Why do Sansevieria cuttings always fail? Try hydroponics, and you’ll see small sprouts in 7 days!

Previously, a flower lover reported to Huahua that he tried to propagate Sansevieria at home through cuttings but failed after several attempts. Either black rot occurred or the plants did not germinate at all, which made him very worried. At this time, Huahua would like to suggest that everyone should look further ahead. Who says that soil must be used for cuttings? It can still grow vigorously if cultivated with water, and it will be easier to maintain. Huahua will now introduce to you the method of hydroponic cultivation of Sansevieria!

1. Select the leaves

Just like the steps for cuttings in the soil, we need to first select the snake plant leaves that can be used for cuttings. Generally, the leaves chosen are those that are relatively thick and sturdy, so that they will be easier to survive after being grafted. After selecting the leaves, we need to cut them into small pieces of about 6 cm, and then put them in a cool place to dry until the cut curls up slightly, which means this step is completed.

2. Put it in water and pay attention to its placement

Ordinary tap water can be used for growing snake plants, but it is best to air the tap water in the sun to remove the chlorine in it, which will also result in better natural growth. We find a small bucket or flower pot with an uncovered bottom, pour about 5 cm of water into it, and then place the snake plants in the container in the order of large outside and small inside.

3. Maintenance methods after cutting

After successfully planting the Sansevieria cuttings in water, we will move it to a place with scattered light indoors so that the Sansevieria will take root faster after seeing the sunlight. After you find that the Sansevieria has taken root, you can move it back to the soil for maintenance. This way, the Sansevieria cuttings will not only take root quickly, but can also be maintained in the same way!

As long as you pay attention to the daily maintenance of the snake plant transplanted into the soil, the leaves will grow bigger and thicker. The plant Sansevieria is relatively drought-resistant, but during its vigorous growth period in spring, the soil in the pot must be kept moist, which is conducive to the growth of side buds. In winter, the temperature is low and evaporation is slow. At this time, try to reduce the amount of watering to prevent root rot.

Now is autumn, you can increase the light intensity of the Sansevieria appropriately, and place it outdoors for a few hours. This can enhance the growth ability of the Sansevieria in low temperatures, so you don't have to worry about frost damage in winter.

If any flower lovers want to take advantage of the autumn to plant a few tiger skin plants through cuttings, they can try Hua Hua's method at this time. It will take root quickly and relatively easily. If flower lovers have better methods of cuttings, you can also leave a message to tell Huahua so that we can learn together!
