My mother always had a snake plant. I took a liking to it because it was different. I just bought one in her memory.

[@bozumoyo3277]

What kind of streets are you living on 😭 I'd love to get my hands on some plants people are throwing away haha

[@ilariaz.143]

The quality of your videos is priceless! Of course one could look for scientific publications and solve some of these little botanical dilemmas but I (and surely all of us) appreciate immensely the way you share this kind of information from time to time. Thanks a lot!

[@Thatssocutecrafts]

I had no idea that leaf cuttings would revert back to green. Love that you always are educating your audience. 😍🌱

[@summerrayneoakes]

Yep-the new growth off the cuttings -if it's variegated-will likely revert to Green again

[@newsgroupsusenet5486]

@@summerrayneoakes I've heard 2 things: (1) young snake plants from leaf cutting propagation only have green leaves (lost yellow part) But after 9 month - a year under very bright indirect sunlight, leaves turn Back to fully Variegated Laurentii, this video can prove it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rorJn4WdatWVm80 especially after 2 years he can see all leave turn back to Variegated Laurentii.

[@newsgroupsusenet5486]

@@summerrayneoakes (2) Also if we put the snake plant Deep enough into soil, then it's likely generate new child stem, however if we put just a little soil then new leaves come up on Top of the plant, hardly new stem underneath. After all snake plants are great for the bedroom.

Hi..how's your plant now? I want to start growing my own now, from a leaf

[@April-py3jc]

Sadly i lost a huge plant recently. Had i seen this video i wouldnt have thrown it away as the leaves were at least 2 feet high. Ive since bought another much smaller plant and after watching this video feel well informed to deal with any future problems that may arise with them

[@tocaworldgirl660]

Whoever doesnt love, let alone like, anything about Summer or her videos.. you need to go buy a plant. She is like a garden angel.

I love propagation of snake plants in both water and potting mix. It’s so much fun watching them grow.💚

[@elenagorba9096]

My cuttings are first developing little pups in water, and only then - roots... I love the way they look, it is amazing...

[@jaehyunscousinnara4537]

Do you change water when you propagate using water? If yes then how often do you change water

[@brairr9966]

Enjoyed this video....very informative.... thanks for all these wonderful helpful ideas.....

Awesome video Summer! I loved the experiments. You never fail! I always feel like I'm visiting with you, learning from you and come away feeling relaxed and more in love with plants than ever before. You rock! :)

[@violetvallance2062]

We used to have the bins just up from our house and garden waste would be piled up beside them. I live in Crete and the majority of my garden came from waste cuttings. I am an ardent dump diver. I've actually seen a cutting that I took three years ago and it is HUGE now in a garden centre priced at 200 euros.

[@maryannegunter115]

Yay! Glad I'm not the only one who gets plants out of trash bins from gardening centers! It's very satisfying when I can save one and watch it grow ❤😊

[@reneehinkson474]

Very informative and focused. I appreciate all the added details related to educating your audience. 😀 Thank you! (Some other channels have many distractions and chatter not related that has to be skipped past.)

[@alclay8689]

This exactly the kind of in depth explanations and education I was looking for. Great vid!

[@karenb136]

Thanks for this info. I propagated mine from a cutting. It took 2 months and then I saw a new little pup starting up in front of it. Now there is another one starting. I did not know it reverts back to green by doing it this way. Good to know. My mother plant was just green anyway so it works for me. That is the first time I tried propagating one and was so excited to see it worked so well.

[@patriciamartinbanner]

I just saw you first time..is not about the plants only I kept listen to you but love to see your dress color and gloves matching so beautiful color I ever had seen any one beautiful unique like her..love your color skin..so beautiful..thank you for take time to share ❤

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Summer! This was another very interesting and informative video. I've watched others show how to propagate snake plants, but they never say if you cut a variegated leaf that will probably revert back to green. That's great to know before cutting them, especially if you want to keep the variegation and are able to divide the plant. I tried propagating cut leaves in water and they just rotted, inch by inch. I don't think I let them dry out first, so that could be why. I don't think others mentioned that either. I love my snake plants and hope to increase my collection. I'm looking forward to seeing how the seeds do. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@henrytian1923]

love this new kind of video!

[@stacygray9852]

So glad you made this video before I went around and cut a bunch of my sanseveria leaves off trying to propagate them all. I had no idea that they would just make green plants if you cut and propped the leaves. Good to know!!! 😃

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

You could cut off damaged part. And continue taking cuttings. I've done this probgation and like it . Thank You for your videos, you are a wealth of information.

[@Tanvi_Soni]

Hey what exactly you have done?? I also m facing damaging yellowing loose leaves from the bottom part.. may b over watering issue.. not sure.. but should I cut it n propagate??!. Or let it be?!.

[@melissazoeller6675]

Perfect timing to come across this video! I’m growing my sansevieria collection and I just noticed an odd orangish color something-or-other in my whale fin plant soil. Had no idea what it was and left it alone. Within an hour of finding this, I watched your video, it’s a seed! So I tried to break it apart and couldn’t but noticed white roots poking out. I put it in the soil and I’ll wait to see what happens 🤷🏻‍♀ thank you for such informative videos geared toward everyday plant people ❤

[@desertflower9557]

One month ago I salvaged 2 leaves of Snake plants from where I work. You could see they were all different and had been growing in that same pot, gathered from a few sources. It wasn’t looking well and two of the stems were continually drooping over the sides impeding my passage. I decided to cut them off and take them home. I let the ends harden off a few days. I put one into water and one into a combo of soil and Leca. The one in the combo mixture began to close, I didn’t notice it at first, but I removed it and have placed it into water, it had begun to breed fungus gnats when I looked closely at the soil. I wanted a better example than previous ones I had seen. I needed to know if it was natural for the ends to turn a little brown while waiting for roots to develop, I saw that looking at yours that this is normal. Thank you for this complete explanation.
