Snake Plant Propagation 🌵 Are Leaf Cuttings Worth It?

[@sharonobrien4623]

I have taken many cuttings and mini plants to recreate this great mother-in-law’s tongue. After viewing too many videos I found yours so refreshing and to the point (I hate 30 minutes videos where people actually go away to find a stick). Nice job!!

[@GiveitaGrow]

Thanks! I must have watched this about 50 times over while editing, just to make sure it is concise. I too have seen many rambling tutorials so I try to avoid making them :)

[@johnrcavanaugh4397]

LOTS of great information, presented in an organized fashion. Clean and friendly presentation style. //Learning lots from you!

[@BritanyDalton]

I just subscribed thanks for making videos that your actually the one growing and experience i greatly appreciate it ❤

[@mhrancharkajian2866]

If you use this method of propagation (by leave) actually the shoots will loose the variegate (by example if you propagate a sansevieria laurenti with the yellow edges will grow as zylanica all green without the yellow edges) so with the sansevierias the division is the best way to propagate and to maintain the original variety.

[@lynnburns7663]

Very informative, I am ready to pot my leaf cutting into soil and you answered all the questions I had in a short video. ❤😊

[@rajcoomaribaldeo8265]

The Snakes plants look so beautiful ,I like try some of mine. Thank you.

[@samuilc8000]

I like him talking his thinking aloud. I can learn a lot of details that way.

[@GiveitaGrow]

Thank you, thats good to know.

[@seanharris4621]

Excellent presentation. Love snake plants!

[@Nyambui]

Great job getting those cuttings to survive!

[@GiveitaGrow]

Thanks! I do think water for starting roots is the way to go, then tiny pots with soil.

[@Nyambui]

@@GiveitaGrow thanks for the tips!

[@sansevieria1018]

Nice video! Very informative!

[@spikefivefivefive]

The "pups" grow in a generic shade of green. They like to be root-bound, that's how they send up shoots. I use aquarium gravel to stabilize repotted plants. It keeps the from drying out and discourages gnats.

[@zaire3904]

How do they heal before putting in water? Where do l put the cuttings to heal?

[@9Hickson]

Hello, For some reason mined don’t do well in water? For now I have to stick to soil. Thank you

[@melodymakingmelodies4896]

Great, informative, organized video. Thank you for your help

[@GiveitaGrow]

Thanks for watching!

[@74betty]

I enjoyed this video. I had a question..i was gifted a snake plant and it has new growth, but it has the majority of it as cut leaves and she has the tips cut into points. Those leaves seem like they havent grown at all. Will they ever grow?

[@simplelifeathome]

I've tried to propagate from my larger plant by using a small shoot but I believe I damaged the roots when I transferred it to a new pot. This has inspired me to try again! I'll be more careful this time. Thank you! 🙂

[@GiveitaGrow]

Awesome! Good luck :)

[@freddieivory625]

Thank you for sharing

[@zuriatiwenger6480]

Hi!!! I love your video on snake plants. I think this plant is not given enough attention it deserves. I have a question for you. I have an adult snake plant, maybe 3 years old or more? I repotted it coz it was making big babies and almost bursting out of its pot. The problem is, when I was doing it, I think I might have destroyed or detached all of its roots. 😭 You did say it's OK since it will encourage new growths, but I'm concerned coz I still proceeded to put them in soil anyway. But I'm thinking it might be a bad idea and j should put them in water to make roots grow?? What do you think?? Thank you so much!!! New plant parent here.

[@bud2023]

Does the small pot needs to have holes at the bottom?

[@teofistatutor8793]

Good job

[@BritanyDalton]

Do you use rooting hormone or what type soil do you use i recently rescued a snake leaf that was on floor at Kroger's 😢 and a plant they were throwing away

[@GiveitaGrow]

I don't, but you can and will probably get good results.

