HOW TO GET A SANSEVIERIA TO GROW QUICKLY. SNAKE PLANT CARE GUIDE | Gardening in Canada 🪴👩🔬
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 гру 2020
- This is all about how to get a snake plant to grow quickly, how often to water a snake plant. Snake plants are notoriously known for being slow growers. But they tend to also be a house hold favourite because of their ability to survive in low light conditions. In this gardening in Canada video we look at how to get your snake plant to not only survive but thrive in your home. Slow snake plant growth can be easily be turned into rapid growth when we give a lot more sunshine and a little bit more water. We do this of course using science & looking at the history/nature of the sansevieria family.

Using your preferred liquid fertilizer above, how much fertilizer to use during growing months?
Depends on what is planted but generally 2-3 bottles
@@GardeningInCanada hi! Thanks for the great and informative video! I have divided my snake plants into 19 plants! I plan to give them as Christmas gifts. The leaves are a little yellow on some of them. I was wondering if you'd use this in the non growing months to 'green up' the leaves so they look better when I give them away. If so, should it be diluted? I've given a fish emulsion and chelated iron combination twice so far - one a week and diluted to less than 1/2 the recommended amount. Thanks in advance for any help!
Finally! I have always been so confused by the advice people give about this group of plants. My grandmother gave me her plant that must be around 60 years old now, and I have been taking care of it since I was a kid. It is a monster! It grows as fast as bamboo especially when I take it out in the spring and summer. It blooms every year and almost every other year I have to chop it up and give half of it away so that I can even carry it inside because it just gets so freaking huge. But I have always been confused because my grandmother told me it needs tons of water and light and almost literally everywhere else I have heard the opposite. I just keep taking care of it the way my grandmother told me to because it grows like it wants to take over the world under her instructions, but I always wondered if this plant is just a mutant or something because it behaves so differently and likes all the things people say it shouldn't. This makes so much sense now!
sounds like you are doing everything right!
When you put yours in the sun, do you give it direct sunlight?
Lol wants to take over the world.
. This made me chuckle 🤭
@@AccessHollywoood I have just put it directly in the sun before when taking it outside thinking nothing would tame its power but I ended up giving it sunburn pretty bad. My thinking was that it was in such a bright place in my house that it wouldn't matter but it turns out that the glass windows in our house protect from UV light so it kinda prevents plants from developing tolerance to direct sun. After that I cut off the burnt parts and put it under a tree and it bounced right back. The leaves that grow in the direct sun are much thicker and have deeper white pigmentation on them. Now I take it out and move it to the shade of the tree and then after about a month I put it in a place that gets direct sun for about half the day and that seems to be fine for it as long as it has lots of water. And I mean A LOT, it's reeeeeeally thirsty in June/July where I live. I'm in the southern part of the US btw. It gets super hot and humid in the summer so I wonder if the humidity has something to do with it as well.
Crazy smh my Gma just gave me some leaves from her over 30 yro snake plant hers are massive she keeps them outside under a porch but I’m putting mine inside
Full sun and regular watering. (Once a week if fast grower.). There, I just saved you 12 minutes.
Thank you internet stranger!!
Yes, thank you. I have a difficult time understanding her. Her words all run together.
No wonder you appreciate nothing and only have 2 moods
😂
Thank you ;-)
Sanseviera is now Dracaena feels like “Pluto is no longer a planet” all over again 😂
The day I found out Pluto was “just cosmic rubble” I died a little inside 😂
I needed this video!And everything you're saying makes complete sense. I own several snake plants and the one I have in my kids room ,getting south facing 🌞, and watering it as soon as it drys is huge much bigger than my other ones. Nothing you're saying is wrong.
Thanks for this video ❣
That’s awesome I love when other people have a similar experience
Other you tubers usually just reword articles facts and confuse me even more but you did the opposite. Good job 👏🏾
Oh perfect that’s a huge compliment
@Meme Blaming you ain't lying!! Most other UA-camrs all say pretty much the same thing as the last one, not so here! Right on! We need fresh perspective around here
This is how I have treated my snake plants the past 40 years and with amazing results. People have always commented on how big mine grew in a fairly short time and how healthy they looked. I didn’t know the science behind it so that’s fun to learn about.
