Planting in pots
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
Snake plants do well in a good potting soil as they are not very demanding. Sansevierias are very “succulent“; “heavy plants” which hold lots of water in their leaves. It is often recommended to create a “heavy soil” by amending the potting mix with some sand otherwise as they grow in height, they will become top-heavy and can fall over!
Propogation
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Sansevierias propagate easily by division; since most varieties sucker freely, this is usually the preferred method of propagation. Snake plants propagate from leaf cuttings, clumps or rhizome cuttings.
