Snake plant propagation in water (How not to kill snake plant cuttings)
ฝัง

- Snake plant propagation in water is one of my favorites! You can propagate sansevieria trifasciata through a whole leaf or you can cut a leaf in multiple pieces. The bigger the leaf surface is, the faster it will propagate, so obviously, it's better to propagate a full leaf.
Light and warmth will increase the survival chances of your cuttings. Place them in the brightest window, direct sun is fine. Make sure they the water is not cold, it should be between 24 and 26C for optimal propagation (75-79F).⠀
⠀
It can take even 2-3 months to see the first sign of roots, so be patient. I usually see the roots in about 2 months. That's without using a heat mat. With a heat mat you can get roots even as fast as 3 weeks! :)

Let me know if you have any questions. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
It would be nice to see the after photos of them.
Show the root growth pls
Wish you showed us if it touches the water or not...
how often do v need to change water?
And how long does it take to root?
yes same question
You cannot change the water as she have packed the glass😂
Omg. That's it? But the plant is not even touching the water in the glass. Can you show an updated vid? And how/when to transfer it to soil. Thanks.
i am still learning how to propagate my snake plants, but when i propagate my succulents this way, i do this exact method of leaving the bottoms out of the water, this is because when it touches the water it will most likely lead to a root rot. for example i left one hanging too low & came back a few weeks later to it all mushy 😅 the syranwrap, water & sun create a somewhat greenhouse environment and the plant will obtain the water from condensation. that saying i assume this would work the same way with snake plants !
I can't do it this way I just put them in a shallow dish with just a tiny bit of water in the bottom. My spider plants I do the same way actually use old baby food jars let the leaves hang over and only submerge the very bottom of the roots. Works every time. The snake plant only works about 40% of the time but that's common they don't propagate well.
I just tried this now. Fingers crossed!
U can propagate this way but the new plant will be plain dark green leaves it won’t have the yellow variegation like it’s mother plant
To retain the parent variegation you need to divide from the root n propagate to make new plant with same yellow variegation
Interesting 🧐 I like it!
Ek baar or try krungi ab kl 😭 I wish is baar new plant mile mujhe bhi
Did it work? My cutting dies every time
First like First view , nice method 👌
Thanks for liking :)
I do this in soil. I now want to do one in water vs soil and see which one grows faster. I started avacodo seeds in April and started them in water. They sprouted and I left them in that water for 3 months. They grew about 3 inch roots and the sprout wasn't even at the top of the seed. I put them in soil about a month ago and now they are 12-15 inches tall. The growth was super slow in water but soil they grew like crazy.
Hi Lacey :) Experimenting is great! There are several factors that will affect the propagation speed 1) Light 2) propagation medium temperature 3) oxygen. If you increase any of these, propagation will be much faster! :)
Let me know what you find out
The solution to this one is simple. All the hard, boring work was done in the water. You switched them to soil and now the dirt comes out smelling like a rose when it didn't have to do any of the real work.
Jokes aside, many plants root faster in water and they are less likely to get killed rooting in water. Plus it makes the long boring wait more involved and less boring because you get to monitor the progress.
Nice and simple
Thanks
Wow...👍 teknik...tq, regards from Indonesia 🇮🇩🤗
Thank you too
Thanks
Wow!! Cool video. Happy subscribing on your channel 😍
Awesome! Thank you!
You can direct plant in a soil
In water there is a 60% of chance that your leaf will get rotten
Beautiful
Thank you
What you cutoff and left in pot, will it regrow? Also how often do you change the water, and how long will it take to root? I need some answers!! LoL
Change the water daily for few days then gradually make it once in two days or else the cutting rots
I also do this with my snake plant♥️
is this work? ???
@@josorganicfarming2092 it does,i didn't use the plastic wrap nd stuff tho mine started rooting after 1 nd half weeks and now that they have 1 cm roots i just came here to get extra info
This won't grow as a variegated one. I just stick them in the soil.
True, without a piece of the rhizome, a variegated snake plant would revert back to a non-variegated
So u mean we don't need to change water?
Same technology Apply To crassula
Hi, so the leaf does not need to callous over first? Just put it in water.
No, it doesn't need to callous. But if you are having trouble propagating, if they are dying, then try letting them callous.
Mr. Houseplant thank you
Hiiii can u post an update of this video?? How are they doing?? Thx
Succulents propagate in water?
Nic theniique
Can we use tissue instead of thar parafilm
👍
:)
Bhai sahab cutting yellow wali leaf ki lagate hai lekin jab yeh tyar ho jata hai to leaf green aati hai
Does it just hover above the water? About how long until you start seeing roots? Thank you for the video!
No, they are sitting in water. How long depends on the amount of light and warmth, it can be from several weeks to several months
it took me 1 nd a half weeks to starts seeing roots! i placed it in a south facing window sill
Mene try Kiya tha ye ,dil p patthar rkh k to mene leave toda tha mere plant ka or wo bhi khrab ho gya plant nhi bna 😭😭😭
👍👍👍
:)
U destroyed a healthy plant, I do it with scared one!!
If you want to get good results, you should always propagate a healthy plant, start with healthy cuttings
Uuy
Can you use rooting powder? I'm sure if I did this in water it would naturally wash off. But in soil it would work. Never tried it on this. Hmm.
You can use it soil, not sure whether it's effective in water
Hello. New friend here. Watching from beginning to end as my full support with a gift. ♥️♥️♥️ I love plans 😍🌱 ❤️❤️❤️
🌱🌠请问变色这种兰花？
Is the leaf touches the water?
Yes, it does, but it doesn't have to. It can also be suspended above water and it will propagate
Que pena como destrozan la planta , sacarlos de raíz, hay más de uno
why taped it?
How much water needs to be in the container if i am not hovering it over the container?
Just make sure that the bottom of the plant is always in water and replace water regularly.
Sir, yellow boarded snake plant or all green snake plant which releases more oxygen?
Or
Both are same?
I'm afraid I don't really know. I'm sure there are probably some scientific studies that tested this, but I haven't read any. 😊
If you only have one plant, it's not going to make a difference. In order to see benefit in terms of oxygen production, you need to have hundreds of plants. 😊
Bom...
Wow fking awesome
Thank you, glad you like it