Mine often flowers too - although many believe it’s a sign of stress.
Mine flowered in a west window.
Mine just started flowering under a dim-ish grow light in a north-facing window. I don't know about stress, but it has recently sent up 5 or 6 new stalks that are pressing against the pot, so it may have root bound signaling telling it to spread further.
Haven’t had any luck the conventional way. So will now try growing your way. I have nothing to loose. Thank you for giving me hope in growing a plant I love.
Im new to the indoor plants world and bought a snake plant a month ago, and didn’t know anything about it, so placed it on south face window and consisting water. Is growing really fast, now I know why! Thanks Ashley
I used to have 80+ species of Sansevieria 😅 and then I got introduced to aroids. I had to sell and giveaway my other collection. I only got about 30 left. In my opinion and experience in order for them to grow faster is for them to grow in well draining soil, bright light they can withstand full sun if you acclimate them in full sun SLOWLY. Do not overwater them. Wipe their leaves cause they get really dusty :) I love all the things you said in this video. New things to learn :)
Just to add. You water the sansevieria depending on your soil, how much light you give them, your environment.
Completely agree! And that’s a lot of sansevieria wow!
@@GardeningInCanada I got really into Sansevierias when I started collecting plants. I mean like craaazy I even ordered import plants 😂😂 now I’m into aroids 🤣
Do you find aroids difficult compared
to sansevieria
@@GardeningInCanada not really. I always think each of my plants have different personalities regardless of their genus lol. I do enjoy propagating aroids more than Sansevieria.
I agree generally. I want my plants to thrive, not just survive. I propagated one about 5 years ago and it took forever to take off but now, seems to be thriving. I give as much light as I can, water sparingly, more frequently. They are all pretty happy.
that is awesome
When propagating a snake plant, should I use more or less sun? I just have it in water.
Thanks!
I had mine outdoors in full sun all summer. We had a LOT of rain this year. I didn't have to water except for maybe twice the entire summer. They were pretty much, over watered all summer. They did great ! They shocked me. Even my aloe quadrupled in size. ( Usually they don't do well for me. )
16 and counting I have them in on my south facing window and water them once a week because I want then to grow faster I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does this because I am aware they come from sunny environments
Yea! That’s awesome is it working for you?
I have found this to be true in my experience too. I have mine in very well-draining soil so I water them frequently. And I've noticed that when I put them in brighter light, they grow much faster. I hadn't gone as far as full sun, but I will keep that in mind.
It’s crazy right?! They go wild I feel bad when people have these plants that put out one new leaf a year.
You, I put an ad on marketplace last year asking if anyone had a snake plant they needed to divide and got 2 given to me. One was at deaths door and is my inside plant. The other was large and is my outside thriver! It gets watered about half what my pothos gets, both are on my covered front porch. It gave me several new leaves after it recovered from being savagely split and given to me. It’s about 1/3 larger in one summer. My indoor one, I don’t think it’s given me a single leaf rofl it’s the perfect size in a beautiful pot and custom stand. It’s gorgeous and sits in the window by the front door. Clearly not enough light. Will fix that soon.
I got a mikado about 3 months ago and it had a large pup I separated that is now giving me new leaves. The mother plant has given me a new pup with 3 leaves on it. All of them are sitting in a window. And omgosh they are such a gorgeous much healthier green than when I got them. ❤❤❤
I put all my snake plants outside. Changed the soil in the ones that had infestations. Rinsed the roots with water and sprayed them with Ortho for plants. Put in fertilizer and left them outside. The rain got to them and they bursted with new growth. When they’re in the sun they love moisture.
its true they love water when the sun is beaming
So cool, thank you! For a long time I only had the “typical” snake plant, but over the last couple of years, have acquired other variations. I am usually really fearful of overwatering, so I use a moisture meter. But, this information is very helpful and appreciated! Happy new year!
That’s awesome! Happy new year!
Thank you! I am so happy to have come across your channel! I love all of the plant care tips I have learned from hobbyists,, but learning plant care from a scientist helps even more. I’m going to be binge watching your videos over the next week or so.
