In this episode we are going to talk about the Sansevieria plant - Also known as mother-in-law’s tongue or snake plant. We are going to discuss lighting, watering, care, benefits, and propagation.
If you have never grown a house plant before and are looking for something that is virtually indestructible, then look no further. The Sansevieria is perfect for the forgetful gardener and a great starter plant. This is probably the toughest and most tolerant houseplant you can find, as it is able to survive many unsuitable growing conditions.
According to NASA’s Clean Air Study, the Snake Plant is considered an air purifying plant as it removes toxins from the air. It releases nighttime oxygen, so it’s ideal to have in your bedroom. It filters indoor air pollution, particularly benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, and toluene. Snake Plant Plants are mildly toxic if eaten. Keep away from children and animals.
Mother-in-Law’s Tongue is commonly known as Snake plant, while its full scientific name is Sansevieria trifasciata laurentii. It is a succulent from West Africa and a popular choice for indoor gardens and interior design. It is called Mother-in-Law’s Tongue for their long, sharp, pointed leaves and because it lasts so long. These are long-lived, easy-care houseplants. It is also called Snake Plant as their pattern resembles the scales of a snake.
I like to place it in an area with plenty of bright light and mild temperatures to help the plant flourish. Although Mother-in-law's Tongue is tolerant of low light. Variegated forms need more light and can be more difficult to grow. The pattern in the leaves tends to be more bright when exposed to light. But bright direct light may be too intense for the plant and may cause leaf dropping. A north facing window is acceptable but Long periods of Northern exposure may cause drooping leaves.
If you did place the plant in full sun without a gradual transition, remove it to a shadier place and slowly transition it back to the sunnier area over a period of time.
I also like to turn the pot a quarter turn every week for even light exposure.
Water the soil, taking care not to get water on the leaves, which will cause them to rot. I like to water along the sides of the plant. Try to keep water out of the center of the leaf clump. Water until the water drains from the bottom and empty drained water from trays promptly.
Any problems with growing Sansevieria are usually related to watering. Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between watering during the growing season. Every 2-3 weeks is typically adequate.
In winter months only water when leaves begin to look slightly wilted. Once a month is usually sufficient depending on your humidity. If your snake plant is near a heat vent or sunny window you will need water more frequently.
If the leaves turn yellow, or get soft and mushy at their base, it's overwatered. If this happens, stop watering immediately, and rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the leaves. The vegetable oil will force water out of the mushy spot and turn it green again.
While the natural yellow outline on the edges of the variegated snake plant is normal, yellowing across the entire leaves is a sign the plant is either being overwatered or has been transitioned too quickly to an area with bright sunlight.
The snake plant is one of the few plants that can be propagated with cuttings taken from cross-sections of their long spear-shaped leaves. The Sansevieria will produce roots when placed in soil or water. Be sure to let the cuttings callus over for 3-7 days first though. If not they are more subject to rotting.

Mika Slime Thanks for stopping by!
Really nice video! I like the comparisons of the water vs soil rooting and the way the plant looked before and after.What do you prop up the leaves with until the can stand up?
Thanks so much Judy! As far as propping them up, are you referring to the cuttings in water?
@@moodyblooms no in the soil.
If you are referring to the babies propagating from the leaf, they are small so stay upright. The leaf cuttings propagating in soil should stand up just fine. Just gently pat the soil around the leaf to secure it. The leaf cuttings don’t have to be super tall either. Even a few inches of leaf will work.
Watched again Gary

Love your video! What is the best way to transplant it from rooting in water to soil? My plants typically won't survive in soil when it's rooted in water. Please help.
Make sure they are transplanted into well draining soil. They will need more water than a typical plant for the first couple weeks. Also make sure they are not getting any direct sunlight. They need to have really strong roots before they can be in direct sun. They will need to be slowly introduced to direct sunlight about an hour a day. Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes. 💚
Thanks for sharing.. We used to have this plant many years ago but it's been a long time.. Maybe I'll try growing again.. Full View Like 87..

How often do I need to change the water when I’m growing roots in the 6 weeks?
It is suggested to change the water every week, but even once every two weeks is better than nothing. You just don’t want algae growing on your bottle. Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your visit Faith!
Thank you for the video! I am repotting my mother's snake plant. It should have been done literally years ago. What soil should I use? I have a citrus mix, and an orchid mix that is chunky wood like stuff. The plant looks like it is in kind of generic potting mix. What would you recommend? 8/18/23 annie
Citrus and orchid mix soil are both fast-draining and nutritious planting medium. Even regular potting soil amended with some pumice or perlite will work too. Happy growing Annie!
Really lovely 😍👌
With my best wishes dear friend !!! Stay blessed !!! 66 🌷 Thanks

Which water you used. Is it distilled water. I lost my golden trifasciata... I tried in soil leaves dying even in water. I m not putting in water or in soil same day. Many days when the cutted area is dry. What should I do. I saw that we can use distilled water and put honey.. Cinnamon in cutted area
I just use regular tap water. Distilled water is probably better. You can always let your tap water sit out overnight before using to help the chlorine evaporate. I am so sorry you lost your plant. Was it the entire plant or just the cuttings? Definitely let the leaf cuttings sit out a few days before putting in water or damp soil. I have not tried honey or cinnamon, but I hear cinnamon works well. You could also use a rooting hormone, but I have success without anything. Please let me know if I missed any of your questions. Have a great day!
I have snake plant just starting to grow, coz i moved it to another window morning sun and water it once in a while when it dry.
They really are awesome low maintenance plants! Sending good plant vibes your way friend!!💚🌱💚

Thanks so much new friend! :)
Hi !! My snake plant died and bought another and died
too 😢I am going to buy one more and follow your secrets to grow a healthy plant.
My guess is you are probably overwatering your plant. Is the number one killer of most house plants. Snake plants need way less water than you think. Only water in the soil is dry.
