How to Care and Propagate Snake Plants | Sansevieria Whale Fin

[@bluemoon3699]

I was at Walmart and I saw this 4" snake plant. It wasn't even in a pot. It was laying there roots all out waiting to die. I used to work there and I know they would throw it away. So I picked it up shoved it back into it's pot & bought it. When I got home I transplanted it. I named it "Lucky" cause it's lucky to be alive. It is very happy now. It has grown 2" & had a baby.

[@SquidDesign]

I love snake plants now... I used to look down on them as though they were the McDonald's fast food of the plant world... but have great appreciation for them now. One propagation tip that has helped me which I believe has made a difference. I find I have much better success rate and faster root development if I let the cuttings heal for a week before putting in water or soil. When I put them straight into water, many times the cut will get soft and start to rot. It takes some patience but I think it's worth letting the cut dry out a few days.

[@kgktan]

I was like you too,but now I have found out that it's such an easy going plant and refreshes the air in your home, I begin to appreciate it.

[@vuedanto8576]

Thick leaved plants need to heal before being planted, if not then they will absorb the moisture and become soft and mushy and rot.

[@flosaforo331]

Great video covered everything I needed to know. Appreciate you taking the time to make this video and help us out with our beautiful Sansevieria babies. One of my favorite is the moonshine I’ve also lost some of these plants. I learned a lot from watching your video and think I’ll be a better plant mother because of it.

[@lynneevaskevich4291]

Perfect timing for this video…I just bought a medium size Sansevieria that was literally busting out of its pot with a new 2-leaf baby the same size...Now I know where to cut, and not to be afraid to cut! I refuse to call them snake plants because I have a phobia about snakes. 😳 They will always be Sansevieria to me. I also have a large Mother-in-Law’s Tongue. I do love all plants that only need to be watered once a month! Thanks again! 💕

Hi I'm new to the snake plant not really new new but far as is propagation stuff I'm new to it and I just got a piece from someone and I would like to know if I could just stick it in the soil and let it go or if I need to cover it up or anything can you help me out

[@BrittanyMarie27]

@@Patricia-uu6wo I’m fairly new to propagating too. But all I did was stick it into the soil and watered it every time the soil dried out. They need more water when they’re just a cutting. As soon as a baby pops up you can water less like how you’d normally water a snake plant. But you don’t need to cover it. Just put it in a place that gets a lot of light

[@escapism2to1]

Thank you so much for admitting a snake plant can be killed!! I have the toughest time with them b/c I can't seem to read the signs...are they thirsty or not? I think I've killed a number of them from severly underwatering them and one from over-watering. And let's not talk about propagating them....I've NEVER been successful. I can't wait to finish this video so I can hopefully learn something today & figure out why people say they're so "easy" to care for.🤦🏽‍♀️

[@hayleywilsonthomas_]

I’ve killed one before, when I was first getting into plants. Right before they took over my life lol. After that I was nervous about them in a way. Now I have 4 different ones in my house that are doing great and are so easy to care for. SNAKE PLANTS ARE THE BEST, I love them so much now and will try propagating to make even more! Great videos, very informative 💚

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

That’s awesome. I think to really get to know them and like most plants, you’ll have to go through the rough times like overwatering...but eventually you’ll learn from the experience so that your future plants can thrive. Love snake plants too, I just got me a moonshine

[@Justme68ification]

Great video! I have learned over the years that SnakePlants do not like to be waters often. I too precise a Whale Fin that had a twin growing and separated it right away. Within a year, both plants have me a baby. So now I have 4. Will probably give one to my friend.

I am a Sanseviera and Hoya and orchid cactuses lover. I went to a nursery one day and they had a Whale Fin they were about to toss as she had a big circle of dry leaf in the middle as it froze during transportation. I got it for almost nothing... to thank me for saving her from the garbage can, she gave me a "baby" few weeks after... not she is about 2.5' high... in less than a year... a real beauty. I also have (besides 5 more species) a Moonshine that I have to separate as she is bursting her pot... I think I have something like 10-12 babies in it. I have Sanseviera for ever since my mom gave me one of hers when I was young and I never lost one... yet... when I moved very far away 25 years ago I had to give all my plants 😪 ... my Sanseviera was giganormous... I was heart broken to give them away but I was not able to bring them with me, sadly. I love your videos... and your cat 😊

I had a pot in my bathroom that started dying on me and I managed to save one lone leaf by propagating it in water. Took forever like you said but it finally grew roots and now I have all alone on my window sill. I water it about once a week and so far and it's still there not changing. It's not dying at least but I'm anxious for it to grow some babies.

