Snake plants, with their striking foliage and easy-care nature, have become a beloved addition to many homes. If you’re looking to expand your collection or share the beauty of snake plants with others, propagation is a rewarding and cost-effective method.

Snake plants can be propagated through a few different methods, including division, leaf cuttings, and offsets.
We will focus on leaf cutting propagation.
1. Choose Healthy Leaf. Select a healthy leaf and cut it into sections, each about 2-3 inches long.

2. Cutting. Cut into multiple sections in a V-shaped fashion.

3. Curing. Let the cuttings stand for atleast 30 minutes. Some leave cuttings up to 24 hours and wait for the cuttings to callous. This step will prevent your cuttings to rot.
4. Rooting: Place in water making sure rhe inverted V is submerged. Place the container in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
5. Patience Pays Off: Over time, new shoots will emerge from the leaf cuttings, developing into new plants. This can take several weeks!




Propagating snake plants is a gratifying way to share the beauty of these hardy, low-maintenance plants. Whether you choose division, leaf cuttings, or offsets, patience and care are key to successful propagation. By following the step-by-step instruction you’ll soon find yourself surrounded by a thriving collection of snake plants, each with its unique story of growth and renewal.
