So I’ve done some leaf propagation from my beautiful mama variegated snake plant(last pics). And I love her variegation but when I heard leaf cuttings would revert to the solid green, I thought “why not have a sold green one to put beside the variegated mama😁
I cut the leaves into about 10cm chunks, let callus, put in water, took a few months to make secondary roots and the first tiny pup. I moved them to a succulent soil mix and now (5months later) I have 5 little pups.
This is such a slow process, but I’ve started the process again and have already improved my process with great results 😁😁
I’d love to see your propagation experiments😁😁

Last year (in October I think) I trimmed off the tops of 5 of my snake plant leaves because they were just extra long and I wanted it to be more even. I let them callous and put them in water for a month or 2 and didn’t get any roots so I put them in potting soil in a small pot. I assumed that I did it wrong and was just expecting them to eventually just shrivel up and die. I watered them whenever the soil got dry and last week, I started getting little pups popping up! Such a wonderful little surprise and now I’m so excited to watch them grow! Mine took so much longer to get pups than yours so now I wonder if I should have been more patient with the water propagation or maybe I cut them at the wrong time and slowed the process. Mine were the all green variegation so I didn’t know that cuttings from the kind with the yellow stripe produce pups with all green variegation. That’s so cool that you will have another plant that looks different from your original!
