Turns out my sansevieria cutting just needed 8 months of dramatic silence.

  1. 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!

    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!
