I found that if repotting a very big snake plant that you do not want to divide, wrapping the leaves tightly together with a soft belt or rope will make it much easier to handle, and all the clumps of leaves won’t fall apart while you try to get them into position. Learned that the hard way!
Mine is fairly tall and many many leaves. I was gifted it awhile ago, and am not a fan of the pot they used, so I want to repot, thank you for the tip. The tallest leaf is about 2½ feet and about 15 leaves. 😬🫣
I have a huge snake plant that was given from my mother and It's probably upwards of 6" tall. The plant is 35 years old and doing well. I know it's time for new soil but I'm not looking forward to repotting.
@@WilliamVG I know what you mean. I have a very tall snake plant and was not looking forward to repotting it. Now I know why. Haha. It was awkward, and so heavy that when I tried to get it out of the original pot and tipped it, a leaf snapped right off. 😐
I just love Snake Plants. I cut the leaf off placed it in water and it grew roots and a whole new baby plant with roots. Amazing! Still working on my Snake Plant collection and have a few on my wishlist.
I really appreciate the information about the plant liking to be root bound and how the roots grow. This helps a lot in trying to figure out which pot size is best!
Omg I just love all your plaints I just started dealing with plaints with in the last few yrs before that every thing I had would just dye. Sometimes I felt like as soon as I touched it it would be gone by the next day as far as the snake plant mine is a 4 foot tall it's is beautiful and amazing it's a stress relief for me lol I talk too them her name is mansion aka Maddy but I porch is like my stress free zone I make sure I have no negative energy around them I have quite a few plants several different kinds it's like my own little backyard porch jungle it's divine
Living in the Phoenix metro, our homes are extremely low in humidity and excellent for snake plants. I have 13 different varieties scattered around my home, mostly in terracotta. There’s ALWAYS another amazing beauty to be added to my collection! Thank you Ashley for your great tutorial. I buy an organic cactus soil and then add more perlite or pumice or small aquarium rocks for better drainage. I’ll still lose an occasional pup to root rot! Great channel!
I had all my Sansevierias outdoors this summer. It rained almost every other day . They didn't rot because they're in terracotta and the proper soil. My aloe vera did too ! I must admit it did make me nervous though.
snake plants are sooo underrated! they are such amazing plants, and I have several varieties in my home! I don't know if you guys have SuperThrive in the states but I add it to every watering and I always see amazing results! its basically nutrients for your plants without the worry of any fertilizer burn. I'd definitely look into it! Also every time I see you wearing my earrings it makes my whole day! thank you
Thank you 🙏🏻 for all of the information. I have lots of snake plants, but have made many mistakes with these forgiving plants. Why I love them. I will be trying repotme soil to see how my plants respond. 💚
Thanks for sharing those tips, I might have missed something, but do you use fertilizer for your plants, and if yes which ones do you use? Also have you tried to use other alternatives to fertilizer, such as the water you used for boiling eggs (to get minerals from the egg shells) or other kind of nutrient rich ideas? Thanks in advance!
Oh nice this should be a nice set of videos for people forsure !! Even nice for ones that have been planting for many moons too brush up on things also 😁💚🌱🌿 Hope your having a great day chicky !! Looking Gorgeous as always 😉💚
I find mine need more water than I was understanding. If I try to go weeks the edges start curling up all along the spikes. I have to water it every 7-10 days
HELP! I ha e an unlabeled snake plant that was only about 3-4" when I bought it, the first one that I've seen that looks like it is the one you repotted. What type is it?
I got a big snake plant in a very nice big ceramic pot with a drain hole in the bottom and its standing on a bowl, i've put special cactus sand in it and the stone balls on the bottom of the pot for extra drainage but the pot is rather a bit deep and its also a bit wide but unfortunately the roots are just not growing at all, some leafs started dying and i think its because it didnt have any sunlight and maybe too much water 😬😬 Are there any other reason as to why the roots are not growing and/ or expanding at all?
Yes, you should get one to start and then get many. Get whatever kind is most readily available to you. Trifasciata or Zeylanica are common and available almost everywhere.
Hi Ashley👋 well thank you for all these tips you would probably think I'm doing my snake plant all wrong even though I've had it for almost 4 years I got me a big pot at Walmart that has drainage hose and I use Miracle-Gro and mine's doing great
I have several sansevieria, but don't know the names of several. I was hoping this would be about putting the individual plants to put in new pots. I have trouble getting mine to stay upright without using a limb to hold it. Any suggestions?

Hi. I’m a newbie. New plants, when is it best to take it out of the nursery pot my plant came in?
Thank you 🙏🏻 for all of the information. I have lots of snake plants, but have made many mistakes with these forgiving plants. Why I love them. I will be trying repotme soil to see how my plants respond. 💚
Thank you so much ma'am for sharing this video,

I really love when you do these videos. Very educational!!

Thanks Leo!
Where did you get that terracota tan pot on the far left side of the video?? Its so prettyyy
I do add some compost to my soil, but on snake plants I am careful not to do too much.
Oh nice this should be a nice set of videos for people forsure !! Even nice for ones that have been planting for many moons too brush up on things also 😁💚🌱🌿 Hope your having a great day chicky !! Looking Gorgeous as always 😉💚
Thank you very much! 💚💚

@@LifewithAshleyAnita looking forward to that one!! I have a lot of Hoyas.
I repotted my plant last weekend and almost lost an eye 😂😅
I find mine need more water than I was understanding. If I try to go weeks the edges start curling up all along the spikes. I have to water it every 7-10 days
Great tip!
.Great video ! 🌿😊🌿 Plants are the best, specially the people behind them 🌿🤩🌿 You got a new sub from Denmark .☀️🌿😊🇩🇰.
Thank you!
Where did you get that green table protector?
Amazon! I have a link in my description. Repotting mat. 💚🪴
I was going to ask the same thing! 😊
Do I need to put a coffee filter or some kind of rocks in the bottom of the thank you
What kind of water is best to use? I’m moving to a place with harder water. Thanks
Great video. Ty for the info, by the way where did u get that bag for the soil to don't go everywhere
HELP! I ha e an unlabeled snake plant that was only about 3-4" when I bought it, the first one that I've seen that looks like it is the one you repotted. What type is it?
wow nice plants and thank you for sharing.

Very informative. Thanks

I'm still a plant novice. Should I get a snake plant and if so what kind?
Yes, you should get one to start and then get many. Get whatever kind is most readily available to you. Trifasciata or Zeylanica are common and available almost everywhere.
Can you leave it in the soil it came with and what insect insecticide do I get that is plant and human friendly?
Thanks for sharing, 👍👍👍💚💚💚

Where did you get the plastic pot
Hi Ashley👋 well thank you for all these tips you would probably think I'm doing my snake plant all wrong even though I've had it for almost 4 years I got me a big pot at Walmart that has drainage hose and I use Miracle-Gro and mine's doing great
Wonderful!
I have several sansevieria, but don't know the names of several.
I was hoping this would be about putting the individual plants to put in new pots.
I have trouble getting mine to stay upright without using a limb to hold it. Any suggestions?
Would this potting mix work well for Hoyas?
Yes, I think it would be great! Maybe incorporate a bit more potting soil
Make it to the point next time. Otherwise great video
Just made it more complicated for me lol
