Snake Plant Propagation (Sansevieria): 3 Ways to Propagate 

Wow. Thank you for your kind words. Glad you’re enjoying it. 🙏🏻

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed and found value in it.

But also very dynamic and engaging. Like… YES PLANTS ARE SO INTERESTING!!! 🎉 I kind of like it, usually short videos (not individuals talking for 20 mins, which is also fine sometimes) are soothing music and calm voices lol. This kind of startled me but not in a bad way

Thank you. 🙏🏻

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the content. Thanks for the sub.

Sorry to hear about your plants, but at least you learned from it. 👍🙏🏻

How are the pups doing now?

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.

Glad you enjoyed and found it useful. 🙏🏻

Thank you very much for watching.

You’re welcome.

You're very welcome.

You are so welcome!

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

It can happen. Depends on the species and how long it was upside down.

@@monstrofarm 3 weeks in sphagnum moss. It's a birds nest sansevieria. I only caught the error when I went to check and that one cutting had no roots but the rest have an inch at least. Next time I'll cut the ^ shape like you did in the video. Feeling foolish now :(

Sorry to hear that. Yes that may be what happened or it was already headed in that direction. Sounds like it may be root rot. Try removing the pot and taking a look at the roots to see if it is. If it is, then remove the soil, spray the roots with hydrogen peroxide and repot in a well-draining soil mix. Then only water when the soil has been 100% dry for about a week. Good luck.

You’re welcome.

You should.

I’ve done it before many times without letting the cutting callous and have been successful. Good luck 🪴

​@monstrofarm I did not let mine callous long also. Maybe 6-12 hours. Will it be okay in water?

Yes you can. Just make sure the cuttings are at least 2 inches long. Good luck.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

My last video on RU-vid will help you with the water propagation portion of it. The more you can fine tune the process the higher the percentage of propagation. If you try and fail, observe and learn you will always get a little better. Good luck.

No. If you're trying to provide support to a plant, it's an established plant and they have plenty of roots. No harm.

Do at the edge of the pot then

Depends. I use different potting mixes depending on the purpose. If it's for propagation I mostly use 1/3 Coir, 1/3 Peat and 1/3 Perlite.

I believe you are asking if it needs to callous over? This is what is recommended, but I can tell you that I have had great success without doing so. That being said, it may be that my conditions ( humidity, temperature, etc) are allowing me to skip this step. If someone were to try it and conditions are different they may not have the same results.

WATER ONE TIME THEN SPRAY LIGHTLY

That will help. Just try to apply when you start to see a root.

Good luck with the prop. Yeah, love the twisted sister. Sorry. Don’t know where to get them. I got lucky a couple years ago at a big box. I may sell one of the pups. Haven’t decided yet.

Orange colored roots is not necessarily a sign of root rot. To really know try scraping with your nail or even your finger across the root and look for it to be mushy and even have a foul smell to it to determine it it is root rot. The orange on the root may have been an iron drench that the grower gave it before it when out or perhaps it was grown in an area with a high level of iron in the irrigation water. Good luck. Let me know if I can help. Also, my latest video is on root rot. Check it out.

Thank you so much for the tip! I ended up doing some cuttings to propagate in case my snake plant doesn’t make it. They’re still growing new leaves which is good! But no roots yet after I removed them. Yes! I watched your video! Very helpful too 🙌

I know what you mean. If you do decide to do it, I suggest you take mix of 70% coir or peat and 30% perlite and keep the soil very moist for the first 2-3 weeks then slowly start to back away the water over the next 3-4 weeks. It can be tricky especially when it's been sitting in water so long. If you do it, let me know how it works for you. I'd love to hear about it.

Please watch my video on caring for Snake Plants.

Water is usually easier but then you need to acclimate to soil when it roots. Were the cuttings from a healthy plant?🌱

Yes. If you propagate a variegated cutting the new pups will not be variegated. You can keep the variegated characteristics if you propagate by division.

Drainage

@@TheSoilandGreen i have 30% perlite in the soil. And still water kills my plants

​​@@GotterVibez Same happens to me, maybe its cold were you live , like where i live. I used to hear a lot that Snake plant "Is super strong" but in reality, its extremely weak to over-watering and cold temperatures, meanwhile, the Cocodrile Aloevera in my yard had a soil with terrible drenage, his pot filled with water like a lake, same low temperatures, and still, it looked so healthy, not a single rotten leaf... I'll try using smaller pots; if the leaves continue to rot, I'll give up and replace them with aloe.

Try again!

I'm all for what is better for the environment, but the jury is still out on that. Really depends on where the peat comes from. Please give this video a watch when you have some time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MvYZdxVipAo.html

The jury really isn’t out. Peat absolutely isn’t renewable, and its harvest releases huge carbon. Alternatives are readily available. Great advice apart from that though😊

To know which way is up and which way is down, but also to give more surface area for root growth. He said it in the video, but I used to wonder the same thing 😅

I have coir available on my website www.monstrofarm.com and you can find the other components on my Amazon Storefront, Link In Bio.

They are, but they also go by other names.

Snake plant, sanseveria, mother in law's tongue

Thank you.
