leaf will not grow any new green tips unfortunately. Have you kept your soil super dry or perhaps even wet for too long? Those can both cause yellow tips.
hello and thank you for sharing your knowledge. can i use miracle grow potting mix in place of the cactus,palm, and citrus variety? just trying to avoid expenses as i only have the one plant. thanks again.
Yes absolutely! It will retain moisture for a bit longer, so maybe do 2 parts of that potting mix and 1 part perlite. You should be ok. Only repot if it's really pot bound, and when you do repot, only go up the next size up. For example, if you have it in a 4 inch pot, only go up to a 6 inch pot.
@@OhioTropics thanks a lot!
I just bought a tiny little pot of this variety of Sansevieria. There’s 6, 4 inch tubes. They seem to be rooted but I’m assuming they’re just young cuttings at the moment. Should I repot them all together but spaced out or leave them in a clump? I can’t find much online on what to do with cylindrica cuttings.
Hi there! It really is personal preference. There is no right or wrong. If you want a fuller plant, leave it the way it is. These don't grow terribly fast so it may be a good option. If you want more plants, you can divide them. There is no right or wrong.
@@OhioTropics they are not growing fast because they are cuttings and not a mother plant. Cuttings only grow an inch or they really don't grow much at all
Great video, ive had this plant for 4 yrs now all of a sudden it’s drying and I think it’s rotting, I probably over watered, is there a way to save it or is it too late? Thank you 🙏🏻
Something to think about that may help...So many people think that everything is caused by overwatering. In many cases, when I ask people questions about the potting mix moisture, often times it's quite dry. Many people are scared to water properly, and/or are keeping their plants in poor light. I would actually feel the potting mix, rather than just assume that it was due to overwatering. I also would not use a moisture meter. I'm not sure if you're using one, but they're awful. If you keep your plant in good light in front of a window, are watering thoroughly , and letting it dry out in between watering, that's all you need to do with these plants. Hope this helps a bit!
Thank you for the detailed information. Why are your plants not in a starfish formation? Someone on another channel said this was because these were cuttings, rather than an original plant. Do you agree?
I'm not sure what you mean by starfish formation? They naturally grow just like the plant I have in the video.
Yes those are all cuttings but he did get some pups off the cuttings
Heather, thank you for your clarification and taking the time to respond.
@@angelaaye6746 of course!!! I was mad when I learned I paid for a cut rather than a plant. The cut did give me a few pups so I am happy about that but the plant didn't grow for 2 years and I had NO idea why! But there are a lot of videos like this one up on TH-cam about sansevieria cylindrica and they have cuts and not the true mother plant! 👍
@@OhioTropics they naturally grow fanning out out looking like a star fish. You see how yours are growing straight up? Those are cuts ✂️ someone cut them from a plant and put them in soil. They will not grow anymore. Take the pups off from the cut and replant the pups! Then you will see the difference of how they truly grow 👍😀🙂
Any advice you can give about Sansevieria Cylindrica sun/watering preference?
Hi Gaya. Yes, I actually wrote a blog post on the care of Sansevieria cylindrica. Here it is: www.ohiotropics.com/2019/04/26/growing-sansevieria-cylindrica/
I have a plant like that. One of the pieces are really soft and mushy. Can I just cut it off. Thanks Miriam
Yes of course.
Nice video. Do these Cylindricas like to be in a tight fitting pot?
Glad you enjoyed! Yes they do.
Beautiful plant, how is it doing now.
Thank you. It's doing great!
Cual es el nombre de esa sansevieria cylindrica?
A leaf on my plant has turned yellow and shriveled. Does that mean it's overwatered or underwatered? Someone told me ridges meant underwatered but I also read that yellow means overwatered
It can be very confusing and often times, you will get yellow leaves from both of those! When you notice a yellow leaf, or any issue, you should immediately check the soil. It will tell you exactly what happened. In my experience with helping people, many are so scared to water properly that they end up underwatering their plants substantially. My best advice is always to water thoroughly, let the water drain out the drainage holes, and wait until the top couple inches or so (at least) has dried out before watering these again. You can let them get completely dry, but don't wait forever to water again. Hope this helps!
Hi! I recently have bought one of these and the tips seem to be brown with the stem peeking through, is that normal?
It's very common for them to have brown tips. I wouldn't worry about it too much :-)
I have a plant like this one would you be able to explain why the babies are coming out looking like a regular snake plant? I’m so confused..
Unfortunately, they don't all come out to look like the original plant when you do leaf cuttings.
@@OhioTropics i never cut the leaves the new babies just started growing next to the plant and the leaves are different.
Mine too
My plant is losing its roundness stalk. It looks like the baby ones that you have. It is not maintaining its roundness (sorry I don't know how else to explain it). What could I be doing wrong? I hope I made sense here.
