- Snake plant propagation is easy to do but for some reason there is a huge infatuation around propagating sansevieria by leaf cuttings. While propagating snake plants with leaf cuttings can be fun it is not the best method! A lot of people have a high rate of failure with leaf cuttings and they also take FOREVER to grow. That is why i recommend propagating your snake plants through RHIZOME DIVISION. You will see that they grow so much faster and you will also have a near 100% success rate.

Sansevieria are wonderful plants and great to have around the house!
Totally agree!! Have you tried propagating them before?
Wisconsin Wonder Garden trying to propagate them now using leaf cuttings but I think they’re not going to make it. I don’t think I let them callous long enough. Put them in the dirt too soon. :-(
Gardentastic well you’re not alone! I think it’s just an inefficient method of propagation and rhizome division is just superior. I’ve had a lot of feedback from people not being able to grow them on the leaf cutting video I made. Which is why I’ve been wanting to make this video, to help people choose this method instead of the latter 🌿
@@ExpeditionHomestead the problem is...if you only have ONE plant and you want to grow more, and there are no "babies" with rhisomes, then one cannot propagate it this way! I have several sans varieties that do not have multiple growths to divide. Most people do know about divisions. Same as perennial plants. Some of us are trying to make more of the same SINGLE plant that we have...yes, we are desperate plant addicts...😂😂😂🤦 Yes, I have TONS of the common types of sans. Of course the other problem is some of them revert to parentage when propagating because...well that's just what they do! 😢 Anyway, thanks for the vid on division for beginners 😀

Just a note for all plants after 50 some years of growing things I dont know why potting soil has got so fine like coffee grounds and much of it comes prefertilized. I did that once fertilized forgetting plants I just repotted had it in the soil and almost killed them. For years now I mix cactus soil or playground sand, not outside dirt into my potting soil. No plant likes fine mush dirt. It either dries out or stays wet because you think it needs water. You can get a water gage also at nursery stores. I got one that also doubles with a PH reading. I moved rural high desert 3 years ago where the tap water is quite cold even in summer from the mountains. I add a little warm water to keep it tepid. Especially in winter. Killed 2 from cold shock until a local friend asked me if I water straight from tap in winter. I also pretty much ignore my plants when potted up. Keep them on verge of death. Not really but indoors not many plants need watered once a week. I also double pot. Plastic inside ceramic. Keeps soil warm and moist longer. Dont plant straight into terra cotta. A few times a year or more water plants complete through in sink or outside and let drain to remove salts and build up.
You have a stunning collection! Thank you so much for sharing such great tips with all of us!!
Thank you. Good to know Snake Plants (aka "Mother-in-laws Tongue") is "bulletproof." Perfect video for what I needed!
Thank you!!! This is exactly what I needed to know. 🙌🏽
Great tips! I might have to go buy some pots and divide mine soon. Sounds like a great winter project!
Thank you! It’s definitely fun to cut them apart 😁
Thank you for this video. I would like to know how I can help my snake plant have more shoots.
Thank you for the video. Thank you very much. Finally , normal, a human being talking and showing how to. We are sick and feed up with the videos with music instead human voice talking. Like what ? people do not kn ow how to speak no more ? So keeping this in mind, I thank you very much for talking , explaining step by step using your voice. God bless.
Awesome info, as always. I just started a new job as a Campus Safety Officer at the University in town and go into the greenhouse every night (not exactly on the necessary rounds lol) to be sure that the plants aren't causing a ruckus... There are some of the biggest sansevierias I've ever seen in my life in there. I will post photos on my Instagram. I work overnight so I'm sure I'll never get to talk to whoever runs it so I am thinking I might leave a note :)
Plantastica hey, I’ve seen some plants misbehave in my time! Good thing you’re checking in on them. Can’t wait to see them :) I’m sure it would make a really cool video if you could interview the gardener!
I know, even just a tour if I can have permission to shoot in there. Things are really overgrown and old, like it’s more of an old personal collection, but I love it!!
This is the best method
I have three varieties of snake plants and i propagate them this way and they always grow
"These plants are bullet proof" -somehow kills 3 of them-
That’s me with mint.