Is the leaf sitting in the water or just above it? Thank you 😊
It's in water :)
What do you feed your house plants
This is what I use: www.mrhouseplant.com/recommends/dyna-gro/ But light is plant food. Make sure you are providing your plants with sufficient light first and that they are healthy, before fertilizing.
Mr. Houseplant thank you!
How long do you keep it in water?
Until it starts growing new babies. But you can also stick it in soil right away, right after cutting
No way
Root will come
But baby plant will be green type
Yellow colour not come
Hi, that's true. If you propagate a Snake Plant through a leaf cutting it will revert and the new plant will grow solid green leaves. If you want to keep the yellow variegation, you should propagate through rhizome division. 😊
Do you let it dry?
Hi, if you're asking whether I let it dry/callous before putting in water, I don't, but that would be best practice, you should let it dry
Boynton you know what you mean you
But boynton you

What is thé point in doing this?
You get more plants, or you can make an existing plant look fuller by potting the propagations around it
The purpose of propagation is to get more plants out of a single plant. You can either keep them or they also make a great gift for friends and family :)
You can't reproduce with that kind of snake plant with the same variety.
Hi Alfonso, you're right, with a leaf cutting you won't get the same variegated plant, but an all green snake plant, regular sansevieria trifasciata :) You need a piece of the rhizome with the leaf to get the same plant
Hi
Hi :)
Why is one upside down?
What do you mean? They are all facing the way they should :)
does it touch water?
I was just about to ask the same
No, the water just sits on top just for moisture. The leaf’s stomata collects those moisture from the water.
Yes, they leaves are sitting in water.
This didn't work for me. They started turning into mush 4 days in 😭
I'm sorry to hear that X.
Even if you do everything right and provide the most optimal conditions, some cuttings will still rot. That’s just nature, we can’t control it 🙂We can only provide the best possible conditions and hope for the best. Now, there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of success:
1) Increasing the warmth of the propagation medium, regardless of whether it's soil or water, by using a heat mat. Increasing the temperature by a few degrees significantly speeds up propagation.
2) Increasing the amount of light, more light increases photosynthesis and root formation. Either move the cutting to a brighter window or use a grow light. Don’t keep cuttings a few feet away from a window, but right in front of it. And don’t place cuttings behind walls next to a window - but in front of the window
3) If you're water propagating, use an air pump to constantly provide fresh oxygen to the water. Roots use oxygen and release carbon dioxide. A constant influx of oxygen increases propagation speed. If you’re propagating in soil, mix the soil with perlite to increase macro pores and the amount of oxygen in it.
Hope this helps 🙂
@@MrHouseplant I was ready to hang my hat & accept that the plant life wasn't for me 😅.. I'll try all of this. Thank you so much!

How often do you replace the water?
Once or twice a week
@@Shubhi3012 how long does it take to grow root
@@josorganicfarming2092 It takes about 45-60 days. Other than that, be patient, change the water as much as you can( almost daily if you can), it will root! And if it starts rotting you can just cut the rotten part and start the propagation all over again. Don't give up and Good Luck!💚
@@Shubhi3012 thanks for the valuable information
@@josorganicfarming2092 ofc if you need more info you can still ask! :)