Awesome! Thank you!
I tend to buy most of my plants from the clearance section too. They tend to be over watered by the time I find them. Sometimes they just need a bright warm spot to rehabilitate other times I have to completely repot them in well draining potting mix.
I never water on a schedule, I just stick my finger in and check.
Yea absolutely the schedule thing is silly
This is the best information I've seen on the internet regarding my sansevierias . Thank you so much.
Hey, thanks for being a complete nerd! I enjoyed every detail and new vocabulary learned.
Haha awe ❤️ glad you enjoyed
In Western Australia the snake plant grows like a weed. I put them in my shallow fish pond and they grow fine with no care. I can grow them in water bowls inside or outside also without any soil media. I do live in a hot dry environment though. Thank you for your videos Ashley, they are so helpful.
That’s awesome!
You are truly inspirational.
I'm glad I stumbled across this Channel and I can't wait to use your tips this week!
Science is such a powerful tool
I have one very small sansivieria growing in a small bowl full of fish tank water! Just water! It’s put out so many new roots and loves living aquatically. So yes! You can grow sansivieria in water!!!
Nice!
Love all the info you provided. Thanks
My pleasure!
Very helpful. I wondered why a few leaves of my snake plant are thin and 3 feet tall - low light! So interesting. Enjoyed this video immensely! Thank you for posting.
I just throw mine outside for the summer then indoors out of direct sun in the winter and water when I remember. They are taking over the house, bursting ( literally) out of their pots!
Haha sounds like a snake plant
Totally agree with you , I care for my sansevieria the same way, like them big ! and they are ! my whale is 10" wide and 2,5' tall.
wow
I completely agree! I've always had the best growth under these circumstances!! I feel less crazy now! Lol
IT WORKS!! I watched your video a couple of weeks ago, freshened up their soil and put my snake plants out in the summer sun and rain. Its been a fairly hot summer here in the Chicago area (not record-breaking heat like lots of other places in 2023) and all the snake plants seem very happy and are growing fast, with more dramatic variegation. I don’t leave them out in the heaviest thunderstorms. I avoid watering them with the hose between rain storms unless they’re dry. I fertilize now and then. They are growing fast, including the pups of the Whale Fin i got in June.
glad it worked out for you!
This was great. I'm going to put mine outside to enjoy the sun and heat. Thank you! 🪴
Thank you for that, im certainly going to give it a try this summer, I will let you know
Please do!
I took a cutting when I was in San Diego (where it grows outside happily) and it took forever to form a plant. It seemed happier when it became very pot bound. It does love lots of sun and regular watering. I do not fertilize often, typically in summer when it seems to be actively growing. I have a total of 7 ( 6 varieties) and adore their look! The Samaria is in my husband’s care and has slowed to almost no growth since he put it in a relatively low light bathroom with a small window. I told him it wasn’t ideal!
My grandma told me the ole, "drop a couple matches on the top soil of your snake plants and water one all the way thru- you're sure to have pups and new growth not too long afterwards."
This is something that has worked like a charm for every single one of my snakes.
Why matches?
@@Evelyn55515 great source of phosphorous, magnesium and i think nitro in the tip.
Burnt or unburned?
I finally bought one this last year. Within a few months.. I had 3. After dividing.. another popped up. However growth has been slow. With this advise I'm giving it more light and moisture. I watered lightly every few weeks.. nomatter how much it tolerates drought.. it dont feel right letting it go bone dry and let it stay that way. No drooping or damage.. but not the growth rate I'd like. I'm sure after this knowledge.. it'll improve. Very much appreciated!
They will grow like crazy want to give them light
I enjoyed this video. Thank You.
I’m glad! Be sure to share
I actually did this without even knowing, thanks for the explanation.
Woohoo
I have not had the luxury of trying things out with full sun but I have noticed that by watering the one that I have even in a north facing window at my job has really seen it grow substantially over the last three months or so
Woah, new subscriber. That info was exactly what I needed...I was so afraid to try full sun and terrified of overwatering after re-potting my first snake plants. Hope this works! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@GardeningInCanada Absolutely--looking forward to working my way through your extensive playlists! 🙏🏽
Great plant. Good air filter and easy to grow. I have mine outside in partial shade and get great growth and water 1-2x a week. Getting ready to move some indoors next to a east facing window.