[@Rue2love]

That little pot you have the Ceramic multi colored one that 1st came into frame that was rounded. I would Love nothing more than to own this piece of pottery with a variegated plant inside. How can we make this happen?

[@BritanyDalton]

How long did they take to root? Sorry for all the questions im adhd and if you mentioned it in the video lol im so sorry i have to rewatch them

[@beverlygreen1829]

When propagating in water how often should I change water during this process?

[@athulyamuralidharan9421]

Got a baby leaf but root got cut. Ive kept the baby leaf in water. Would it grow root?

[@yulissacontreras9958]

How often do you water a snake plant

[@GiveitaGrow]

Not very often, once every two weeks maybe.

[@wally280]

When I cut a piece off, the edge looks ugly,is there a treatment to stop the browning

[@reneetakeuchi7010]

Hi, I love your video. Why does the pup look different from the parent leaf? Does this happen with all snake plants or certain types?

[@fantagirowashington6569]

Hi, Appreciate your videos. Do you know, why the baby Snake Plants plant's yellow stripes did not appear when planting cut leaves (not the baby plant problem is when planting leaves)? Apprentice share your experience regarding this. Thanks!

[@marym4457]

To maintain the stripes or variegated pattern, the plant must be divided. Next time, use that process. Lots of videos here showing how to propagate by division.

[@ashleyrivera1360]

What happens when you cut willyhst part grow back

[@stevenm6453]

Do you buy soil for your sansevieria plants or you scooped up soil from the ground in your yard?

[@stufff45]

Why do the roots turn orange? Is it aright if they do turn orange?

[@GiveitaGrow]

That is normal as the roots age.

[@RickieVz1]

Great video! How long before a snake plat start growing roots in water? Or is soil propagation is better? Thanks 😊

[@GiveitaGrow]

It can take a month or two, and I like water better for growing roots.

[@NeedAdvice2010]

I have a question I hope someone can answer for me. What happens when you snip the stem straight across???? Doesn't it continue to grow with a blunt edge? If you're making a pot with cuttings, I don't think that's as pretty as the pointed tip....

[@GiveitaGrow]

The cut leaf will stay alive but not grow, it may trigger a new sprout from the roots.

[@NeedAdvice2010]

OHHH!!!!! So it's like the mom that births the new growth. So if you get new growth and you're ready to re-pot it, you can just pull the blunt one off and toss it?? Makes so much sense now. Thank you

[@debbiebarfield1840]

Can I cut off a piece of the top of leaf and place it inside of same pot where leaf came from?

[@GiveitaGrow]

Cuttings require more water than the main plant, so I would keep them separate.

[@frankwright460]

Nice video Enjoyed a lot your videos. Thank you What soil do you use for snake plants?

[@GiveitaGrow]

Thank you! I use an inexpensive potting soil with added perlite for drainage.

[@jacobskovolsen9099]

I have made leaf cuttings with streptocarpus :-)

[@GiveitaGrow]

Interesting! Nice job :)

[@happinessinleaf]

Watching

[@RandomRads]

Its been a month and no roots

[@jeffmiller2434]

I had a snake plant in a pot with a curled edge like the one in your video, and the pups grew out to the edge and got caught underneath that lip. It deformed the leaves before I discovered what was happening. So bottom line, pots with lips that curl inward are terrible for snake plants !

[@kaya9718]

It would be weird if humans could propagate. Like imagine getting your arm cut off and it grows into a whole other human with your arm.😅 kinda cool

[@GiveitaGrow]

Hahah! Yeah that would be odd, reminds me of the Evil Dead for sure.

[@toriwolf5978]

I just go by the plant way easier 😂😂😂that way takes to long lol

[@tedhodoba3637]

I have a snake plant I got from my upon her death 21 years ago. They obviously live a long time. I'm in Albuquerque also. I have a tropical style garden with several kinds of bananas, palm trees, colocasias, hardy gingers and many other plants. I also have a KZbin channel called Ted's Universe. Please check out. I'd lo e to meet you sometime.
