Because of its high ornamental value and strong adaptability, snake plant is loved by many flower friends. It is not only beautiful but also can purify the air at home. Its common propagation methods are ramets and cuttings. Next, I will introduce the propagation methods of snake plant to you.

The method of seperate propagation of snake plant

Ramet time

This method can be carried out all year round, but the temperature of the environment should be controlled between 15 ℃ and 20 ℃. However, spring and summer festival are the most suitable, which can be combined with basin changing in spring.

Basin soil selection

The basin soil should be a loose, fertile and permeable sand culture soil.

Decontamination and disinfection

First, remove the soil from the root, expose the rhizome, and divide the plant into several clusters (at least 2-3 leaves in each cluster). Apply sulfur powder or plant ash on the incision, and then put it into the basin after drying.

Upper basin

Sprinkle some fine sand on the root of the plant, which is conducive to survival, 2-3 plants per basin.

Maintenance after splitting

After branching, water the plants with enough water, put them in the shade for 2-3 days, adapt to the environment, and then maintain them normally.

Cuttage Propagation Method of snake plant

The cutting method is simple, as long as the room temperature is 15 ~ 25 ℃, the cutting can be carried out.

Cutting method

The mature leaves (more than one year old) are cut into small segments (longer ones) of about 8 cm, which are vertically inserted into clean river sand (or perlite, vermiculite) after 1-2 days of shade and then inserted into 3-4 cm.

One month after cutting, adventitious roots will grow, and many new buds will grow at the base. After the leaves grow, they can be transplanted to the basin!

Cutting precautions

When cutting, pay attention not to reverse cutting, and keep a certain humidity after cutting. When the cutting soil is slightly dry, spray water with a fine eye watering pot, but it should not be too wet to avoid rot.

The most suitable season for cuttage is spring and summer. Although it can be carried out in other seasons, the rooting time is relatively long.

For the root rotting snake plant, you can cut off the rotting part of the root and continue cutting.
