Repotting Snake Plants: The Mix To Use & How To Do It / Joy Us Garden

Love me some Snake Plants, aka Sansevierias or Mother in Law Tongues. It was time for repotting a few of my Snake Plants so I want to share with you the planting mix I used & how I did it.

I actually repotted 5 of my plants but you only see 2 of them here. The others I did as an arrangement & that’s coming in a future post & video. I call this project the “Snake Plant switcheroo” because I swapped out containers & locations they were in. Sansevieria, also known as Mother In Law Tongue, handle dry air & lower light conditions like champions!
After the repotting was finished, I moved them to a shady place in the garden. I let them settle in for a day and then gave them both a thorough watering before moving them to their spots in the house. Anyone else as crazy about Snake Plants as I am?!

Wholesomeness begets wholesomeness. Your energy is incredibly pleasant and therefore your community and your comment sections are as well. Just discovered tour channel today but I can tell I’ll be sticking around for a while.

Oh my god, they look wonderful (as do you), and what a great choice of pots! The yellow looks beautiful and energetic, especially with the colors on the plant.

Hello Nell I almost killed my Sensavaria but I learned just in time to not water them so often and now they are growing and producing more leaves and I owe it to your channel and the great information you give us.. Thanks for everything

Really love the yellow pots with the plants in them. Just looks beautiful. Nice work🙂

Nice yellow pots for sanseveria

[@cstevens8788]

So happy I found you. You work with your plants as I do. Lay paper down... easy clean up, same tools & I believe you are the 1st gardener I've seen on KZbin who wears gloves. I love plants but for many years I have thought my townhome was too dark. After watching many videos I can now look around & see all the wasted spots I've missed. I have recently given homes to 6 plants & have found I can bring 12 more in, perhaps more? Wish me luck. I'll be watching you. Thanks.

[@dreamtoreality9892]

I have over 30 of these beautiful plants my tallest is about 4 1/2 feet tall and over 30 years old. It's a blooming momma that's been past down. We call her the big mamma, she grows like wildfire in my apartment. She loves being in the corner in low light and water 1 time a month. I have had to separate her 3 times. I finally put her in a giant pot . Once you divide it they will grow like crazy.

[@HannahHana]

One of my favourite plant to collect 🌱❤️🇦🇺thanks for your tips you inspire me to enjoy gardening more 💓❤️🌱🇦🇺

It looks great in the yellow pot! You always pick the best accent colors!

I really love Snake Plants! They are one of my favorite house plants. What a great finished product Nell, they look beautiful in those yellow pots. :)

[@JoyUsGarden]

Thank you. I love Snake Plants not only for the way they look, but for their ease of maintenance. They even do great here in the Arizona desert! Nell

[@JoJoMaMa_]

I underestimated how EASY they are. I always recommend them to friends who can’t keep plants alive 😂

[@helencox4679]

You are a joy to watch i love your attitude about everything

I learned something today , that it’s ok to paint used pots , Thank you. I love yellow too, so cheerful also I was thinking about buying a mother- law ,plant it will be plastic. I am 80 years old and not easy to take proper care of plants any more, I love 💕 plants so I will just keep a few. I love house plants. Love watching your show. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year , to you and your family and the people who watch your videos

Excellent video - but for a plant that lush, I’d be dividing it to make 2or3 new ones and gift the extras to friends. Won’t it get rootbound too soon? Alison, Sydney Australia

[@gracedalit3092]

Mine just bent since last week.I repotted them in a turquoise pot.But I would need a matching pot to place them in my living room

Just repotting some of those plant today as well

[@JoyUsGarden]

Good timing then. Nell

[@bettyhouk8727]

Love the yellow pots ! I have little snake plant I bought back in the spring, we are into the monsoons ( July to August off and on ,) here in northern Arizona ! So ,I have promised this cutie a new home ! I was going to separate the plants after watching your video I am going to find that yellow spray paint and paint a urn type pot in that glorious yellow , I love yellow also ! Thank you for your instructions ,I wasn’t sure about the type of soil mix to use for this cute plant . Bless you and your family, have a wonderful day I wish you more luck then you’ll need ( from a Jimmy Buffet song) and now to work making my little Sansevierias happy ! .......... if I sound a little ditzy .. that’s because I am ! 🤠

Hey Nell! As always love watching your videos, but especially the "Snake Plant" ones. It looks great in your yellow pot! I love how many leaves grow at the same time. The one you planted in your yellow pot is the same kind I have. Would you ever consider having a page with pics of plants your "fans" send in? :-) Keep up the great work!

Fabulous... ! cheers for sharing love this flower so much their easy to care of... hi from Cyprus

[@audasa]

Great video! Thanks so much. I just bought my first snake plant, and am wondering if I need to replant from the plastic container it came in, it if I should leave it for a while? Thoughts?

[@georgiettaburnette3425]

Love your videos

[@paulgaligheriii7978]

I love her!!!!

