I actually repotted 5 of my plants but you only see 2 of them here. The others I did as an arrangement & that’s coming in a future post & video. I call this project the “Snake Plant switcheroo” because I swapped out containers & locations they were in. Sansevieria, also known as Mother In Law Tongue, handle dry air & lower light conditions like champions!
After the repotting was finished, I moved them to a shady place in the garden. I let them settle in for a day and then gave them both a thorough watering before moving them to their spots in the house. Anyone else as crazy about Snake Plants as I am?!

The yellow pots really bring out the beauty in the plants. 😊
Oh Yes, I too love the way they accent the yellow edges of the Sansies. Nell

Wholesomeness begets wholesomeness. Your energy is incredibly pleasant and therefore your community and your comment sections are as well. Just discovered tour channel today but I can tell I’ll be sticking around for a while.
Hello Nell I almost killed my Sensavaria but I learned just in time to not water them so often and now they are growing and producing more leaves and I owe it to your channel and the great information you give us.. Thanks for everything
Really love the yellow pots with the plants in them. Just looks beautiful. Nice work🙂
Oh my god, they look wonderful (as do you), and what a great choice of pots! The yellow looks beautiful and energetic, especially with the colors on the plant.
Yes, I love those yelow pots too! Nell
They look fantastic in those yellow pots! Thank you for the great information!

great vid, you're such a funny lady. Yellow pots good choice, especially the unusual shape of the vase type. Keep up the good work!
Finally repotting my baby after her 1st birthday! So excited and nervous
They looks great on those yellow flower pots! Thx for sharing your k knowledge. You are so helpful!
Love the yellow pots ! I have little snake plant I bought back in the spring, we are into the monsoons ( July to August off and on ,) here in northern Arizona ! So ,I have promised this cutie a new home ! I was going to separate the plants after watching your video I am going to find that yellow spray paint and paint a urn type pot in that glorious yellow , I love yellow also ! Thank you for your instructions ,I wasn’t sure about the type of soil mix to use for this cute plant . Bless you and your family, have a wonderful day I wish you more luck then you’ll need ( from a Jimmy Buffet song) and now to work making my little Sansevierias happy ! .......... if I sound a little ditzy .. that’s because I am ! 🤠
So happy I found you. You work with your plants as I do. Lay paper down... easy clean up, same tools & I believe you are the 1st gardener I've seen on TH-cam who wears gloves. I love plants but for many years I have thought my townhome was too dark. After watching many videos I can now look around & see all the wasted spots I've missed. I have recently given homes to 6 plants & have found I can bring 12 more in, perhaps more? Wish me luck. I'll be watching you. Thanks.
I have over 30 of these beautiful plants my tallest is about 4 1/2 feet tall and over 30 years old. It's a blooming momma that's been past down. We call her the big mamma, she grows like wildfire in my apartment. She loves being in the corner in low light and water 1 time a month. I have had to separate her 3 times. I finally put her in a giant pot . Once you divide it they will grow like crazy.
Please make more videos :) I love your energy and enthusiasm it is so cute and fun! Also you read my mind I just found you and the topics of your last 5 videos are literally what I’m dealing with now for the first time :)

I really love Snake Plants! They are one of my favorite house plants. What a great finished product Nell, they look beautiful in those yellow pots. :)
Thank you. I love Snake Plants not only for the way they look, but for their ease of maintenance. They even do great here in the Arizona desert! Nell
I underestimated how EASY they are. I always recommend them to friends who can’t keep plants alive 😂
Just ..Just ..Just ...excellent....!!! I have 8 snake plants for re-potting. I will follow the guidelines. Thank you Madam.
It looks great in the yellow pot! You always pick the best accent colors!
"Here you go - now you can enjoy your Mother Plant'' - I love the way it sounds... :-)
Lovely video, thank you so much, it already made my day better! Cant wait to have my first snake plant as well.
This was a very good video and this woman has very good energy and funny at time but I can tell she loves what she does
I love your plants! So pretty!! Great video!
You’re ok, girl🌹. Love your very natural videos and commentaries 🌹.
Many thanks from Eastern 🇨🇦 🤗.
Hey Nell! As always love watching your videos, but especially the "Snake Plant" ones. It looks great in your yellow pot! I love how many leaves grow at the same time. The one you planted in your yellow pot is the same kind I have. Would you ever consider having a page with pics of plants your "fans" send in? :-) Keep up the great work!
Loved this, thanks so much for your effort am a fan from here on in!
You are a joy to watch i love your attitude about everything
One of my favourite plant to collect 🌱❤️🇦🇺thanks for your tips you inspire me to enjoy gardening more 💓❤️🌱🇦🇺
Thank you for all the info! Your videos are such a joy to watch & really have helped me!
thanks for sharing. I just bought this plant today so was checking more description.
Thanks for the tip about the soil you use you are doing a great job repotting. I will try to use that mixture.
