I have a dracena plant that froze in a surprise cold snap last Thanksgiving. I brought it in and pruned it down to a stick. Didn’t do anything for months, but I was waiting the winter out to throw it away do that it wouldn’t just sit on frozen ground in my back woods. 6 months of abject neglect and when I went to throw it out it had started sending out a new shoot from the base of the sad stick. Life finds a way.

I repotted a snake plant and a bunch of pieces fell off. I stuck one piece with one tiny root on it in a 2” pot. That thing just looked like a sad stick for probably 6 months then suddenly did the same!
It hasn’t grown other than that one plant yet but I’m still hoping it’ll fill the pot one day!
I accidentally broke off a piece of mine and it grew a peenar.
I was actually surprised how quickly it started sprouting, this was probably 2 ½ – 3 months.

This gives me hope my mum gave me a couple of cuttings/pups from hers with one of the main solitary stalks in a pot alone and although it is doing very well and has rooted in exceptionally it looks a bit silly just being a lonely spike in a pot 😂

Have anyone ever water propagated and what was your experience?? I have some in water and they TOOK OFF! There’s so many leaves, and it’s only been a couple months. I’m scared to put them in soil but I really want to.. 🥲 I had to start over when my big boi just DIED so I don’t want to lose these babies

Mines got babies too!! Twins, actually. My first time propagating a snake plant.

Is that a cylindrica? Mine had one little shoot last year and I was so proud, and then this year it’s been growing new babies like crazy! I guess it likes me now.

I’ve been waiting MONTHS for mine to do something as well. I figured the whole world was just pulling my leg with stories of how easy they are to prop 🙄 Not as lucky as you to have a pup yet, but I have roots!
