- Have you tried to root Sansevieria cuttings by water or by soil, and they're rotted out on you? This video contains one secret that no one is talking about, and additional tips to ensure that your cuttings don't rot out!

You are right! No one is talking about drying it out. I have been researching everywhere! Thanks for confirming it.
I've done it both ways and been successful without drying them out too, but it's a good practice to let them dry out :-)

I have never suceeded... n end up buying. They all die
@@gwenbatoon5262 same for me.. They r not original... Hybrides then no result.. All ll die...
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
This is totally what nobody is talking about! Now I know what I've been doing wrong. Haha. Thank you R Raphael, this saved me and my babies! 😝
Happy to help! Let me know when you try again and it works! :-)
THIS TOTALLY WORKED. I let it callous over for like 3-5 days, then after 2.5 weeks into water, roots have appeared. Thank you so much Raphael! ❤️
Thanks for unselfishly sharing with us the most important task in water propagation, that is, to dry the cuttings for 2-3 days. This was never touched in all vloggers I watched. God bless...and we'll be delighted to learn some more from you.
By far the best video I have ever seen and I have been watching a week worth on Sansevieria!! Thank you so much!!!
You're so welcome! And thanks for taking the time to comment :-)
I like you! You are always to the point quickly, clearly and simply and also thoroughly. Great work! Love you videos.
Omg THIS! Thank you so much!! I began my cuttings in water and they rotted I was so sad. I now have several cuttings drying so that I can try the water method again. I like rooting them in water so that I can watch the process. Thank you again.
You're so welcome Macy! Keep me posted on your progress :-)
How long did you let the roots grow in the water before transferring them into soil?
It took me a minute to adjust to this. I'm so glad I stayed with it 'cause I just really like you. I enjoy the heck out of watching you talk to us. Expressiveness is a gift. Your face and movements and teaching are so very alive. Oh my gosh! - Your knowledge and ability to pass that on in a way I can understand ...!!! Thank you. You are personable and honest and incredibly, well, incredibly smart. I let my huge old friend snake plant, oh man I can hardly stand to say this -I let it suffer and then die. It was part of my soul. Always way. It also gave birth. For years. And, I let it go. I was not ok and let so much of my life go so it was no longer possible to "care for" anything at all. So I watched it happen. Tried what I thought I knew. it just kept leaving. I have a tall clear glass vase with a few stalks now. Down to this. And, I fear.... so I'll pray that these make it. The loss of my old monster snake plant still haunts me. This started 2 - 3 years - till now. The disintegration. I will hope that these salvages will pull through. And, if not, that I will say to them what I say to all things, "Well done, my good and faithful..." as Matthew wrote. Thank for letting me be far too verbose. I appreciated listening to you this evening. It was refreshing! Your connection to plants. And to us. Connie
Thank you so much Connie. You are very kind :-) I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck with your snake plants. Don't lose hope because we all learn from our failures and they just make us stronger.
Excellent video. You covered most of my concerns in propagating this plant. Thank you! 🧤
Glad it was helpful!
For those with ADHD and having issues getting through the video like I was, but find his information valuable, you can put the video on x1.5 speed. ❤🙏
Thank you. Everything you mentioned in here has happened to me. Now I know why. And no one has said to let them callous. No one. Ty
You're very welcome, and good luck! :-)
I’m fairly a new plant owner (1 year) and honestly since I discovered your channel (IG & YT) it helped me a lot. I had a hard time with watering my plants initially but since I followed your method of soaking/thorough watering the plants I noticed improvement (I water them once every fortnight being winter where I live then will do once a week when it gets to summer). I just recently started water propagating so I’m loving this vlog. Thank you and I look forward to more of your vlogs❤️.
I'm so happy that you're seeing a lot more success since you modified your watering! Thank you for commenting and I will continue to create more videos when I can!
🙏🏽YOU WERE SENT FROM HEAVEN!!💫 thank you so much for this video and bringing so much clarity to the reasons for my rotted clippings! You’re awesome!! New subby here!
You are so welcome and thank you!! :-). Good luck!
Hi fr. the Philippines. Thanks for this video so informative and yes, the drying out leaves portion is new. Usually some vids I saw just demonstrate the leaves cut and potted right away without airdrying.
I've done it both ways, but it is better to be safe and let them dry first :-)
Very helpful informative no one else mentioned this.Thanks so much👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for mentioning you should first let them callus over before putting them in water. Everyone said to do that before putting them in soil, but not in water as well.
I've put at least two dozen of cuttings of whole leaves (of different sizes) in water a couple of days ago, and now I noticed literally all of them have started to rot! Crazy how literally no leaf was left healthy. I've cut the mushy parts on all of them and I'm going to let them callus over for a day or two. Hopefully, they'll do well once I put them in water again.
I've also cut some leaves in sections, let them dry out for two days and then potted them, and now they look like they are drying up and dying. The soil is fine, but it seems to me they dried out too much when they were left to callus over.
When doing the soil propagation method, you'll have to keep the potting mix more moist than you'd think. I'd still let the surface dry out, but don't let it go completely dry.
@@OhioTropics Thank you very much for sharing this video and 👌👌
This is so helpful, thank you for sharing these tips!!
Glad it was helpful! :-)
Thank you for the tip to dry out first . All my leaf cuttings have been rotting for past attempts
You're very welcome! I hope you have better success next time!
Thank you for being so thorough!
You're very welcome Joyce!
Actually no one talks about cleaning the slime and how often to change the water. Great tips!
Glad you enjoyed it! I found that it's very critical so I wanted to share!
Wow! Well explained. I tried it and it gets rot. Thank you for your amazing blog. Full view and enjoy it.
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
You are great!. I've watched several other people and was put off by their silliness, so glad I discovered you. Thanks
So glad you are enjoying my channel MaryJo :-) Thanks!
How to manage during winter when there's not much light.