Probably you over watered
Thank you a TON! :D
Well that's simple.
Thanks
I learned loads watching this, thank you!
Good to hear! We have over 200 videos in our library now so feel free to explore 🌿
@@ExpeditionHomestead Me too! Thank you .. cheers to cleaner air 🌱 🪴
Awesome video!
Beautiful plants 😘👌❤️💕💐
Great video. I just got my plant and it was already tall.
Is September a good month to make cuts for propagation? I live in Montreal
Will try this method. thanks.
Sansevieria are wonderful plants
Nice video and nicely explained
Thank you...from PHILIPPINES
Wow! Thanks for watching! 😎🪴
hi. i had to put my repotting project on hold for the day. what is the best way to store the rhizomes/leaf sections that i have separated? let them sit out? stick them in water? please help! i don't want to kill them!
Super helpful, thanks!
My pleasure 👨🌾 thank you for watching!
Hi I’m planning on propagating my snake plant via rhizome, how do I know when it’s ready to be separated from it’s momma?
Very informative good video
VERY NICE VIDEO MY FRIEND
Do I neet to wait for it to have leaves and be above the soil? Mine has one of these just under the soil
Good information 👍
Thank you!
My rizhomes does not have any leaf yet. Will it die if I cut it and put in water or pot it separate? Or grow new leaf?
is it required to water the saplings after planting?
What do you suggest for rhizomes with no roots?
When separating a clump of Sansevieria, if the rhizome is also cut close to the mother plant and also close to the pup, can the unattached rhizome segment be planted in the hopes of generating additional pups?
nice show ripley. there one of my favorites, also. i have many different varieties. i do like the spoon variety, though small its one of my favorites. i did lose an old plant this year to a gnat infestation that i didn't get to on time. chez la vie. carmine.
Thank you! Yes so many differ varies and all quite easy to grow too! The next variety on my list is the banters sensation whit is almost totally white 🌿
bantel is the one variety i don't have. it grows tall and thin. it's on my bucket list. cp.
carmine petracca I’ve been hoping to stumble across one somewhere but have yet to even see one in person :p
there is a guy on ebay that sells them. lookup sansevieria and this guy has an unbelievable list of plants. i can't remember his name, but i will find it if you can't. bedtime now. midnight here. rest well. cp.
will my snake plant die ? it got ripped out of the pot and it only has 1 root on it can i stick it back in soil to grow more roots ?
How big should the shoot be to transplant? I have a couple only 2 inches tall or so. Is this big enough?
So when you say “regular soil” .. are you referring to Potting Soil, then 25% peat moss mixed in?
Does separating rhizomes make a snake plant grow more rhizomes or is it better to keep them together if you don't need to separate them?
i spent 45 dollars on plants todays. i plan to make that up by selling cuttings and the pups! wish me luck! ^-^
Good luck!! Thanks for watching :) be sure to check out the channel if you’re looking for more fun gardening projects 🙂
I have cutting like that from my mom… but it does not have the little roots. Do I need to propagate the other way now? It does not seem to be taking root
What if I just break off the rhizome/baby plant without a knife/ rough cut with my hands? Will the baby snake plant grow?
Can we keep cactus indoor .
Muy bonito Like
how long should the rhizomes kept? can it be around 5 or 6 inches? or should it be shorter? (i got few and their rhizomes are quite lengthy, and i don't cut them too long with assumption they need it for energy)
Length can vary quite a bit without any negative effects as long as it’s longer than a couple of inches your cutting will grow great.
Do you put bark in this soil?
I don't have any antifungal of fungicide powder. I mixed turmeric powder with the potting soil and planted then again. Now I am scared they will die. Any idea if it will work? or do I need to go buy some fungicide and dig them up again and smear them in fungicide?
Do sanseveria bore flower?
it's bob smoley's garden, ripley. cp.
Thanks! 🙏
What is the name of the cactus that was remove before cutting the snake plant?
Other then over-watering, can someone tell me why my sansevieria is so droopy?
Hello I need help! Someone gave me, a snake plant started, but it’s doesn’t have any roots, I put it in a pot with soil, I thought it was doing good, but my kid pulled it out and I noticed after like 2 months it hasn’t rooted, not even A but, what can I do? shouldI put it in water until roots?? Help
You can keep in soil or put in water, maybe try changing up your watering regimen a little bit to trigger it to root. These things are very slow growers
This info came at a great time since I'm about to divide my sansevieria. What is the name of the tall skinny cactus you moved out of the way?
Good to hear! Glad i could help out. That is a cholla cactus.
I also have a video on how to propagate that in my CZcams library
I got two “bundles” of snake plants from Trader Joe’s - each comes from an individual shoot, and has several leaves per shoot. However, it’s cut clean at the bottom - no roots. If I just leave the two shoots in water will roots emerge, or should I cut each leaf off and put them in water individually?
Keep them all together and also you can just leave them right in the soil at this point :)
Should I water a rhizome cutting more often if it has no roots?
How did your cutting turn out? I have a rhizome with zero roots
I broke the new shoots and I want to know if even without the roots will they grow?
They may, it will just take much longer so be very patient with the little ones 🪴
I have a rizone cutting with three leaves but it has no roots. If I put the rizone cutting in water with the three leaves on it, will it grow roots?
Out the cutting into soil , not water :)
Please help me. I had ones that looked like this and cut it off the main one, but it only has 2 tiny roots that are like less than an inch. Is it ok that I put it in water to grow roots like a pothos would?
Same here. Without knowing anything, and being a very beginner, what I am doing is to wait a day or so for the cut to dry, and then put it in water to see if the roots get bigger before planting it in the soil. Am i doing something wrong (beside the initial mistake 😅)?
@@mmarco88 hello Marco it looks like I wrote this comment a year ago. I ended up just putting my cutting or pup I mean in water, but it was rotting so I ended up setting it aside for like a week, sealing it with unscented candle wax at the base like the very bottom of it so it doesn't rot, and then setting it in water. It has grown very well and I haven't removed it from water. The roots have not gotten much bigger but let me tell you, the leaves there's so many of them now and it's like a water snake plant now!
HELP !!! My Sansevieria leaves are starting look a bit wrinkled. I tried to propagate the leaves via cuttings. The soil looks moist still. Idk what is wrong with it.
They do tend to wilt up a little bit and they take a long time to grow from leaves so patience is necessary but I did make a video on rhizome division which is much faster
I did this and it hasn't grown at all in 2 years, it's still green and alive though, any idea why?
Hermoso por fa ir habla en castellano .Gracias
I cut one of my pups before watching your video. So, I didn't cut up close to the main plant and there are no roots. Will it still grow?
It will still grow but will just take a little bit longer
@@ExpeditionHomestead Thanks for your quick response! I’ll be patient.
Oh my... I am watering my sansevieria once a week for the past 3 months... it seems fine tho.
Haha that is very frequent!!
Pani kitne din me dete hain ap?
Mine was bullet proof until it got root rot and now I gotta take cuttings to try and salvage 😂
Aaaaahhhhh!!! Well I’m sure you’ll do just fine, patience is the biggest factor with this plant :p
To propagate should you leave the plant cutting into direct or indirect 🌞
I would keep in indirect light for the first month or so.
white trifasiata bantel sansevieria.
can i put the baby in water instead of replanting it in soil?
Absolutely!
😙
Am I the only one who’s going to say it? This isn’t propagation. 😅 This is just removing pups from the mother plant and repotting them. Great video, but I was expecting to see a fast method for propagation that I’d never seen before lol
If you look at what the term “propagate” means I think you’ll clearly see that this is a form of propagation. Thanks :) but this really is the fastest method of multiplying your snake plants by far, taking cut segments of the plant instead of rhizome will take about 10x as long to see the same amount of growth. Unless you’re trying to make thousands of plants it’s just not worth cutting the plants leaves into sections. Happy gardening 🧑🌾
Propagation isn’t just from cuttings. Planting a seed is propagation. Dividing plants is propagation.
@@matthewmclean1429 She's an attractive woman based on her profile photo, so this is probably the first time anyone has told her she is wrong...
@@JuanMendoza-qd5lm lmao you’re not wrong there
I was scared he was going to have to propagate his fingers🤭
