My plant is rotting – currently on floor
Two questions:
How do I get my overwatered sansevieria the best survival chances (currently laying without soil – how long to leave it?) there’s not many roots left…
And how many cuttings can you get to root at once?
Pictures: newly potted a few weeks ago – proceeded to overwater it since… (watered it once, but the soil was too moist.
On the floor: I’ve had to cut rotten roots multiple places. And there’s a bundle of cuttings might want to try and save too
Backstory:
I have had my sansevieria for nearly ten years. The tallest leaves are over 1 meter. I’ve repotted it once and since it was begging to sag I did I again. Horrified to find roots hollow and dusty and that the soil was still moisturised.
Put it in a new pot with plenty of percolite soil.
And disaster.
I overwatered it.
A few leaves have turned mushy and I’ve just now taken it out – rot mutiple places.
I’ve trimmed the mushy parts (sterile scissors) and now placed the plant to dry a little.
I have a handfuls of cuttings as well – how do I give them all the best chances of propagate? All in one small pot or together either the big plant?

There’s nothing wrong with it, and those are wildly forgiving plants.
Take each of those and put them in a new pot by themselves, and you will have a ton of plants in three months.
You cannot overwater snake plants, I’ve tried.
