    looks like root rot due to lack of proper drainage and too frequent watering.

    You can cut the yellow/mushy lower part of the leaves and root them in pure water before transplanting them into a pot with proper drainage and reducing the frequency of waterings.

    It’s a Dracaena (Sanseviera), not entirely sure of the type without looking it up

  2. Succulents need very little water and a well draining potting mix(at least 30% inorganic is common for most succulents). I’ve heard normal sansevieria(snake plants) are quite slow to root, so if you’re going to cut the mushy bits off and propagate be patient and don’t water until there’s roots as it’ll lead to rot again.

    If you want to keep using that pot with this plant you might want to put a few small pebbles in the bottom to allow the soil to drain a little as I’m guessing this has no drainage hole. Here’s a page for your specific plant btw:

    Most succulents need to rooted in dry soil. Your soil looks too wet and dense. In my soil mix for succulents, I use 20% coco coir and 80% pumice.

    I have these pots from Umbra. I am very careful to either put a water loving plant in them or give very little water when the well draining soil is bone dry

    Over watered! I had a piece of mine break off and I just shoved it in the dirt with the rest of the plant, it rooted and gave birth! It’s outside in full sun and at the mercy of Mother Nature for watering and it’s been pretty dry since July.

    In this case I’d chop above the rot let it callus and go straight into slightly damp soil and bright light

    I thought you were asking a different question. My answer was “gravity”.
