In my country they call the Sansiveria: Women's' Tongue
(Because women gossip and talk too much 😅)

That’s a fun name! 😂 Snake plants sure do get around with all their different nicknames. Thanks for sharing 💚

You should be letting pups this size get larger with the mother plant. Sansevieria like to be crowded and repotting at this stage is going to slow the growth of the offsets.
Those pots are also much larger than they should be for sans that size. Whats the point of upsizing the mother plant's pot if youve removed the pups?
The quality of the video was great but the content is questionable. I've seen this approach lead to a lot of unhappy sans parents whose plants rotted.

Thank you for your comment! The method I use is based on successful personal experience. Dividing and repotting pups at this stage encourages healthy growth and prevents future overcrowding. It actually makes the process easier than waiting until the plant has many pups and becomes crowded and tangled. Proper drainage and a well-aerated soil mix prevent rot, even in larger pots. This approach has been effective for me and many others. Thanks for watching!