I never thought of using Yellow pots. You now have a new subscriber from Brampton::)
Hi. Thanx for the great video. My question is: can we seperate that plant into individual plants each in a different pot.
Great video! Thanks so much. I just bought my first snake plant, and am wondering if I need to replant from the plastic container it came in, it if I should leave it for a while? Thoughts?
Your vibes are immaculate ✨🌿🤍
Excellent video - but for a plant that lush, I’d be dividing it to make 2or3 new ones and gift the extras to friends. Won’t it get rootbound too soon? Alison, Sydney Australia
Lovely guide :) Thanks! and you are funny too! now I know how should I pot my Sansevieria!
Awesome job... I simply love the yellow
Thanks Sherry, I love yellow too. Such a happy color! Nell
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous and precious Sansevierias....loved your pots..."Santai Bersama Nanai"
Fabulous... ! cheers for sharing love this flower so much their easy to care of... hi from Cyprus
Hi Nell, that's a great video. I "inherited" a snake plant from my mom. When I got it, it was in this small pot and had fungus flies in it. I dried and aerated the soil. Over the course of two weeks, they died off. The plant started taking off after I got rid of the pests. She had it in a pot that I felt was way too small, so I bought a bigger pot with a reservoir at the bottom. I transplanted it into potting soil with feed and after that, under the same conditions, new shoots disappeared in literally days. It's still a healthy plant, as the new shoots are still growing. It has three "leaners" and I'm glad you addressed that in your video; I thought something else was wrong.
I was thinking of getting some root stimulator with potassium, as when I transplanted it, the root system wasn't that vast. Any ideas, please? Again, thank you for the great videos!
You are adorable!! Love this 😁
Just repotting some of those plant today as well
Good timing then. Nell
Hi! Loved your video. I bought a few of these plants from a yard sale and they just have one tall (approx 1.5ft) leaf in each pot and I find it looks sorta silly with just one leaf in a pot. Can I add them all into one pot? Thanks!
i'm so confused. how do they drain once you repotted them? the yellow pots doesn't look like it has holes....
I love that yellow paint pots
beautiful. goes well with the yellow pots.
Thank you! I really like them too. Nell
I love all of your videos. One question tho....After repotting my snake plant do I water right away? If not, how long do I wait before watering?
i loved this!! you’re also very entertaining 🌱💕
Enjoyed this video and I learned alot. The snake plant is my favorite.
My snake plant rots the same time of year now two years in a row. The first it was my boyfriend overwatering it so much that the wood floor was even sporting a rot ring! I took it outside, dried it out and let it grow outdoors for the rest of the summer. Removed all the squishy rot roots and replanted the good. It grew back lovely all through fall and winter and then in spring the rot came back. Probably because my boyfriend and that damn watering can! So now I've got about one good piece left. What size pot should i use for it?
It’s really a struggle sometimes to transfer them that’s a good one pulled it out so easy 👏👍
Gorgeous
I’m a couple years late but yay! This is a fun video. Thank you thank you
Class video, great tips and love your humour 😁😁
What would be the best time of year to repot? I live in Ireland, and I have a sansivieria superba which is growing babies (yay!). I don't want to shock the plant so I was thinking around March next year? Would that be OK?
do you add the succulent mix first of compose first?
Mine just bent since last week.I repotted them in a turquoise pot.But I would need a matching pot to place them in my living room
Currently I only have one plant in a pot. Does new babies grow naturally nearby? Or I need to propagate?
I’m so scared to repot my snake plant! How can you tell if it really needs to be repotted? This is my first plant that has really done well (even had a baby last year that grew huge too).
so informative, thanks for the great video, have a great day!
TH\hank You! Great instructions posted on your Blog.
I'm so glad I watched this..I'm repotting snake plants soon..and wanted to change the colors of my existing pots and was afraid to spray paint them..but I'm not afraid to now after seeing this! Georgous job!
That looks great what material is the yellow pot?
needed to watch a video for my spider plant, found you- i am HOOKED!! I love!!!! subscribed!!!! I have videos of my plants too 🌿💘🌹 love from PA 💭💐
Hi Nell! How are you?
Great Snake Plants!
I have a medium size one that is really growing well. It is not shooting up new stalks. Am I doing something wrong? Your's seem to have a lot if new growth.
Where do you buy your worm casting? I want to get some and see if that would make my plants look like your's.
Enjoy!
Gerry
It might be the species 😬
What kind of potting soil and compost do you use for this snake plant?
Can’t wait to get my snake plant.
Wow! Amazing
Nice yellow pots for sanseveria
been trying to find out if there's a best time in the year to repot the plant, so far no good uh I guess it doesn't matter
Love your personality! Helpful video :)
Can I put my sans in a vase with decorative rocks?
I like that color you did a great job
Helpful and quick to the point. Thanks!
Do i have to remove it from the boack pot it came in from home depot?? With the holes at the bottom
Would it be beneficial to add any orchid bark to the mix?
I learned something today , that it’s ok to paint used pots , Thank you. I love yellow too, so cheerful also I was thinking about buying a mother- law ,plant it will be plastic. I am 80 years old and not easy to take proper care of plants any more, I love 💕 plants so I will just keep a few. I love house plants. Love watching your show. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year , to you and your family and the people who watch your videos
Enjoy your video thinking to repotting my snake plant thanks for your advice
have you tried growing sansevierias by seed? i might try.
Hii mam Namaste. I have kept some cuttings of snake plant since 2 months but I haven't found baby plants yet! !
Beautiful !
You're so funny! I enjoy your videos!😁
When I repot mine, I always break apart the bound up plant. It seems to do well, but I see in your video that you just plant it back all together. Am I doing it wrong?
Personally I would have made about 10 plants out of that overcrowding, and would have just soaked the lot in a basin to eliminate the soil so there'd be no need for a knife, but I am no expert
Do the pots have to have drains at the bottom? I know you mentioned that you should use soil that drains quickly but what about the pot itself?
Yes. You do not want water stuck in the bottom soil. You want the water to be able to drain.
Thank You ALWAYS ENJOY.
Thank you for watching Thomas! Nell
#JoyUsGarden mine has done that hanging down for some reason. I've had it almost 3 years now and it's 2 In that pot that looks as if they want to run away LOL..
I Dont have a clue why but id love to know if I try to propagate it do I take the entire plant out root and all or just cut it where it is bent?? Tyvm
Pretty insightful!
Can these be planted in the ground?
Did those pots have drainage holes?
So beautiful ❤️
Love your videos
Is there a hole in the pot?
Hi I have a question, my snake plants went without water for 4 months so I thought I’d give them a little water, but leafs started to rot, why can’t I water them like a normal snake plant every 3 to 4 weeks? I literally did not water in a very very long time 😐
Hi Nell. what would cause a snake plant leaf to bend and turn yellow? I really don't bother it much since it's low maintenance so I don't what could be the matter. Any ideas or tips would be much appreciated. thanks
Hi - As you saw in the video, the outer leaves of a Snake Plant will sometimes bend over. This I believe is due to weight & the fact it doesn't have the inner leaves to hold it up. Yellowing leaves on a SP is due to too much water, too little water or too much sun. Nell
JoyUsGarden Yes I kinda figured as much, just thought I'd ask an expert. Thank you so much. love your videos, I sometimes binge watch. 😉
Hi I have one like your dark green "mother-in-law tongue" and it actually bloomed this spring! Have you ever had one bloom? I've had this plant almost 20 years and this is the first time! I was so neat to watch it. Just thought I'd see what your experience was with blooming. My plant is inside all year - 6b zone - wouldn't do so well during the winter outside :( Would like to hear your thoughts. Very nice yellow color and pots. Thanks for the video.
I remember my Grandma's blooming once many years ago. If I remember correctly, I think it only happens every 10 years or so but it can be a sign that it is time to repot.
Beautiful 🤩
Hi Nell, Just curious what kind of compost you use for indoor plants? A lot of people say no no no to that so I was wondering what your perspective is on that (altho you and another person I also highly regard as knowing what they're doing with plants also uses indoor compost). Maybe this would make a good video. Thanks!
It would make a good video - thanks for the suggestion! I use a local, organic compost - here's their link: tanksgreenstuff.com/ I've used compost when repotting my houseplants for years with fine results. My thinking is that all these plants grow outdoors in their native environs, so they're just outdoor plants brought indoors. However, as I said in the video, I only use 1/4 the amount that I would with plants growing outdoors. That would be way too much of a good thing. And, I top my houseplants with a thin layer of worm compost every spring. That's their natural feeding! Nell
Thanks for your response!
Hey Nell... love your videos!! I’m new to house plants... so far my Peace Lily & Golden Pothos are thriving. I just repotted them because they were root bound in the 4in pots that I purchased them in. I recently bought 3 baby snake plants in 4 in pots from Home Depot. One has a baby plant growing from the bottom. I want to repot it in a 6 in pot. I currently have Miracle Gro Moisture Control potting mix. Can I just use this or do I have to mix in a cactus/succulent mix as well? The Miracle Gro Moisture Control potting mix has perlite in it but is that enough?? Please help
How do you take of the siderplant
How to make short and bushy type of snake plants
I just bought a huge one and I need advice, if I should repot i as I would any other normal house plant upon purchase and home going. Can any of you plant experts guide me please. It is BIG and I think it has been at the store for a while. It is green and beautiful and healthy, but a couple leaves of like 5 groupings of the plants together, look as if they have been a little abused. Other wise, they look really nice and healthy. It is just so BIG.
Help. What do I do? Repot or leave alone. The internet says leave it alone.
Yay! Another Sans vid!!!
Stay tuned Tracy, because I have 2 more Sansie vids coming up in the next couple of months! Nell
