Wow. Thank you for your kind words. Glad you’re enjoying it. 🙏🏻
Briefe and not talkative
With no time waste
Keep it up like that
Thank you. 🙏🏻
You deserve more popularity. I am 10 steps below an amateur level and this was easy for me. Don’t take it lightly you’re very helpful and quality of voice, video, and tips are very professional . Thankyou so much
Short and to the point with complete instructions❤
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed and found value in it.
But also very dynamic and engaging. Like… YES PLANTS ARE SO INTERESTING!!! 🎉
I kind of like it, usually short videos (not individuals talking for 20 mins, which is also fine sometimes) are soothing music and calm voices lol. This kind of startled me but not in a bad way
Wow! this is a FANTASTIC video! Clear instructions, easy to follow, informative, detailed, and I feel like I will actually RETAIN the knowledge. Not to mention the quality of video, sound, and editing! Easy follow :) thank you!
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video.

You’re legit dude. No bullshit, all info. Followed!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the content. Thanks for the sub.
Had a really dense snake plant with lots of pups, so I divided the healthy bits into three smaller pots. Hopefully they all take root and enjoy having more space to breathe!
How are the pups doing now?
Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
THANKS so much! I love snake plants, and sadly, all mine froze this winter! I just moved across country from a very mild to a very cold climate. I keep the thermostat very low in winter and all my plants survived - except my snake plants! They froze! Given the fact that they store so much water, I see why.
I won't keep them by the window next winter!
AND I look forward to propagating them from my new plants!
Great video!
Sorry to hear about your plants, but at least you learned from it. 👍🙏🏻
thank you! I like the way you give information, it's clear and consise (but not too much like n tiktiok) i really love that you explain why you do this or that. thank you
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you propagate the Snake Plant. Your videos are very very helpful and useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed and found it useful. 🙏🏻
thanks so much for sharing your tips of propogating and caring for snake plants👍
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Greetings ,thank you🙏🏾 i have one of the biggest i have ever seen it is alost 5.5 close to 100lbs in the pot may be over so i needed this share
Great sharing ❤❤❤
Thank you very much for watching.
Thank you so much! Great video
You’re welcome.
TY for sharing.
You're very welcome.
Awesome video! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you, very informative.
You are welcome!
Trying to propagate by cutting. I have 6 leaf cuttings. Lets see after 5 days if I can plant them in a soil
Thanks for sharing and making a compact video full of info. Short and Sweet! It'd be great next time if you can speak slower, so that non native speakers catch all the great secrets
Great video!
Thank you very much.
Hi, can you explain why the cuttings lose their varigation?
Beautiful plant
Thank you.
Thanks
You’re welcome.
🎉🎉 thanks for sharing🎉🎉
Thank you!!
❤❤❤❤
You're welcome!
What are the soil mix of? Do you really need all those mixed soils
Great video, I'm going to try this sometime soon. Love the cutting techniques!
Thank you very much. Glad you found it useful.
when propogating in the soil method how often should the soil be watered?
What happens if you do not let the plant get the callus. I made a mistake before I saw your video and put mines right in dirt what will the outcome be? Thanks for sharing
I’ve done it before many times without letting the cutting callous and have been successful. Good luck 🪴
@monstrofarm I did not let mine callous long also. Maybe 6-12 hours. Will it be okay in water?
would you still "arrow" cut the snake plant even if you're looking to make it root in water? (not the cylinder kind, sorry, my English is not great)
thanks anyway, super interesting videos
I accidently put a cutting the wrong way. Propagating in sphagnum moss under grow lights. Figured this out when all my cuttings had roots except the 1. I flipped it around the right way, but will it still root now?
It can happen. Depends on the species and how long it was upside down.
@@monstrofarm 3 weeks in sphagnum moss. It's a birds nest sansevieria. I only caught the error when I went to check and that one cutting had no roots but the rest have an inch at least. Next time I'll cut the ^ shape like you did in the video. Feeling foolish now :(
Nice video. I think I'll just buy a new plant.
You should.
What if I have a snake plant leaf that has already been removed from the plant before? Will I still need to let it sit for a couple of days callous over?
I bought a beautiful snake plant and one by one the leaves dropped out of the pot and looked like it was rotting 😢 I have one little plantlet left. Have I watered too much?
Sorry to hear that. Yes that may be what happened or it was already headed in that direction. Sounds like it may be root rot. Try removing the pot and taking a look at the roots to see if it is. If it is, then remove the soil, spray the roots with hydrogen peroxide and repot in a well-draining soil mix. Then only water when the soil has been 100% dry for about a week. Good luck.
What was the soil mix for the separate propagation?
I've been using my aquariums!
Had roots in 1 week
I had use several of leaves with the water propagation but i dont know why some of them grow roots but some are rotten😭
My last video on UA-cam will help you with the water propagation portion of it. The more you can fine tune the process the higher the percentage of propagation. If you try and fail, observe and learn you will always get a little better. Good luck.
Nice video
Thank you very much.
I have a snake plant. That has grown two pups, both pups are grown onto the mother plant. How do I prune them off the mother plant without killing them. Can you please do a video showing the process please.
Can i do this in february or should i wait till spring?
Can you do the v-cut, getting multiple from one leaf, and propagate it in water instead of soil?
Yes you can. Just make sure the cuttings are at least 2 inches long. Good luck.
Thanks!
Mine rooted after 3 weeks. I water with fertilizer so it was fed. Maybe that’s why.
That will help. Just try to apply when you start to see a root.
Poring mix ratio plz
I have a Q abt trimming. I trimmed one leaf bc it was getting too tall. Now where I made the trim is yellowing down and almost curling in. What can be wrong?
What was the potting mix you used??
Depends. I use different potting mixes depending on the purpose. If it's for propagation I mostly use 1/3 Coir, 1/3 Peat and 1/3 Perlite.
I bought snake plant in August 2023. Its leaves were turned and dry from top so i cut them. But there is no growth seen in parent plant. What to do?
Propagated mine in water it's been over a year now and has a good size pup but im scared to transfer to soil since it might not like it
I know what you mean. If you do decide to do it, I suggest you take mix of 70% coir or peat and 30% perlite and keep the soil very moist for the first 2-3 weeks then slowly start to back away the water over the next 3-4 weeks. It can be tricky especially when it's been sitting in water so long. If you do it, let me know how it works for you. I'd love to hear about it.
I have a super tall snake plant that my friends love so I’m going to propagate through the dirt method. I love the twisted sister and cannot find one anywhere. Do you sell them or know someone who does?
Good luck with the prop. Yeah, love the twisted sister. Sorry. Don’t know where to get them. I got lucky a couple years ago at a big box. I may sell one of the pups. Haven’t decided yet.
I tried this and it rot
What variety is the 3rd plant you propagate?
Does it disturb the roots when you put a Bamboo skewer in the soil?
No. If you're trying to provide support to a plant, it's an established plant and they have plenty of roots. No harm.
Do at the edge of the pot then
yes
Do we have to keep it dry for few days before adding it in water? Why??😅
I believe you are asking if it needs to callous over? This is what is recommended, but I can tell you that I have had great success without doing so. That being said, it may be that my conditions ( humidity, temperature, etc) are allowing me to skip this step. If someone were to try it and conditions are different they may not have the same results.
WATER ONE TIME THEN SPRAY LIGHTLY
What do you mean set them to the side? Literally just leave them in open air?
Please recommend a soil mix for the snake plant
Please watch my video on caring for Snake Plants.
I’ve had my cuttings in water for 2 months, cut a V at the end, changed water, and still nothing. Was going to switch to soil to see if they will root.
Water is usually easier but then you need to acclimate to soil when it roots. Were the cuttings from a healthy plant?🌱
Does this work for Black Gokd Snake plants as well? 0.0
I recently got snake plants and their roots looked orange, I removed them assuming it was rotting. Is this right? I noticed your plants have half white and half pinkish roots. Are they healthy?
Orange colored roots is not necessarily a sign of root rot. To really know try scraping with your nail or even your finger across the root and look for it to be mushy and even have a foul smell to it to determine it it is root rot. The orange on the root may have been an iron drench that the grower gave it before it when out or perhaps it was grown in an area with a high level of iron in the irrigation water. Good luck. Let me know if I can help. Also, my latest video is on root rot. Check it out.
Thank you so much for the tip! I ended up doing some cuttings to propagate in case my snake plant doesn’t make it. They’re still growing new leaves which is good! But no roots yet after I removed them. Yes! I watched your video! Very helpful too 🙌
Hi. Sir. How are? Would you please kindly tell me all the soils you mix? Because you talk to fast, I only get perlite.
Thank you very much and I appreciate your reply 😊
Hi
I planted these leaves but baby plant not same as mother plant y is that
Yes. If you propagate a variegated cutting the new pups will not be variegated. You can keep the variegated characteristics if you propagate by division.
how do these reproduce in the wild without peoples intervention?
I dont underatand how you pour so much water without killing your plants. If i pour like you do at 4:56 my sanseviera will start to rot from the bottom and leaves will die
Drainage
@@TheSoilandGreen i have 30% perlite in the soil. And still water kills my plants
@@GotterVibez Same happens to me, maybe its cold were you live , like where i live.
I used to hear a lot that Snake plant "Is super strong" but in reality, its extremely weak to over-watering and cold temperatures, meanwhile, the Cocodrile Aloevera in my yard had a soil with terrible drenage, his pot filled with water like a lake, same low temperatures, and still, it looked so healthy, not a single rotten leaf...
I'll try using smaller pots; if the leaves continue to rot, I'll give up and replace them with aloe.
We shouldn’t be using peat any more
I'm all for what is better for the environment, but the jury is still out on that. Really depends on where the peat comes from. Please give this video a watch when you have some time. ua-cam.com/video/MvYZdxVipAo/v-deo.html
The jury really isn’t out. Peat absolutely isn’t renewable, and its harvest releases huge carbon. Alternatives are readily available. Great advice apart from that though😊
why do people always cut the snake plant in a v shape when their going to propagate
To know which way is up and which way is down, but also to give more surface area for root growth. He said it in the video, but I used to wonder the same thing 😅
3rd method is more good
1/3 of pete, 1/3 of .........?? 1/3 of perlite.
😂mine always die
And u just buy the dirt from the store
I have coir available on my website www.monstrofarm.com and you can find the other components on my Amazon Storefront, Link In Bio.
These aren’t snake plants…
They are, but they also go by other names.
Snake plant, sanseveria, mother in law's tongue
You talk too fast
Nice video
Thank you.
