How To Propagate Snake Plants

Question

I have a dish of snake plants that were given to me. While I was ill they were not properly taken care of and two of the plants died. I am now seeing a new shoot from one of the remaining three plants. I have heard there is a way to grow these plant by cutting and burying the leaves. Is this correct and if so how is this correctly done.

Answer 1

If the new shoot is small, I wouldn't disturb it right now. Be very careful about overwatering because that is usually what causes its demise. You can propagate by cutting off a stem and rooting it in water or potting mix. This article should help:
