I have had excellent luck in planting leaf cuttings in soil; they have always rooted. (I did not know that they could be rooted in just plain water.) One other thing - when I transplant, sometimes a few tall leaves tip over because of the new soil and the lack of root growth. When this happens I place a stake next to the insecure leaf and tie the leaf to the stake. In a few months the stake can be removed because the root growth has secured the leaf in the soil.
I had a leaf in soil for seven months. I didn't see any sprouts so i stopped watering. After this I decided to throw it away. I saw it had many roots...so patience!
I have propagating different SANs by cutting up the leaves and yes they do revert.. I do mostly just sticking them in soil and they take really well.I have also grown them in water successfully,I usually put some rocks and chunky charcoal in glass containers and then let them dry out occasionally ( not on purpose) and top up now and again when the soil levels drop. Very easy care! Great tips Jeff! 💚🪴
Hi Jeff, Many thanks for this excellent video. You always give all the information and tips any plant enthusiast needs to keep their plants healthy and thriving. I love this OG plant! I have 6 or 7 Sansevieria and I am always thrilled to find a new.pup pushing up through the soil! There’s good reason why so many people have at least one Sansevieria in their home. 🥰 Many thanks for another great video! Take care. 👌🪴🥰
I like cutting the V notch just to keep track of which end is the bottom of the cutting.
Oh ya...that makes sense too!
That’s smart! Thank you❣️
I dont have a Green thumb.I got my 1st house plant last year.A Snake plant.Its doubled in size,grew alomst a ft & I didnt do anything but water it once a month.Ive never cut the leaves or gave it fertilizer,its not very bright in my house. Its shiny,healthy,great color,never had root rot or bug problems.I used Cactus soil. I just put it in a bigger pot a few days ago. Added some more Cactus soil. The easiest plant ever! Plus cleans our air & its pretty❤ I definitely got lucky..this plant is so durable. Should I keep all of the stalks in the same pot or break them up & make them into separate plants in their own pots? Thank you so much for your information!♡
DO
NOT
BRAKE
THEM UP :D
I had one stem I got from my mother once. It did nothing (or so I thought) for over a year. I happened to pick up the flower pot one day and looked at the bottom of it and there was a new plant coming out the bottom of the pot.
Lol.
I have propagated the leaf cuttings in the soil. As with water propagation, it takes a loooooong time, but it does eventually work.
Okay, nice....hope it works for me!
@@EverythingPlantsI've heard that the new plants that grow from the cuttings no longer have the variegation the mother plant has. Have you noticed this?
Not in water water the starts the stop let dry treat like a succulent
But they look beautiful rooting in a clear glass vase/vessel
That's the way I do it. I cut the leaf, let them dry and put them in soil for succulents. I made the soil wet. Because I live in the Netherlands with a cool climate, I put an plastic bag over the pot. To give them warmth.
I put the pot in the window on the westside and left it there. Sometimes I lifted the bag, gave the cuttings a little bit of water and now, after a few months....I see new shoots!❤
You're absolutely right. I'm terrified of overwatering my plants and many of them are shriveling up. It's taking me a while but I'm learning to not fear the water. My new motto: "Water, let dry completely (not two months later) then water thoroughly again and repeat. Thanks for the informative video.
Sounds like you got the hang of things now!
I have done the soil propogation and it works fine. takes about 8 months but I love the wait.
You have way more patience than I do with this haha
To prevent the cuttings from drying out on the top, you can dip it in candle wax!
Oh very interesting..... Thanks
I live in a mountain town of Panama and sansevierias grow in the landscape here. I saw a clump of them in a public area and one leaf was broken off. So I took it home, cut it into three pieces, let them callus over for a day or so and planted them in potting soil. I keep the pot outside, first in bright indirect light, then in a place with a few hours of afternoon sun. Months passed with no signs of grow, so I unpotted it to see if it had not taken and found--roots! I put it back in the pot and my patience has been rewarded with a new shoot. So it's been a slow process but gratifying.
I put the cuttings straight into well drawing soil and water frequently. They root just fine
Same
Hi Jeff, I have done soil propagation once. Years ago. It took well over a year for any growth to show, and of the three cuttings, only one survived. Truth be told, I was not on top of watering or paying it enough attention…😢 -but apparently soil propagation is a thing.
Thanks for the info.....we will see how this goes lol I report back in about a year haha
I use regular potting soil and haven’t had a problem. I don’t need to water as often.
That's awesome! It's fine as long as you know it's watering routine!
Thanks for the excellent info on one of my favorite plants.
Thanks for watching and there truly wonderful plants
I've not had success propagating. They get pale and soft, mushy and jellied when I put in soil. I will try drying and put in water. . 😊
Well explained and useful tips, nice to listen to and watch 😊🏡
Thanks....I really appreciate the feedback. I hope you stick around for more videos
Hey, I did use soil to propagate. But I didn’t cut the bottom in a v
No issue at all!
Well.. I have propogated them in perlite and it was faster than water prop.. i would say..
Thank you for the information..
Interesting.....thanks!
I have propagated snake plants in soil. They grew just as good as they do with water propagation
I'm just about to repot a MILT and I'll try to water and soil propagate it too.
Ive killed every snake plant i've ever owned (overwatering, i think) but i've got one i'm trying to save that i've put in spaghnum.. wish me luck oh and thanks for your tips your plant is awesome great
I'd be a little leery about using sphagnum moss, but give it a shot and maybe it'll do well. Keep me posted
@EverythingPlants really? Oh noo!! I thought it would be better that water.. so water is better to get the roots going?
@@dianeallen9466 oh no.....trying to root it on moss should be okay. I've never done that method, but I think I misread your original comment. I thought you moved a rooted plant into moss lol
@@EverythingPlants sorry I didn't make myself clear 😅
Cutting in an arrow shape looks nicer in the jar, but more importantly
It is immediately obvious which end is "up"
In FL they grow outside like weeds !
Great video, thank you.
What about when the leaves are paper like ? There like soft week?
Can someone tell me if it will help the plant focus energy on new growth if I cut the flower stalks before they get big and bloom?
Really informative and well presented, thank you
Have you made any videos on ZZ plants?
Yes! Just 2 weeks ago. Sounds like someone needs to hit that notification bell hahahaha. Here you go man!

Hello. I was dyna grow foliage pro 9-3-6
I received a snake plant in a pot Without a Drainage hole. It's floor height. Will it eventually die?
No, but you just need to be careful with the amount of water you give, as there is no way for excess to drain out. You can always repot it or use a pot with a drain hole and place it in that one with no holes
@@EverythingPlants thank you 😊
Is there an update on the soil-planted cuttings?
If my memory is correct lol They didn't last
@@EverythingPlants Thank you! 🫶
My snake plant grows out with thin leaves. How do I get thicker leaves on it?
There are varieties with different sized leaves.... Maybe you have the thin variety. Feel free to send me a picture to my Instagram account so I can take a look
My problem is the leaves don’t stay in a nice tight cluster. 5hey separate and fall over
What type of light is it getting?
@@EverythingPlantsthey are in a bright room. Not direct sun but lots of it. Usually occurs at transplant. Everything falls apart.
Can you do a philodendron billietiae and philodendron Florida green topic..is it normal for the billietiae roots to go upwards in the moss pole?
I will definitely make a video on these. My billi needs to go on moss pole soon!
I have a plan that you’re showing right now and it’s very very long. What can I do?
What are you wanting to do? You can send a picture to my Instagram account if you want me to have a look
My snake olant is shriveled, and i only water it once a week, i live in a very dry climate( AZ) i am ready to just get rid of it
Is it outside? With heat and humidity It may need more water

Hey!
A tip I learned long ago was to put a paper coffee filter over the drainage hole to keep potting soil from falling out. Works like a charm.
I have done this as well
Wow, what a great idea! Thank you for sharing this!! ✌🏼💖
Great idea!
i cut up the mesh bags that onions and potatoes are sold in and line the bottoms with those scraps!
Cheese cloth works as well. Wire screen works even better, if you have it on hand.
I have a large collection of Sansevierias, quite a few that are tall with palmate leaves. These always want to fall over when freshly potted due to the size and weight above the soil level. I finally decided to try rounded river rocks (bought a bag at Lowes) that average 2-3 inches in size. I found by strategically covering most of the soil surface with these, focusing them over roots and rhizomes, that they help stabilize the plant long enough for the roots to reestablish in the new pot. The ones I got are black and actually look quite good in the pot. Once the plant has firmly established you can remove some or all of the rocks if you wish.
Thank you for the tip!
A few years ago I did an experiment with snake plant propagation by leave cuttings. I made sure to keep them all upright as I cut the segments, very important! I put half in water and half in soil, about 8 segments each. After a few months, it was apparent that the soil propagation was so much more successful (faster, bigger new growth), that I moved all the water propagations into soil as well. They are all still going strong all potted up in soil together :)
Is it ok to plant them close or scattered more in the pot as the space allows
@@margaretlatocha1474 I'd put them about an inch or 2 apart from each other, while mine were propagating I had them in a shallow planter with good drainage too
Thank you for the great tip.❤
I didn’t let my cutting callus over. Do you think I need to start over?
@@katrinasmith9048 No, as long as they aren't rotting/mushy, I'd just give it more time.
That re-potting has made a very beautiful arrangement! We don’t often hear about sansevieria, but they are lovely plants. Thank you!
Thanks! There are many common plants that get forgotten, but are wonderful plants
@@EverythingPlantsI was given a Snakeplant as a housewarming gift and was researching how to take care of it. It seems to grow fine just watering it, I keep it in my living room near a window.
how is it possible that the entire plant can grow back from a *piece* of a leaf? 🍃 is this for real?
I did not realize there were so many varieties of sanserverias until a lady at the farmers market brought them to sell. I have 11 varieties so far and I truly enjoy them.
We have this at home and we never really take care of it. I think the only time we water it is when we remember it which is not so often. 😅 But I tell you they look so healthy and baby plants keep popping here and there. 😅
Well you are doing something right !
I have mine planted in too dense soil. Going to repot immediately after getting some bark and perlite
My plant will not grow in height, it’s filled the pot. I will be reporting soon and dividing it at same time. Is there a trick for height?
You may have the dwarf variety called sansevieria hahnii. Check it out online and see if it's similar to yours or feel free to send me a picture to my Instagram account
I admit it I've overwatered mine and had the wrong soil and light, I've had it for 33 years, I always thought it just didn't grow, I've had it for so long, since before TH-cam 😳 I never looked it up.😂
So I've repotted it in succulent mix, put it outside for the summer and watered properly.
Brought it back in put it in a different window where it will get more light.
So now I have it in a smaller pot and it has two growth points and it's leaves coming out are variagated again but it still has a few floppy leaves, can they be fixed?
I've also got fungus gnats for the first time, I ordered some plants online and I think they brought me a multitude of little gifts.
So I have sticky traps and insecticidal soap, I'll go a week without seeing any then I'll find one stuck to the trap🤨
I've seperated all my plants and put them in seperate rooms, I'm water rationining I've changed the soil in 3 of my orchids. Why would they be going to one of my driest plants? I have calatheas and they don't seem to have any and they are kept more moist.
Great job with your snake plant! Now for the gnats....as long as the top of the soil on your plants dry out then eventually those gnats won't be able to reproduce. They love damp soil.
Not sure where you are, I live in Florida, here they do well in pure sand and from what I see they thrive in the shade of oak trees, I find if you put them in a 50/50 mix of good soil and sand they will literally jump out of a container, as far as watering mine get water when it rains, very nice show !!
So long as my wife has a female parent these will always be "Mother- in- Laws Tongues" to me.
Yup
😂😂😂😂😂 are you in the dog house ???
In my country they call the same name “ Mother in laws tongues (lengua de suegra) in Spanish 😂🙌🏻

Direct planting of dwarf Sanseveria leaves in well drained soil worked very well for me. Success rate was 6 out of 7 leaves. Around 6 months from planting till getting new pops. Watering only when soil was bone dry. Placed in a bright spot with lots of indirect sunlight. Diluted 12-12-36 fertilizer during summer + Cytokinin.
Thanks for sharing!
I left mine outside in direct sun for almost 10 hours a day this summer and it pushed out 7 pupps in less than a year lol I would bring it in at night and on days when it was raining. I water it quite often actually during the summer it was drinking a full watering can every other day, during the winter I only water when the soil is dry. It went from a 6 inch plastic Wal-mart pot to a 6 inch tetra cotta pot to a 10 inch. Now I have it in a 1 gallon tetra cotta cactus pot in aeroid mix and it's got 2 pupps taller than mumma and one more lil green knuckle sticking out next to it. Their 4 little brothers live in 3 inch tetra cotta pots and haven't grown a whole lot since I propogated them. The ones still attached to the mother plant are almost bigger than it already. Great video as always Jeff!
Wow! That is absolutely crazy! Did the leaves sustain any sunburn for being in direct sunlight that long?
@@EverythingPlants no actually just as long as you put it out in the morning and let it get used to the sunlight throughout the morning the afternoon sun is like crack for them. At times I had to water twice a day on the real hot ones just don't get water down in the crown like a bromiliad. If you do soak it out with a rolled up paper towel corner. Usually I put mine out early in the morning propped up so the inside crown had light shining on it (I was trying to get new growth from the inside since I propogated a few leaves) or could always see light on the inner point leaf. I also moved it so it was following the path of direct sunlight. Like I blasted this thing with sunlight from sunrise to sunset and gave it plenty of aquarium water drinks. I figured they are from the tropical part of Africa, very close to the equator, so direct sunlight in Wisconsin shouldn't be that intense. I forgot to mention I've had it for almost a year now and through all them repots it has roots poking out of the drain hole already.....
@@EverythingPlants I just made a short of my snake plants if you want to see how those type of conditions affect the growth of the plant. All of them got the same treatment and care nothing different from big to little.
Same. These plants can take intense sun and be just fine. I went out of town last year for a week and left my snake plant, ficus, and succulents outside. When I got back the snake plant was fine, but the ficus and a lot of the succulents were fried or bleached. And snake plant grows a lot in full sun, too. So really it prefers high light, but survives low light
In my country 🇹🇹 they grow inside and outside very quickly in normal earth
Excellent video Jeff. You hit all the points including the fact that they do love light. Mine are in an eastern facing window and we’re hitting the four foot tall range. Yes soil propagation works. I’ve been propagating cut leaves in soil for years, works every time. Just a bummer they revert, but I did a moonshine a while back and the new plant has a really cool neon/ light green colour.
Thanks Nat! I wish companies would just market the plant for the type of care they actually need
Perfect timing, Jeff! I’ve actually never repotted a snake plant, but do have 3 that are ready for new homes! I’m thinking of combining all 3. 1 is moonshine, one is laurentii and the other is unknown variety. 2 are short 8-10” and laurentii is 25” or so. I think I’ll do exactly as you did to see if it’s aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for sharing! ❤
I have yet to get a successful probation from leaf cuttings 😢
That was great to watch. Very informative. You always make it so clear.
Sometimes it doesn't always seem clear to me when I'm editing it. So thank you for the kind comment
Insoil it takes about 23 days to grow. Give it some sunlight water about 8 days apart. Not too wet. Terra Cotta pots drinks from the bottom.