You mentioned how the leaf takes forever to root. What you can do let it callous overnight then dab some aloe sap on the cutting and plant it in a pot with damp soil. And let it be and just wet the soil when it starts to dry out. I hope this helps. I live in the Philippines and I grow them here like weeds 😀

Great explanation of separating the pup from the mother. I didn't know that you could cut into the rhysomes, so that's very good to know.

Hi Christain, I killed a snake plant a couple of months ago from overwatering. I have never been able to get the leaf cuttings to root. They rot. I have tried in water and dirt with rooting hormone.

Hopefully it will take off sometime soon. As usual a fantastic informative video.

Hi Alice, that’s good that you know how your snake plant died to help you with your future ones and that whale fin is one you don’t want to kill, like you said very hard to find and $$$. They are slow growers I find that the baby that they’ll shout out will eventually outgrow the mother plant 😆

I just bought a Moonshine today that was basically bursting out of its 5 inch pot. It already produced 2 pups and from what I could tell from just looking at it, it was made out of 4 initial cuttings crammed together into this tiny pot. When I got home I figured I'd let it acclimate to my room a little bit before I divide it, but I ended up dividing it immidiately, because I noticed some weird white powder leaking out of the bottom of the pot. I got a little concerned, cuz the good old internet told me it was a fungus, so I thoroughly washed the plant and treated it with some organic pesticides to prevent any infection and pest attacking it after the whole process. Anyways, in the end, I got 6 Moonshines for 10€ total with another tiny pup already in the making!

Great video! Could you please do an updated video showing the water propagation was successful or not? I'm curious to find out. Thanks

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Yes, we’ll for sure do an updated on in the future...hopefully it doesn’t take forever 😆

Mine are tall and always fall to the side, so I've tied them not tight, but enough to keep them upright. Why do they fall?

Is miracle grow plant soil ok for the snake plant?

[@louisabyrd1713]

My whale fin is starting to die on me. I took it out of the soil and there are no rizones on these plants. There are only roots. But it is rotting around where the roots are. What should I do.

[@patrickhodson8715]

I've had 2 snake plants die on me. The first one I think I divided it wrong, and I might have overwatered it as well. It never looked healthy, and only got worse as time went on until it finally died. A couple years later, I thought I'd try my hand at it again, and this time I was much more careful in repotting it, and much more intentional about its watering schedule. I named him Harambe. He did really well, shooting up new growth. He had some dying leaves around the edge, but the one leaf in the middle looked really nice. However, as his name suggests, he met an untimely death. He had been sitting on my desk, and one of my friends reached to grab something on my desk and by bringing his elbow back, snapped Harambe's biggest, newest leaf right in half. I tried to splint it, but it didn't heal, and ultimately Harambe never recovered from that incident.

I left snake plant cuttings out awaiting til the end got calloused. I saw though that sap transpired from it and some parts were partially sunburned. Can this be saved? Can I cut the sunburned parts and water propagate it?

[@Mumthaz_latheef]

Hi I am from India. Always watch your video. I like it. Very informative with high speed. I usually propagate Snake plant through division or leaf cutting . Both are eásy.. leaf cutting grew faster in a wet soil in dark condition. Love your plants and green planters it looks very beautiful. Bye...

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Thank you. I’m going to put my leaf cutting in soil, it seems to be a better method than water. Thanks for sharing

[@isa_n1037]

What is the trick to get broad leaves? Love your channel X

[@yvonneyvonne7636]

What soil or frtilizer are you using for your snake plant

[@nehaarshad2666]

The roots of my snake plant are coming on top of the soil. The plant is doing good. It is neither droopy or dry. Does it mean i have to repot it ?

[@Alizardlovesyou]

I love your plant shirts! 🌱🌿🌲♥️

[@erickanyc8907]

I was wondering why you didn't put the detached leaf into soil. 🤔

[@ofpine]

it's usually hard to propagate from a single leaf, especially in just soil

[@fignewton0000]

Can I cut a leaf that has developed a brown spot in the center of the leaf or should I do a full division and repotting? My drac. whitney has like 3 brown spots on the same plant and the spots feel wet to the touch (so I try not to touch them)

[@shannykinredgate3451]

My favorite!! So many are on my wishlist. A whitney, a coppertone, bantel, omg Danish Crown! Have you seen the "baseball bat" variety? *gasp* lol I do just love sneks🐍🐍🐍

[@wanderrhea]

What size of pots do you put them into?

[@paulwoo804]

Hi, any special soil it likes best?

[@noreendelapena5609]

I just got a whale fin sanse from a friend but unlike what I saw from your video, the leaf has small roots and don't have a rhizome. Maybe it was not properly detached from the mother. I planted the leaf right away but I did not water it first. Will it survive? Well, I really hope so.
