Snake Plant Leaf Propagation: Make 3 New Plants Before Winter

Hook

One leaf, three plants—Sansevieria makes it satisfyingly simple.

Steps

• Cut a healthy leaf into 3 segments; mark the ‘up’ end with a tiny notch.
• Air-dry 24–48 hrs to callus.
• Insert ‘up’ ends into gritty mix (cactus soil + perlite); mist lightly; bright-indirect light.

Key Takeaways

• Orientation matters—keep the ‘up’ end up.
• Callus first to prevent rot.
• Use a fast-draining mix; be patient.