Excellent information and a rock solid reminder of basic upkeep for this often forgotten plant.
Glad it was helpful!
I've had the same snake plant for years, ever since I dipped my toes into plants. I got a nice big one in a 2gal for $14 because it was mislabeled as a kangaroo paw or something like that. It is so forgiving. I've gone through and dry-rotted out all the roots multiple times due to underwatering it (fearful of overwatering). It's like it has permanent wrinkles now, they never go away even after a good drink with a root system. For a long time I had it in a corner, although now it's in some direct sun. Nonetheless, it has forgiven me time and time again, punishing me only with something like a yellowing leaf or two (despite not watering for 4months!). A leaf or two also ended up a bit floppy halfway up, so I chopped the top off and turned it into a couple props. And it has pushed out a couple pups ever since moving it!
I'm a bit fearful lately since I've once again underwatered to the point of decimating the root system. I finally downpotted into a 1gal. The original plant was actually three pups attached to a central mother (which was no longer there at the time of purchasing) which is why I'd avoided downpotting (it wouldn't fit unless I cut the rhizomes), but I think it'll be for the best. I think the only reason it could tolerate being so overpotted (due to lacking roots) is because it was terra cotta, so it did a lot of wicking to prevent overwatering - but that also meant I pushed off watering again for too long each time. Of course I'm now constantly staring at it and worried that I'm seeing yellowing that may or may not actually be there. I'm also scared that for once the roots won't fill out (although based on the sheer root mass that falls out every time I depot and see all the shriveled/dry-rotted roots I'm sure it will). There definitely is a bit of yellowing at the base of the plant (where it's normally mostly white), but it's been like that for so long that I think it's probably normal/maybe discolored from the soil/mineral buildup. I really hope this isn't the last straw for it. Eventually I'd like to get some nice clear plastic containers for it instead to make monitoring the roots easier (would be great for a lot of my plants). Based on what you said about cutting at the rhizomes encouraging more pupping, I hope that'll be the case for me once new roots come in. I really don't want her to kick the bucket, not only is she meaningful to me but I don't think I'd find such a tall, full, cheap plant available again! The ones I'd seen at walmart and such are super dense, but not as tall (and I actually don't like the yellow edges).
I've seen people successfully prop snake plants directly into soil, but I'm also quite scared of doing so myself (I feel like I push the drying-out a little too hard to succeed; a larger plant can handle it, but not a cutting). I've found a good middleground between water & soil propping is to use 100% perlite, and then keep the perlite well-watered (but not flooded up to the top). I use 2 stacking cups, one with drainage (so you can let it run if you put too much water), 1 without (to retain some of the water since 100% perlite will let too much flow). The plant seems to end up a bit more accustomed to the cycle of drying & rewetting which bodes better for transplanting into soil, and perlite isn't as nightmare-ish to blast off the roots if you really want to do so compared to something like moss.
I know our beloved Sanseveria have been reclassified as dracaena, but they will forever be sanseveria to me! ❤ Great video Jeff! Been missing some puppy dog cameos though.
Yes.... sansevieria forever!
Why are the considered Dracenas now?
😂@@kimgraham7742
Great information. However, I'm confused why you would rip them all apart just to put them back altogether in one pot. Seems to be unnecessary stress to the plants and root system.
Would make each piece create a pup rather then the group of them already together making one baby.5 “plants” 5 pups. all connected together maybe another one-two. Little slower maybe. 🤷🏻♀️
It looks really good combined in the pot. Thanks for the upload. Happy Holidays.
Same to you!
How do you get them to.grow pups? Mine has new growth from the center but I don't get pups?
BRIGHT light, fertilizer, water when dry and patience (unfortunately) lol
Add liquid seaweed every other week to your water (4ml/ litre).
It looks great as a big full pot 👍😀🇨🇦
Thanks Linda!
I was just considering potting some together to save space. This was the prompt I needed!
Yes, do it! It's a great way to "downsize" hahaha
@@EverythingPlants Its the only way! So hard to part with plant buddies. 🤭🌿
Sanseveria has always been our favourite plant ❤.. Thank you so much Jeff for this informative post.
Hey Jeff, it’s been 9months! How did that cutting straight to soil made out?
It didn't last. Think I need to do it in a separate pot next time.... Just so I can water it a bit more
New subscriber here :) So far I've watched your Jade tree video and this one. One question I have: Do you heat treat your potting mix and orchid bark in the oven or microwave to kill off any fungus gnats or other pest eggs before using it in your soil mixes?
Hello and welcome to the channel! I don't because you kill off the bad and good soil bacteria/etc when you sterilize soil
I’ve been doing this all wrong with these plants. I have 2 big ones and they’re in normal potting soils and ceramic pots. But they look good as I don’t give them too much water. Thank you 🙏🏼
If they're doing good then you're doing something right !
@@EverythingPlants that’s what I figured but will repot them in the spring
When you first water after planting like you did,do you wait until completely dry before next water,or do you treat it like new rooted cuttings and keep moist for awhile
I sliced a leaf and put the pieces in soil. I watered it for about 14 MONTHS. The pieces did not dry at all, surprisingly. I wanted to throw it out so many times, but the fact that the leaf pieces were still green and they had roots kept me hopeful. All of a sudden all 5 pieces shot out a pup! And they grow so fast! Super excited. I used a heavier soil to retain moisture, maybe that's why it took so long or maybe I underwatered at times. I also cut the bottoms in an upside V.
You were probably using a bigger pot thats why it took a while
Thank you for your video, it was very helpful. Mine had significant root rot (I am a beginner who is trying too hard, I need to learn to give them space), half the rhizomes and mother plants had turned to mush and I lost all the roots. I put a few of the non mushy plants in cactus soil mixed with perlite so fingers crossed, as of now, they are still alive. I had a lot of leaves so I did a few experiments to try to get them to root. I put some leaf segments in soil, some in water and some in damp sphagnum moss in a clear container with a lid. It's been about 2-3 months and the ones in sphagnum moss have a ton of roots! Between 1-2 cm, no new growth points yet though.
soil prop works. I'm lazy, I forget my plants. Soil where leaf cuttings were was usually totally. I put a bit water when I remembered. It took a long time obious reasons(6 month) but one day they started to grow. And now I have a mini snake plant. Oh I live in Finland...no sunshine or warmth for my plant...but it grows!!!
Hi Jeff! I need to tend to mine too! Great video! I love snake plants. 🐍 😊
Thanks, Mona
Hey Jeff the soil propagation is the only way I propagate snake plant leaves and I've had nothing but success with the soil propagation method. I have so many baby snake plants it's unreal and I don't know what to do with them. I don't know if I can swap them for other plant cuttings because I'm not really involved with people in the plant community.
I have many different species of plant cuttings if you or you know anyone who would like to swap some plants.
I started with one as a house plant. I had to put them in the garden. I use them in the back of the flower border around the house. But I'm in FL.
CORRECTION: They THRIVE the best in FULL DIRECT SOUTHFACING SUN, i put mine in full sun and it is growing RAPIDLY, someone i know has just put theirs in full sun and it has grown 4 NEW LEAVES in A WEEK
Oh ya.....they love sun
I used 100% perlite to propagate mine and it rooted very quickly. i planted it in soil several weeks later but I haven't seen any new grow and it's been 6+ months now. Does the base of the leaf have to be exposed to the light in order for it to send up a new leaf? why isn't mine growing new leaves, just roots?!
I know they say the pot shouldn't be too much bigger than the plant as it likes to have the roots snug but how much does that hurt the growth?
No....I've never had an issue. With this new pot there is a bit of room on the sides for new growth. Pick a pot that's slightly larger than the plant itself
I've been very unsucessfull with the leaves propagation method...