You can always supplement with grow lights :-)
Great tips.. haven't any luck before. Will try again... thxxx
Good luck!
very good explanation, as a newbie 1 week to be exact, you give tons of helpful information
good job and thank you
Glad it was helpful for you :-)
Thank you so much, very helpful. Fingers crossed I have more luck this time 🤞🏻
You're very welcome and best of luck! :-)
Thank you so much ~^^ cleaning is so important in my experiencing ~
Now im so clear about that ^^
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for the video, this was exactly what I needed to know!
You're very welcome Mary! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Tku very much :) I have successfully propagated my snake plant after a month. It kept rotting in the beginning until I saw your video. This is something no one talks about
You're very welcome, and good luck!!!
Subscribed! Great info, tips, updates, and! I'm in NW Indiana so our climates are similar! Thank you so much! PS, I've always known them as, "Mother in law's tongue"
Glad you enjoyed it Bev! There are tons of common names for many plants but it can also make it confusing for many people :-).
Thanks for the watering tip. That has been my problem. I did not know that you have to keep the soil moist.
This is a good rule of thumb for rooting only :-). After roots are established, you do want the soil to dry out.
Thanks 😊 for the info.
Now I know what to do.
Thank you I did not know to let them dry out. Im going to go make new cutting to let them dry out!
Thank you!!
Glad I could help!
thank u for sharing i’ve been looking for answers
Happy to help!
Thank you sooo much for all your advice! Wish me good luck 🤞😬
🍀 🍀 🍀
All the best!
Thanks for this video! Just right in time! While watching I'm cutting the rotting part off. Drying the other part. I hope they will all survive. I've seen some videos already and no one talks about drying it out first. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Even dry out I putted in water but rotting again
When I saw this I m throwing
Can we cover
Thank you, This was much needed info
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the tips!!! I will airdry my cuttings first esp the whalefin. Will do as well on my other snake plants.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. You are great!! I have watched some other's but they don't explain properly, again I thank you and god bless

Great tips! Thank you so much!💚🌿🌻
You're very welcome Debbie! :-)
Yesss my goodness I was thinking the same to. I was left wondering, are only succulents meant to calluse over...but I've noticed that a few videos don't mention that either with them. Thank you so much for confirming. Love this video
You're very welcome! :-)
Great tips! I totally know what I did wrong now!
Glad it was helpful!
Wish I had found this video sooner. I would've saved some plants and heartache!
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks, you answered all my questions
Happy to help!
Hey mr Ohio thank you for this info it was very helpful and I loved the terrarium it was just beautiful I want one I'll wait for your video thanks
Glad you found it helpful :-)