I would really have to see a photo to help out. Do you have your plant in good light? Are you keeping up with watering?
@@OhioTropics - Yes, I do have in indirect bright light. My watering is pretty good. I have it in a glazed terra cotta. Should I move it to a plain terra cotta?
You are doing nothing wrong. It is just because the cylindrical ones are cuttings (of the tips). The original plant grows in a fan shaped way with several 'fingers'. Search for starfish sanseviera to get an idea.
Do you know where I can purchase the kind that you have in this video? And what’s its name? It grows differently from the Sansevieria cylindricas that fan out.
I actually purchased it at Costco :-)
Hello Rafael, my cilindra plant dont grow. What to do?
Try giving it more light. Where do you have it growing right now? How far from a window?
How do you get your snake plant to grow soo many babies? Thanks.
This particular plant was purchased this way. You can always combine multiple plants in the same pot if you want a fuller pot more quickly!
why the bottoms cut out inside the decorative pot ? .....
Would you generally keep a plate beneath the pot?
Yes I usually do. Or if it's slipped in a decorative pot with no drainage hole, then I don't.
How often do you water?
Hi Nikki! I don't go by frequency. I water when the soil is pretty much completely dry. These plants are pretty forgiving so often times, they go quite a while without watering. When I do water, I thoroughly soak the soil and let all the water drain away.

sansevieria cylindrica grow in a fan like matter and grows out. If they are growing straight up like yours then those are cuts! You should be taking those pups off and get rid of those cuts. Cuts will not grow much at all. They were literally cut from a mother and stuck into the pot.
I was not aware of this. Although I have see gigantic cylindricas in wholesale nurseries that looked like the one I show in the video, but much bigger.
@@OhioTropics they may have grown much more before the cutting took place! If you take your plant apart you will see. It happened with me. I had the plant for like 2 years and then found out why it wasn't growing! I took the pups off 🙏 thank gosh I got pups from it tho!
The ones that grow in a fan like manner are called starfish sansevieria.
How can I avoid the brown tips?
I love your channel👍I always learn something new from you thank you for sharing.
South Rooted OUTSIDE OUTDOORS Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy the channel!
Thanks for your video
Now i know how to repot this plant
You're very welcome Isa! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Rachel Kaffenberger You’re welcome!
I have one of these for a couple of months now and I noticed this week that 2 maybe 3 of those spikes are going wrinkled and a bit loose near the base. Because the weather in Portugal has been a little humid and dark and rainy I think I only watered it once since I bought it. So what I did yesterday was give it a nice soak (its been a while like a month since I watered it and soil was dry) and moved it to a brighter spot nearest an east facing window. Beacuse my trifasciata is doing so well with the same watering schedule and light I was surprised to see those wrikled spikes that I interpreted as underwater. Could you advise if this kind needs any special requirements? I know they love sunlight but all I can offer at the moment is bright light. Thanxz
Patricia Rato I would just keep an eye on the watering. If the leaves are dry and wrinkly, you’re probably underwatering.
thankx!!
@@patriciarato5597 You are welcome!
keşke türkçe alt yazı olsa.çok güzeller 👍
I have one of those plants but its braided,,,,,should I unbraide it???
You'll often see them sold this way, but it's obviously not how the plant grows naturally. You can try unbraiding it if you don't mind the look of it. The leaves will likely stay crooked, but it will be better for the plant not to be constrained. The new growth though, coming from the soil, will be normal though.
@@OhioTropics cool thanks....I will cut the string that's holding the braid together and let it unravel on its own lol
So, next time you repot, will you break with a hammer that beautiful pot?
I assume you are referring to an anthurium that I repotted many months ago that I showed on Instagram. Perhaps you may not have read the caption of that post. The reason I took a hammer to that pot was because I didn't want to damage my prized Anthurium that I've had for over a dozen years. The plant was worth more to me than an inexpensive terra cotta pot so this was the safest way I could take the plant out. I reuse the broken terra cotta pot to use as pot shards to cover drainage holes when I repot other plants.
Shouldn’t you let the roots dry up for a few days first because you loosened them up? This should prevent root rot.
No, not for repotting. You would do that for cuttings only.
You look like Kevin Spacey
Lol, I've been told that many times.
HVALA slabo jer znam u vecu saksiju,Al druge sadnje od njih
Too many in that little pot. There should like 4 regular or 3 twisted together in that same pot, that's why you had to repot again.
It is not too many in the pot at all. Actually the twisted ones are very bad for your plant's growth. That's not how they grow naturally even though some stores sell them that way. If you like the look of the twisted or braided ones, you can do that, but you'll find it will be a lot of maintenance and your growth will diminish over time.
