  • Dividing a large Sansevieria (Dracaena) aka Snake Plant into multiple plants and then repotting all the pieces! Propagating a Snake Plant by root/rhizome division.
    I got this plant in a 10” nursery pot and decided to turn it into a versatile set of plants that can be used as a plant wall. Snake Plants are the best!!

    Have you repotted a big snake plant like this (or any other REALLY BIG PLANTS)? Link your videos in the comments, I'd love to see your process for doing snake plant repottings :D
    Thank you so much to anybody who has taken the time to watch this! Cheers to making new plant friends :)

    Oh my gosh! You solved my dilemma! I was trying to find a 76 inch long by 6 inch wide by 6+ inch tall galvanized planter that I could set in a wall opening between the living room and the hall in my mid century 1953 home. This solves it! I will set a bunch of square containers and run some wire from one side to the other on the hall side and then on the living room side to keep them from falling if anybody should happen to touch them. I actually have some glazed metal square containers I’ve had for many years and never knew what to do with. You’ve solved my problem and got me to use something that’s been sitting around for a long time. Thank you so so so so much. 👍🏼

      Ahh thanks for the support- so glad you liked the video!!😭💕✨ I used a very coarse potting mix with mostly peat moss, fir bark, sand, pumice or some kind of tiny rocks, and perlite. For snake plants I’m not too picky and will use any potting mix that’s listed for indoor plants, but you could also use a bonsai or cactus mix for even better drainage. Hope this helps! ☺️

    I loved this video as I am a beginning Snake Plant enthusiast. My question is two part: (1) When you replanted these did you water them and (2) when you do water them can you approximate about how much water you put in each planter. I am especially concerned about overwatering since there were no drainage holes.

  • @MrMikey1273
    @MrMikey1273 Před 3 lety +1

    This was the best video for what I want to do. I am looking to combine some of these I've had for a while that are the more plane green with some that have yellow and green leaves I just got. Unfortunately I killed part of the old plant by over watering a few months ago so the large pot is empty and probably needs soil with more drainage. So this should help me divide and rearrange them together. Now off to the garden store.