Somehow the cuttings i put into water kind of soak up and then rooten up... Any idea why or hor to prevent?
I have had good luck with putting the cuttings in soil. It takes several months before I saw the new growth but it was all good. I live in eastern Nevada, USA. It is dry here and I watered the cuttings as if they were succulents. Thank you for your informative video. I always have trouble knowing how deep to plant the cuttings. Lisa
I tried once with soil and they died haha. Thanks for sharing your experience
Bring all your house plants into the shower to rinse off the dust and they will it.
Hi Bro, another easier way to know if your Snake Plant is "Underwater" by slightly squeeing the Leaves... if it is Soft, time to water. If it is firm, they have enough water. All my different type of snake plants are watered ONCE A MONTH (every end of the month) to make it easier to Remember ... all good. Hahaha😊
Thanks for the tip!!!
If it’s under a grow light how far should it be and how many hours?
better propagate in perlite, just a bottom of water in a glass of perlite and the leaves in the toplayer of perlite, the moist that evaporates does the leaf make root easy , this method gives less rotting , and it is possible to check the pieces from time to time. just keep a bottom of water in there. especialy in colder climate this is more succesfull, in cold water the roots just dont come and your leafs will rott away.
Great job. Snake plant is one of my fav condo/ apartment plant low light. I’ll try to replant one day. 👍🙏😜❤️🇨🇦
Hey! Thanks for watching
Good video on snake plant
Thank you so much!
It looks nice it just looks too packed for me. Thanks
i did soil propagation...it took long time but yeah it works
Nice!
I have a snake plant that is about 2 years old. It is very slowly growing. I think I will try different soil in the spring.
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving
Thank you! You too!
i just found your channel and learned so much about my new favorite plants. could you please share the name of your water sprayer? the mist looked so gentle thanks
I would use very little or no orchid bark in a snake plant soil mixture. Orchid bark does retain water and will not allow the soil to dry as quickly as it should. Orchid bark is great for plants like orchids and other epiphytes that would naturally live in trees. I also use bark for my Christmas Cactuses and its relatives. Those plants have roots that need air and need to dry out some but not as quickly as cactus and other succulents. If you have any issues with overwatering at all orchid bark with a Sansevieria is going to increase your chances of root rot. It does not allow the soil to dry at the correct rate. They can classify the Snake Plant whatever they want but it is a succulent in that the leaves hold water and the roots extremely dislike being damp for long periods of time. They can take some neglect but overwatering is deadly. Use the same soil that you would use for most cacti and succulents. Most big corporations that sell succulents or cacti soil do not put enough drainage material in their product. Unless you buy from a small company that hand mixes their succulent and cacti soil you will need to add additional perlite and/or pumice to those commercial mixes.
I would also reconsider packing that planter so full. If you give the Sansevieria the right conditions it will be popping out new sections regularly. If the pot is already packed full it would run out of space rather quickly.
Helo how are you
Hop you will be fine
I always watch your videos
That so informative
I am also gardening from last two years
And have also Crassula Ovata, Gollum and Hobbit and other 100 plus plants variety
Thank you so much
Hello and thanks so much for watching my channel!
It seems to me you should not put all the shoots back into the bigger pot, but put half of them in another pot, so they'll have m,ore room to grow. If you put them all back and even add a few cuttings, you may have to repot them again within a year.
I wanted a full pot FAST! I am aware that eventually it will out grow the pot, but will plan on removing those new growth points. Thanks for watching this video and hope you check back for more!

My grandmother once told me up can't kill a snake plant, they were so hard. I have to rifed several times to grow them with no success. They were always long and thin and didn't stay upright as they grew.
i just came across this video. how are the plants doing? will you have an update?
They're doing great up to now. There are a few new growth points as well
This was so helpful.
Glad you liked it!
Mine are in full English direct sun for a good 5 hours a day (when its not raining) and they are huge