[@nadinep.simmons9981]

I love all of your videos. One question tho....After repotting my snake plant do I water right away? If not, how long do I wait before watering?

[@Bentleyblake]

Do i have to remove it from the boack pot it came in from home depot?? With the holes at the bottom

[@ArtFiendz]

My snake plant is shrivling up and I don't know why. it's the only plant I've ever cared about and I don't know what I'm doing. I will try this potting mixture and hope something changes. I only water it once a month and i just get it damp I don't really soak it. It's in a house that is almost always 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit. and it just doesn't seem to be doing well.

[@juliadasilva2293]

I’m so scared to repot my snake plant! How can you tell if it really needs to be repotted? This is my first plant that has really done well (even had a baby last year that grew huge too).

[@zikoohasanain8954]

Hi. Thanx for the great video. My question is: can we seperate that plant into individual plants each in a different pot.

[@TheBkflorida]

I would devide two part...they grow fast

[@carmenwashington746]

Do the pots have to have drains at the bottom? I know you mentioned that you should use soil that drains quickly but what about the pot itself?

[@saiikik2727]

Yes. You do not want water stuck in the bottom soil. You want the water to be able to drain.

[@hackbattle4283]

You put that single in the outside. Isn't it just going to bend again. You said it sometimes happens on the outside.

[@user-jv1cl2fs6m]

I know it's bad Self-talk, but I'm an idiot! A WORD TO THE WISE.... The soil that was in the pot of my snake plant was so under nourished, I felt the entire root system needed cleaned and started over. it took me forever to get it all untangled (and then I had a stupid idea to rinse off the roots once I got it all spread out) The plant had a myriad of leaves with roots over here and over there...so many, in fact that even though I threw a number of them away when I split it into 2 pots, I suddenly had 2 very fully grown plants. I thought they would just flourish immediately with happy vibrant new life... I was so wrong. I didn't think they would ever forgive me for the rookie surgery I performed. I repeated this tomfoolery to all my plants...my fern is just now starting to fill in after 14 months!! All of them started looking lifeless, like I took a machete to them. The snakes look wonderful now thank God! But just looking back at that fiasco has exhausted me. DON'T RINSE THE ROOTS IS THE MORAL TO THIS STORY!

[@GreenCorner_S]

I have this plant . Reporting is quite difficult to me .

[@ouicestmoivale3531]

TH\hank You! Great instructions posted on your Blog.

[@passionsrundeeply]

Thank you! Just found you today, and love your enthusiasm! But it's like you are speaking a foreign language. Lol I'm a newbie and don't know the terminology that you are using in order to understand what you are using?, why are you using it?, why are you mixing these things? It would really help if these were mentioned. When you repot, why do you not use the black pot with the holes to protect the plant from over watering? I have NO green thumb. I got this plant to try again. Should I cut off this brown (looks burnt) leaf out of the bunch? 🤔 Thanks for the video and any advice you may have! Have a good one! 🤗

[@singingtick]

When I repot mine, I always break apart the bound up plant. It seems to do well, but I see in your video that you just plant it back all together. Am I doing it wrong?

[@FontediCalore]

Personally I would have made about 10 plants out of that overcrowding, and would have just soaked the lot in a basin to eliminate the soil so there'd be no need for a knife, but I am no expert

[@bozenamaciag3666]

Thank you nice lady❤

Thank you.

[@TheAprilSpies]

My snake plant rots the same time of year now two years in a row. The first it was my boyfriend overwatering it so much that the wood floor was even sporting a rot ring! I took it outside, dried it out and let it grow outdoors for the rest of the summer. Removed all the squishy rot roots and replanted the good. It grew back lovely all through fall and winter and then in spring the rot came back. Probably because my boyfriend and that damn watering can! So now I've got about one good piece left. What size pot should i use for it?

[@vonicarlo9108]

Lindas, são as espadas de São Jorge( Ogum ) elas dão flores no dia 23 de abril. 💚💛

[@keramidas2112]

Would it be beneficial to add any orchid bark to the mix?

[@p3rpl3skittles]

Mine is turning brown idk what to do. I water it once a month and it’s sitting in my hallway with low lighting :(

[@Lilsweetings]

My little Sarasota (that’s her name 😂) has a little baby and they need room to grow. I’m so scared to repot them but I’m gonna do it!

[@JesusismyGOD]

I just bought a huge one and I need advice, if I should repot i as I would any other normal house plant upon purchase and home going. Can any of you plant experts guide me please. It is BIG and I think it has been at the store for a while. It is green and beautiful and healthy, but a couple leaves of like 5 groupings of the plants together, look as if they have been a little abused. Other wise, they look really nice and healthy. It is just so BIG. Help. What do I do? Repot or leave alone. The internet says leave it alone.

[@Lauren-sc5ph]

Okay, you are the cutest!

[@tahrah.1987]

That looks great what material is the yellow pot?
