Hi great info, some other videos don’t mention about the drying part, how important is drying the new cut before propagation? Or can I get away with just plonking it in water?

@monstrofarm Жыл бұрын

Thank you. It's one of things that you do to increase the probability of it rooting, and doesn't take a lot of effort just a little patience. You might not wait for it to callous over and it might root. And next time it might not. Just a step to increase our chances. Great question by the way, I'm sure others as the same. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.

@ultramarinetoo 2 ай бұрын

CAREFUL: if you propagate this variety (Laurentii) by leaf cutting, it will lose the characteristic yellow stripe on the outside. To keep it propagate by separating the plant into several parts, leaving the leaves with root whole.

@_MaZTeR_ 14 күн бұрын

Found this out the hard way. Also stupidly, the offsprings didn't receive much light the first few years so there's bunch of thin leaves now. I bought a pretty sized, normal looking snake plant a year ago and put the older one next to it so it's no so bad anymore. Anyway, your comment should be at the top.

@grynormann1438 Жыл бұрын

For how long does it take for roots to develop? Weeks or months? I have a snake plant-leaf in water and it is just brown at the bottom 😢 Should I make a ’new cut’ and try again? It’s cut in an angle

@monstrofarm Жыл бұрын

It depends on the environment. If it's brown and mushy on the cut I would try again. When you cut the leaf let it sit for about 2 days to allow the cutting time to callous. You don't always have to do this, but it will help. Good luck this time.

@_MaZTeR_ 14 күн бұрын

The only problem with this is that the snake plant offsprings coming from the cutting won't ever have the yellow sides. The only way to get the yellows is to separate a leaf with the roots from the root node.

No idea if you gave up already, but the snake plant comes from very hot environments with little water. Water it once a month and give it a good sip, not every other day. Also it needs plenty of light, with direct sunlight maybe 2-4 hours a day.
