One tip : If you're going to cut propagate any plant that's due for a watering, water it and wait 24 hours before starting your propagation. It helps you to start with a healthier and better hydrated plant/cutting. Healthier cutting means a better chance of success and quality growth

[@firstnamelastname6193]

watering before or after makes no difference if you were caring for it properly

[@lisawagner6076]

I bought a plant arrangement last year that had a sans in it. I separated all the plants and put it in it's own pot. It sits on my south facing window and I just forgot ab out it. When I finally looked at it again, it had grown a whole separate plant right next to its self. I never cared for these plants until I got this one and it was so determined to grow. Now I love that little plant. As for too may plant projects, I keep a plant journal when I do all this type of stuff. I am not always good at remembering to keep it up, but when I do I really love it. I can't remember much these days do I have to write every thing down.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for sharing this Lisa!

[@laurenjohnson5880]

I'm glad you mentioned the importance of keeping the cuttings facing upright! I saw a different snake plant prop video that just mixed them all up and didn't pay attention to that, then wondered why half the cuttings didn't root lol. Also, in my experience, putting the cuttings directly into soil caused quicker/taller new growth than starting them in water :)

[@EverythingPlants]

Great tip! I didn't know if water or soil would be better as I thought the cuttings would rot quickly if placed directly into soil. Thanks Lauren.

Thank you so much Jeff, I really really enjoyed watching you create all these amazing snake plants, from leaf cuttings. I’ve haven’t had much success with water propagating they just seem to rot. So I’ve got another leaf which I’m going to try to grow into new plants, in soil this time. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@cherie7100]

I love how you take the time to go through and show the method without taking too long to get to the point. Others talk a lot and show no process! I have recently done this with my sansevieria as the leaves got overwatered and went mushy, I was able to save the tops of them and the main rhizome. Hoping it will grow back and the leaves will be okay. Have done in soil as too afraid to water prop due to overwatering the last time.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Cherie. I try and get right to the point....the reason people chose my videos. I hope you check out more videos on my channel!

[@Sixfuta]

A lot of posts say snake plants loose their variegation if you propagate from leaves. I’m not an expert but I think the issue is giving the plant enough light when the new leaves are forming. I put my Sansevierias outside in the sun in the beginning of summer and all the new leaves have more variegation than the mother plant. This goes for each variety I have.

[@northernplantuckyplantcinc2630]

More heat + light equals more Roots much much faster! Definitely do divisions if you want to keep any special pattern. Leaf cuttings in my experience even with moonshine always revert, but I have gotten some interesting little sport deviations. Works as well for other species like cylindrica. Cylindrical Leaf cuttings will come out looking flat but eventually develop their round form. Fellow plant mad scientist here with lots of sansevieria / dracaena species! I always enjoy your videos

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for the info! These cuttings were on my plant table near the south window so plenty of sun for these guys. I assumed these cuttings would revert back to the original genetics of the plant when propagate by the leaf method.

[@M_SC]

My bantel’s sensation was a division but the new leaf is reverted anyway. :(

Awesome video about plants that I love...maybe the v-notch at the bottom is a good way not to get mixed up on which way is the bottom of the cutting...I have also seen people who use a black marker to make a dot at the bottom edge too....Your plants are beautiful...hope to see mine get that big someday. Thanks for the great info!! 🥬

[@EverythingPlants]

Apparently it increases the surface area for root growth.

[@funnylittlecactus4672]

I have a small snake plant that I bought at the grocery store last summer. All summer I don't think it grew at all, at least I didn't notice it. About a month ago I decided to separate that plant into two and I didn't know there was a giant white root thing in the middle and I snapped it in half. I was convinced I killed it. So I potted each plant into separate pots and was amazed to find a couple weeks ago that each plant is putting out new shoots. The mother plant has three separate new shoots and the one I took from it has one new one. The weirdest part is that they are in the lowest light ever because I don't have a lot of space to put them so they've both been sitting on the kitchen counter getting minimal actual sun light.

[@EverythingPlants]

This is a perfect example of just because you are seeing growth that nothing is happening. I usually tell people the growth is probably happening in the soil! Thanks Cara!

[@M_SC]

Cool

[@lgarden7086]

I just took one of my props out of water ….it had lots of roots so I separated it from the original leaf and put it in a tiny pot. We’ll see how it goes, but I didn’t want to pot it up with the cut leaf either. I am beginning to appreciate snake plates I have a starfish and fernwood. Also the gasteria is a cool structural plant... love the thick chubby leaves. Nice video 💚🪴👍

[@jeramietolbert6699]

After cutting the leaf into sections do you need to let those sections callus over for a day or so before putting them in water?

[@FaithSpitsbergen-wj1yx]

What’s the best average cutting size for propagating? What’s the smallest piece successfully propagated?

[@keitumetse100]

I had no idea they take that long. I'm based out in South Africa, growing them outside. Just planted some from cuttings, will keep you posted.

Still at it, two-and-a-bit months later, some cuttings have dried up (turned brown) and some are still showing signs of life (still green). However, there aren’t any sprouts yet.

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

I learned from a House Plant book, after taking cuttings, place them in soil and you will see the new growth pop up on side. I don't remember if cutting part ever died off. TFS

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Shirley

[@user-ig3um1qe7k]

Little confused? So many different opinions with water propagation? Do you have to let the cutting callous over before you put it in water? I understand to callous before putting in soil but in water so many videos saying best to put it in water straight away no callous is that correct?

[@po.po.poquito]

Comments and questions!! I had a snake plant since maybe 2017 (I didn’t take an interest/effort in indoor gardening until maybe late 2019) and it was watered…. Maybe 4 times a year lol. The new growth looked very similar to yours, more tube like and not wide and flat. Is that due to poor growing conditions?? I chopped him all to bits about 3 months ago, ended up keeping approximately 30, 2”-15” cuttings rooted in water and just 4 that I stuck in some soil. I have NO pups or signs of pups on any of my well rooted water cuttings… BUT, 2 of the soil propped ones have a maybe 1” pup coming up, another has 2 pups simultaneously erupting (maybe a half inch). My mind is made up, I’m going to be transferring all my rooted cuttings into some nursery pots lol. First time here, really enjoyed your content and the information! Thank you

[@M_SC]

Ty for the video, I have never prop’d sansevieria. Your moonshine looks a bit green, if you put it in full sun it would make new leaves in a more moony colour. Mine is so sensitive that the lower parts of leaves that have light slightly blocked by the other leaves are green and the tops are silvery.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for the information about placing in higher light!

[@Hello_Fuckers0]

I propagated a broken leaf from a snake plant that was in a pothos I bought. I used the Swedish plant guys method of making multiple cuttings from one leaf, I cut a slight V shape when I cut the leaf, makes keeping the bottom in the water easy.

[@EverythingPlants]

I did the V cut on one of mine as well in the video. Thanks for watching!

[@grat2010]

About the Whitney cuttings - I've read somewhere that special cultivars like the Bantels sensation or the moonshine should be propagated via rhizome division instead of leaf cuttings to keep the special variegation. Doing it via cuttings can result in babies without the same properties. For instance moonshine cuttings can result in robusta babies instead of moonshines. Maybe that's what's happening with the Whitney babies looking like trifasciata?

[@EverythingPlants]

Ya. This is exactly what I was referring talking about the variegation on the leaf cuttings. You are 100% correct in saying the best way to maintain the variegation is by rhizome division. Thanks for the comment plant friend!

[@funhouse9566]

I have a snake plant that has refused to grow (followed all the videos), yet out of nowhere, it's sprouting loads of new shoots (looks like 4 more new plants) that are growing rapidly from the soil. Is this normal????? The main plant hasn't grown an inch still

[@denises.9508]

I believe that the " v " cut is so that you know that the "v" end goes downward. If you cut a leaf in a few pieces, then you don't have the pointed top to help you keep track.

[@EverythingPlants]

Apparently it's for increased surface area too

[@robparsons213]

Echoing the comments made by testingtesting54321 about leaf cuttings resulting in the progeny not retaining the parental characteristics. I read that years ago in one of my houseplant books. One reason for this is most of the variegation is on the outer margins of the leaves, at least with Whitney and the golden-edged leaf cultivars, whereas the new plants form nearer to the central midrib, which lacks those mutations. So it's unlikely your new plants will show them. Now Moonshine, on the other hand, has the whole leaf distinctly colored and so your leaf cuttings from it *may* inherit the mutation. I will certainly be interested to see how they look in a future update!

[@northernplantuckyplantcinc2630]

Moonshine Leaf cuttings do revert. But the reverted is also kind of pretty. Robust but heavily banded

[@EverythingPlants]

That makes complete sense. Thanks for sharing this Rob!

Yes! I have the whitney and moonshine as well

[@pooh2348]

I have 4 cuttings I started totally in soil. I can tell they have rooted because when I tug on them they don’t give at all. There are no shoots as of yet but my question is how often should I water them? Should I saturate the soil and then let it dry completely? I think they are eventually going to give me a plant let but in the meantime I don’t want to water incorrectly and loose them.

[@EverythingPlants]

I water mine until it just starts to come out of the drain hole, but mine are in a small pot. And I let mine dry out completely before watering again.

Let the cuttings callus over and harden off for 2 days. Then put them in water. Try that!

I wouldn't get too technical with it....letting them callous over minimizes rot. I have done both methods in the past with good outcomes, but for information purposes, most 'experts' say to let the end callous over. Hope this helps