Thanks for the tips!
Going to give this a try - beef up my snake plants 💪 ! Thanks for sharing
Awesome you wont be disapointed
Thank you so much for the great information!
Glad it was helpful!
Because I'm a newb and didn't know... I've had mine on the southeast facing back deck since end of May zone 5 and letting it get rained on and it's doing WAY better than when I bought it back in November and had in low light and barely watered over the winter. Total beginners fluke. I had moved it outside because of my indoor cat who likes to chew 🤦♀️ and I had no other place to put it. This winter its going to have to be behind closed door in low light spare room but good to know it will be ok there. Thanks for all the amazing info.
That’s awesome ahaha
I agree. The more light you provide, the more they grow, the more water they will need. In the dark corner of your home, they are not receiving much light, they will not dry out as quickly or 'drink' as much water so they will require less. I used to keep aquarium plants, it was always the light that was the driving force for growth.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. I will be trying your tips because I really would love for it to get bigger.
Yea! Absolutely give it a shot and let me know how it works for you
I have just bought my first 2 snake plants! One big guy in a “12 pot, and a little guy in a 6” pot.
I have them indoors, but I am now contemplating putting them outside for the summer
If you do be sure to garden them off slowly.
I have an article on this here: gardeningincanada.net/bringing-house-plants-outside/
As well as a video: ua-cam.com/video/uG_lMAQ-cHE/v-deo.html
I am so glad I found you. I am in South Africa. I have 11 different snake plants in my collection. I also found they like more water. They also grow fast for me. I don't put them in full sun. It is very hot here. They do prefer some shade. I keep them outside and on my stoep (covered). The cam thing I learnt about when doing research for spekboom. You explained it well. People ofter ask me for plants that will produce oxygen... And then I roll my eyes.. Photosynthesis and chlorophyll... All plants make oxygen. I know listened to the leave video also. Very interesting. I have always left my leaves as mulch. I never knew about the carbon thing and i do notice a lot of fungi in my garden. I do have a fertilizer high in nitrogen that we occasionally use everywhere. It makea sense
Nice!!! I’m releasing an update video on this Friday next week
Excellent explanation. Thanks for the advice ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the information!
Anytime!
timely information - thank you! i have 4 snake plants and several cuttings.
That’s awesome! I love them
@@GardeningInCanada i had a couple of the hahnii type root rot because the soil was way too heavy - lesson learned. hoping the cuttings work
Yea they don’t love heavy soil that’s forsure
I'm Filipino and these grow like weed. They get full sun and watered daily.
New to growing this Plant so I appreciated the help. I did learn something that I believe will be helpful. I will let you know. when I see change.
Thank you for this 🤩I started my cuttings on a south-west facing windowsill and that is where they are right now. Growing in semi-hydro (LECA).
Best of luck!
These are my favorites. there's a florist near my house that has a little house plant selection and they sell these all the time for really cheap so my windows are full. I water them usually once a week except in the winter they need a little less. I build 3 shelves across the north facing window in my bedroom and it's perfect for them. (also in Canada -southern Ontario) i have 17 snake plants lol
I love snake plants. I have about 8 varieties. Great video!
Thanks so much!
At about 5:40, you say that obligate CAM plants can photosynthesize normally if conditions are right. This would actually be a facultative situation, where the CAM photosynthesis can be switched off. Obligate species cannot change.
I somehow got mine to bloom a couple times. I think it was a combination of direct sun and watering (indoors). They have a beautiful perfume
Direct sun makes a major difference
Thanks so much for watch! Who ones these and how many?
Laurentii, Moonshine, Starfish, Zeylanica and Fernwood Mikado ...
Oh gorgeous!
Hello! So I have read International Sansevieria Society journals and know some of the botanical names if you want to know more about Sansevieria species such as who and where they come from and about their flowers I would recommend visiting their website :) they have researchers who writes the journals :)
Anyways from my knowledge these are the names of the plants and I included the time from the video so it’s easier.
