Very detailed and comprehensive video. No store tells you the importance of drainage system, stones , pumice etc... l appreciate the specific quantities , almost like recipe for baking a cake.
I know isnt that incredible?! You can see how the mama plant really shares our her resources (including the sugars she creates through photosynthesis) with her babes. Sanseveria don't really need super long roots - but it is really so incredible to see how so many of those roots actually belonged to the pups!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you show us all, and your lovely assistant too!!!!!!! Beautiful little Lady. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too.
I loved this video, thank you so much for sharing and showing me how easy this looks. Lol. I sure hope it is, but i enjoy your video's. Sharon from Virginia
I love snake plants too. my favorite plant, since they grow up and doesn´t take too much space. My first snake plant I made from 1 leaf cutting. I made 5 cutting. 6 years ago. that plants is over 6,5 ft tall and thriving. it is unbelievable. I have never seen a snake plant that gets that tall. it is in a 10 galons pot and just in coco soil.
Beautiful video! By chance if you see this can I send you pictures of my plants and ask guidance on which ones should be repotted/split/etc… first step I did was remove all spoiled growings cut them up and about to stick in water for roots to start. But I have 3 medium size snake plants but all very tall and those are the ones I would def like assurance on as first time doing all this and your video was amazing ! Will watch more videos soon!

I very much enjoyed this video! Where do you typically buy pumice? It looks so helpful for the soil/plant and also puts a nice finishing touch on the top of the potted plant. Also, I just noticed tonight that one of the leaves on my snake plant had gone soft and fell over. When I checked on it, I noticed a couple other ones right next to it had as well. So I watched a couple videos on overwatering and root rot. (Yes... I tend to "over care" my house plants!) The soil in my pot did not feel wet (or I would have repotted the entire thing), so it appears it was just that small section on the outer edge pf the plant that wasn't happy. Anyway, I removed those three leaves right there and cut off the bottom that was getting soft. My question is... what do you recommend I do with those leaves now? One video I saw said to put the cut leaves into water and they would grow roots. Another video I watched said to let those cut leaves set out to dry that cut edge and then put those leaves directly into soil. What do you recommend? (The video's I watched were not yours)
Hi! great questions. I get my pumice from southern california local company called General Pumice products - great quality stuff! You can typically find pumice at gardening centers and nurseries. For the sansevieria/snake plant, propagating the cut leaves really depends on their health. Are the leaves that were removed shrively and unhappy looking? If so I would say just compost those as opposed to trying to propagate them. But if the leaves still have elasticity and strength to them then yes you can totally water propagate them. I do the putting cut leaves in water and letting them grow roots (and sometimes even another snake plant pup!) method. Then once they have good looking roots, then I'll plant them into the soil.
I love green plant. But I can not keep most of them a live. Just a lot of work. To many rules or they die. I think I will stsy with hanging plants. They grow fine. 😊
I water my snakes plants pretty rarely in winter months (like once every 2-3 weeks) and water more like every two weeks as we get into hotter months. Most important i check the soil to make sure its totally dry before watering. I live in San Diego and most of my snake plants are inside so temp is the 70s most often
For snake plants I like to give them a nice thorough watering (enough so that you saturate the soil fully and water is exiting the drainage hole) and then let them go completely dry before watering again.
It really depends on type of snake plant and your personal style but with their height I like to pair them usually with a pot with some height to it too.
How big should they be before you remove them? I bought a snake plant today, still in the soft plastic pots, it has 2 small pups growing (maybe 2” out of the soil) but you can see the pot bulging from where they are growing. (I’m a new plant lady lol)
I would wait until the pups are about 4 or 5 inches out of the soil, if the nursery pot can handle it. Better ease at transplanting them when they are slightly bigger.
Hi ! Yes, water deeply so that water drains out of the pot. And then do not water again until soil is completely dry - maybe even 4-6 weeks. Test soil before you water again.
Sounds like it may be a watering issue? How often are you watering and how much water are you giving. They like to be fully watered whenever their soil is totally dry.

Thank you so much for watching!
I'm just a sponge taking in all this plant knowledge. TY Rachael for sharing your expertise with us!

Again , what a lovely beautiful Snake plant you had , really nice one .
Thank you!
Your channel is criminally undersubbed. You rock. Thank you for your assistance
thank you so much! i really appreciate it!
That's unbelievable! The mother has fewer roots than the pups! =O Very beautiful video, thank you!

That's a mom for you, always giving her babies more for survival!

Beautiful..
Thanks Rachael! I’m always afraid to transplant. This is really helpful. 💚
You're so welcome! My pleasure!
Really good information
Nice one, I love it 👍 👌
Glad you like it
Love your view. Can I use bonsai soil mix in place of the pumice and charcoal?
Yes you can!
I am curious to know why you did not mix all the soil ingredients togther before repotting.
This is a really good video

How often do you water your snake plant? What temperature do you keep it in? 🌾🌱🌵🌸

@@ourinfinitenaturerachael thank you.
Will the placing of charcoal and pumice at the bottom of pot make the soil's PH more alkaline?
What ratio is the soil mix you used? Charcoal, pumice and soil?
Thank you!

When repotting you say a little bit of watering.what is a little bit of watering?
For snake plants I like to give them a nice thorough watering (enough so that you saturate the soil fully and water is exiting the drainage hole) and then let them go completely dry before watering again.
Hi, l really enjoyed your video. My question is.. what's the best pot to use for a snake plant??
It really depends on type of snake plant and your personal style but with their height I like to pair them usually with a pot with some height to it too.
How big should they be before you remove them? I bought a snake plant today, still in the soft plastic pots, it has 2 small pups growing (maybe 2” out of the soil) but you can see the pot bulging from where they are growing. (I’m a new plant lady lol)

I don’t understand why everyone is turning their bigger sanseverias into multiple small ones, whats wrong with one big sanseveria?
After potting snake plant with cactus soil, pumice and activated charcoal, how to water snake plant? Is water sufficient when water come out of pot?
Hi ! Yes, water deeply so that water drains out of the pot. And then do not water again until soil is completely dry - maybe even 4-6 weeks. Test soil before you water again.
💚
❤️
What brand of soil do you use
My favorite brand is EB Stone Organics organic succulent blend (and then I add in more pumice and charcoal)
Can you use perlite instead of pumice?
Yes. I just prefer pumice to perlite.
Very nice
Thanks
What is height of blue container in inches?
Sorry but I have no clue and that container is already long gone!
my snake plant is getting dry and its leaves got shirnk..Can you guide me what is the reason?
Sounds like it may be a watering issue? How often are you watering and how much water are you giving. They like to be fully watered whenever their soil is totally dry.
@@ourinfinitenaturerachael once a week and less amont, I water my snake plants..
Can you send me one 🤔
iam sorry you can not be heard please move closer to your microphone.
Can you use broken pottery instead of pumice?
