I have had sansevieria for many years. I have always watered them lightly once a week and yet I always had drooping leaves. I recently cut off all the drooping leaves from two of the pots and cut back watering drastically. They are doing great, better than ever. One leaf is now 39- tall. I have also taken some of the cuttings and six out of nine cuttings have new growth. I also have had cactus for over forty years and found that watering for one person may differ greatly from another with the same plants.

I want mine to get big enough for huge pots so I can place the pots in a bare spot between my yard and the neighbor's yard. My hedges stop too soon and every new family in that house (approx yearly) brings a dog that loves to traipse into our yard via that bare spot. I want my snakes to get big enough to serve as a -fence- or -gate- in that bare spot. Can I leave my potted snake plants outside during the Winter in GA Zone 7b (Mableton?

What happened to your friend about their plant being in the incorrect potting mix happened to me as well. I got a snake plant like 2 weeks ago at Walmart and the poor thing was panted in plain coconut coir. So I went to the craft se ting and got a bag of sand and when I got home I immediately took it out the pot, remove as much coconut coir as possible and add sand and orchid bark. Now it-s happier

All of the videos I watch regarding how much to water a sansevieria nobody is specific about the amount of water to give and how often to give what amount! Like how many ounces of water should you give a 24-inch tall sansevieria and how many ounces of water should you give a 48 in tall sansevieria and how often to give that much water? I want more highly specific detailed info

Do they like to be in crowded pots? Also, one of my mother roots lost it-s leaves, they were tall and all of them fell off
I cut the leaves that fell off and propagated them together in a jar. Will they still grow roots?
The one mother root that is still in the pot, will it be ok by itself or should I repot it in a smaller more snug pot?

Enjoyed the video but one thing you didn't mention that many people don't know. If you propagate a variegated plant from cutting, you'll end up with an all green plant. You need to divide a variegated plant to keep the variegation and you can't grow a variegated plant from an all green plant.

My snake plant is splitting and cracking, I keep mine outside most of the time since the weather has been beautiful so I can-t understand why. I also wipe them down every 3rd day so I know there-s no pest. Pls help!

I have tried to propagate my sanseveria in water several times with no luck! No roots have started, and the leaves get wilted. I haven-t used any type of growth hormone either. What am I doing wrong?

I have this plant in a pot, however it doesn't have a drainage hole, I'm going to follow your advice and only water it once a month, will not having a drainage hole kill it?

I've tried the propagating thing, and every time the plant dies. The bottom of the leaf ends up discolored and dead looking. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