0:00 Sansevieria trifasciata
1:12 Sansevieria trifasciata Hahnii Marginata
1:39 Sansevieria Cylindrica
2:04 Sansevieria Masoniana
2:20 Sansevieria Lavranos 23154 “Warshiik”
2:32 Sansevieria trifasciata “Laurentii”
2:40 Sansevieria Boncel Patula
Wow! Thanks that’s awesome!
Any advice on getting them to flower? I have a massive plant, 4 to 5 feet tall, that used to flower 2 to 3 times a year, but hasn't in the last couple years at all.
amazing video! Mind blown!
That’s perfect! I’m always aiming for new info.
subscribed!!! everything makes sense now. thanks for making science understandable to average joe/joanna lol.
Welcome aboard! Be sure too share!
I think this might be the most important video I could have seen about snakeplants, thank you sooooo much because I want bigger snakes!❤️🌿
Love that! Glad too help.
Its food to see your Sansevierias.❤
I was wondering why my snake plant has been growing like crazy compared to some of the stories I've heard about it being a slow grower. Mine gets lots of sun and I water regularly and it has 4 pups (one is almost as tall as the parent leaves) in a couple months.
This is super helpful and explains my recent success with them. I'm a big fan of snake plants! 11 cv's and counting. :) I'm trying to learn the names of the ones I got that didn't come with tags. Really appreciate the science end of it too! Thanks for sharing it.
I’m new to the snake plant I was looking for an air purifier plant and stumbled upon this beautiful snake plant and I decided I had to buy it and learn about it how to make it grow tall and big. I only have a young one right now and trying to learn it’s likes and dislikes and so far I seem to be keeping it happy cuz it is looking more perky every day and I’ve only owned it for a week
I love all the snake plants!!
And I actually learned something very interesting, so thank you!
That’s perfect! Always my aim
Thank you
Very informative
Glad you enjoyed!
I just watched another video, in which it was explained that snake plants CAN be kept in the dark, but they prefer a lot of light. It's just that they die very slowly, therefore people think they are doing fine. So maybe it's best to put them in a light area part of the day or every other day. And maybe you could explain why my snake plant started out with yellow edges, but new shoots don't have yellow edges, but are completely green?
Snake plants are good for busy college students with no time haha
It’s one of the best plants I’ve bought.
Good for climate change too
Thanks for the information 👍
That’s very true
Tx Ash, another informative Vidja. I am 45 years young and am considering college for horticulture but since finding your channel I think I might want to follow in your footsteps. Tx again for knowledge and info. ✌🏻️❤️🌱.
soil science is always the best choice ;)
I would never give you flak! You have too much knowledge 💯
Haha thanks! That’s way too kind
Thanks for sharing 💗
Anytime!
Wow ❤ actual scientific advice 👍
glad you enjoyed.
This makes so much sense and as a new snake plant grower I really appreciate this confirmation!😊 I have mine in about 75% sun, which is max in my back yard due to some tree coverage, but I have not been watering them but once a month from other videos I saw. But in my own thoughts, right from the beginning, I'm thinking more than that, especially in more sun?? Lol so again thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
im so glad i subscribed you are awesome
Yay! Glad you’re enjoying so much.
Thank you much!!!!!
Anytime!
Thanks!
No problem! ❤️❤️
Great information. Now mine can grow. ❤
Dracaena is a great one for almost anywhere. Easy to care for.
I think obligate CAMs can only conduct CAM photosynthesis, and facultative CAM plants can switch pending conditions. So any extra growth is likely just due to more lighting in my opinion.
Yea absolutely but you need the water volume to support the new energy capture and turning it into something in the form of new growth
I agree this is has been my exact experience also
Wonderful! What kinds do you have?
I potted my snake pot in a bigger pot and growing like crazy got a lot of babies
The pot is not the reason why they're growing like crazy, it's the light. If you live where she lives in Canada, and have a slow grower near a northern window, then it won't grow faster by getting a bigger pot, unless you're a lazy plant owner, and consider to re-pot years too late.
