Please tell me why one stalk of a snake plant that is propagating in water would turn yellow? There are about six stalks I'm trying to propagate in a glass container

[@ourhouseplants]

Could be a few main reasons. 1) Time. The cutting has to root within a certain period of time, otherwise the cutting material runs out of "resources" and yellows off. 2) Some kind of bacteria has infected the cutting.

Also please tell me why one stalk of a snake plant would turn yellow if the whole plant is planted in soil? What in the world could I be doing wrong?

[@ourhouseplants]

Again a few possible explanations. Leaves on houseplants, including Snake Plants don't live forever. So at some point they will always yellow up. Whether that takes months or years, it will happen. Secondly, most Snake Plants are sold with multiple plants in the same container. So any part of the plant could get root rot, where the rest doesn't. I find if you pull at the yellow stems and it comes out easily and is mushy / smelly / slimy etc. Then it's root rot.