You're very welcome Jason! I'm happy that you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much. Wow this is a game changer.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips!!🙏🏼❤️
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you so much for this. I ordered a beautiful leaf cutting and I let it callus overnight before putting it in water, but today, almost a week later, I noticed that the bottom was beginning to rot. I just took it out, sliced off the rotting part with a sterile blade and actually cut it in half to try both water propagation again, and soil propagation. In water, I don't think I let it dry out enough before hand. Even though it looked and felt dry and callused, I think one day was too little. I did change the water every three days and monitored the cutting every morning, and today was when I spotted the start of some rot.
Hopefully, with these tips, I can have success with the cutting in water by rinsing off the leaf under a faucet when I change the water and washing the container out each time. And I have some gritty cactus/succulent mix to try and propagate the other cutting and I will remember to keep it moist, but not over water - it has excellent drainage, so I am hopeful.
Did it end up working for you?
Very nice way of explaining very good video
Thank you so much 🙂
Ahh, good tips! Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it, and good luck!
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Good job 👏 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Many thanks for this video! Question: do I need to dry out my cuttings IF I’m propagating them directly into soil? Or is the drying process only for cuttings using water propagation?
It's a good idea to do it for both!
Thank you so much friend
Love you
You're very welcome :-)
thank you!!
You're welcome!
I tried to propagate but once the leaves got soaked for a couple of days it rottens. Thank you for your tips. I wish I will be able to propagate my golden sansieveria using the tips I learned from you. Thank you and please update more videos.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and best of luck when you try again!
Very useful tips, thank you! For water propagation, how long would it take for the roots to grow as much as the one in your example?
You're very welcome! It can really vary drastically. If you have a lot of light and warm temperatures, it will happen much more quickly. I've heard of rooting occurring anywhere from 2 weeks to several months (in very poor conditions). For me personally, probably about 2 months before roots start to form.
Thank you so much. I can now save my snake cuttings.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much
You're very welcome Rose!
Aaaahhhhhh no one said you need to dry it out just like dragonfruit cactus thingy.. thank you so much. My cutting are trimmed so much now cz the my have been rotting 😭😭
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You're welcome!
Hey there! Would you do a video on your aquarium setup looks great! Please & ty.🙏 💚
I will try to in the future!
im a new plant mom, just started about a month and since then i watch a lot of plant related videos and this probably one of the best tutorial I've watched.. very very informative! thanks for sharing that. im here because i water propagating my snake plant for 3 weeks now and no roots..
Hi there! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and good luck with your propagations! It's a test of patience for sure :-)
Thanks!
You bet!
Thanks alot.
You're very welcome!
I followed the video and was successful in water propogation though i didnt dry out the leaves.But what the most imp advice is you need to change water and clean leaves every 3 days and also ive observed that cutting the leaves in an 'inverted v' shape rooted soon than the straight cut ones.
Glad you had success!
After the roots start coming in, using the water method. When can you plant the snake plant in soil?
You can put it in soil now if you'd like. I like to watch the pups develop. If you don't care about that, you can place them in soil right now!
Your video is very informative. Do you let the cuttings form callous over three days when potting in soil? I know you said when putting the cuttings in water, but not in soil. Thank you 🎋
Yes absolutely! It is important to do regardless which method of propagation you use.
Hello! I just have one question please ! How long should I let them dry out maybe like 3 days ? Before I prop ? Awesome videos thanks so much ! Very helpful
You're very welcome! Yes, 2 or 3 days should be sufficient :-)
For soil propagation, can I ask how do you know when the roots are full established and you can scale back the watering? Thanks for your help!
I have the same question :B Today I finally saw a new pup/grow emerging and now I'm like: ok, so what now.... the soil still needs to be moist or I have to treat the whole thing like a regular sansevieria and water only when it's completely dry?? 🤷🏻♀
This is a great question! I would scale back the watering when you see the pups emerging. But I would still not let it dry out completely. Maybe let the top inch dry out at the point where you start to see pups. Hope this helps a bit! It's not an exact science :-)
Outstanding information! So, aren't those water propagated "Dracena's" ready for dirt? How long can you keep them in water and would there be an advantage. I used sand in my latest mix and now wish I would have used Perlite. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video :-) I propagated them this way mainly because I wanted to observe and document the process for my blog. You can keep them in water indefinitely but they will do better growing in a potting mix. If they are looking ok for you with the sand that you added, don't bother changing the potting mix. Everyone's conditions are different so if you're having success, keep your mix the same! Hopefully you used a coarse sand? Fine sand will cause too much compaction of the potting mix.
Hi!! As a new plant caretaker, your video is very much accurately informative that has similarly claimed the same thing with my researches. This is so underrated! You deserve more views and subs. Thanks for this!
Anyway, I also have a question. How will I know the age of a snake plant? Thank you!
That's so nice of you to say Patricia! Thanks for subscribing :-)
Age of a snake plant yeah??
I killed my ficus weeping tree. Can you do a video about those? Love your channel
Glad you enjoyed the video :-) I will try and make one in the future!
Same with Jade plant cutting. Let dry for 2 weeks, then plant in sandy soil.
Thank you
You're welcome Mary!
Great video! Thank you :) Would root growth hormone be of use with Sansevieria?
Glad you enjoyed it! It can certainly help and speed things up, but it's not necessary for rooting. :-)
@@OhioTropics Thank you for taking the time to reply! :)