I have two gorgeous sansevierias which I baby. They have perfect leaves! :)
That's great!
True, but I don't think you even need to have lots of sun from a south window or grow light to get good growth. Sure, it helps a lot, but I had mine in a north-west window for many years, and they grew quite fast, had to repot every 2 or 3 years.
It's the watering schedule, and the amount you give them that in my opinion is the key, too many people are just too scared to overwater them and let them go dry too long to avoid any risk. I think the plant adjusts to that, thinking it's a dry period, and take's its foot off the gas.
I have a baby one gifted a few years back n hardly growing...I understand now...thank you...need to water more...
Haha uh oh!
Cool looking glasses.
Thanks for the video!! I have a question for you: where should I place my plant during the winter?
Glad you enjoyed! and full sun or under a grow light if possible
Subscribed. Great video.
Awesome glad you enjoyed! Let me know you want to see anything in particular
This video is very helpful to me. I recently purchased my first snake plant from the grocery store. It is currently in quarantine for observation for pests. So far, so good. I was planning to put it in a low light area, but after hearing your advise I think I will try putting it in a bright light. What kind of humidity do they need.?
Just regular old home humidity between 30-50
I watched this previously and found it extremely interesting. So i prepped my sansevierias and put all of them under grow lights about 2 months ago. I’m now going to start watering them every 2 weeks. This is my second 2 weekly watering. I’m testing your theory and will give you updates in a month or so. I currently have about 20 or so different types. Wish me luck. And thanks again for the great ideas you share with us
Good luck! Just make sure you don’t over water and you’re watering when the plant asks for if
Will do.
❤️
do you have any updates??
Any updates ?
Great video thanks. I’m about to acquire a whale fin and want to grow in LECA balls with an inch or so of water at the bottom of the pot well away from the roots. Indoors in sun with a grow light supplementing during winter. Yay or nay from you re LECA?
Leca is a greay idea and yes i would grow light for winter if you want rapid growth
Thank you now I don't have to get my big strong husband to move my snake plant back to.the back yard away from lot of sun light because I just seen on others. That said that they do best in low light and kept dry less water. He moved it at my request months ago.(he wasn't happy). Now we will be both happy 😊
Awesome!
Thanks so much 😊
You're welcome 😊
Great info! I was able to propagate from a leaf cutting very quickly because I kept it close under an intense grow light. I"m considering moving one or two of my snake plants outside this summer, but I haven't ever transitioned any of my houseplants outdoors for the summer. Do you have any advice (maybe a video?) on doing that to help it adjust well?
I have a blog post on this process! and a video. I would go with the article because it has other videos that you should watch as well just to help understand some concepts. gardeningincanada.net/bringing-house-plants-outside/
I just recently started liking the mother in law tongue 🤑on sale!
It’s truly the best way to buy them.
I have mine in a self watering Lechuza planter. It’s very happy. Gets as much water as it likes and diffused light from a bathroom window. It got very tall. I just divided it. It looks like the one in the thumbnail picture for this video.
Hi! Thanks for the great and informative video! I have divided my snake plants into 19 plants! I plan to give them as Christmas gifts. The leaves are a little yellow on some of them. I was wondering if you'd use this in the non growing months to 'green up' the leaves so they look better when I give them away. If so, should it be diluted? I've given a fish emulsion and chelated iron combination twice so far - one a week and diluted to less than 1/2 the recommended amount. Thanks in advance for any help!
Your watering sounds find its likely just transplant stress. Lots of light and water wil help
How am I barely finding your channel! 👏🏼
The algorithm doesn’t like me yet 😂
I was struggling with mine, but I had an idea to repot in pure leca balls. It sits in a window with afternoon sun snd thoroughly soak the medium once a week. I’ll try putting it outside this summer. I have seen them growing outdoors in Caribbean countries.
I’m totally going to try this! Could you please do a video on how to help a plant that’s curling? I have a Masoniana sansevieria that is folding like a taco and I don’t know how to help it. On the internet, some say it’s due to overwatering, some say it’s under watering, some say fungus. If you have advice, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks!
Oh man. It’s most likely under watering causing the cell walls to collapse and pull.
