Hey alle. Ich habe in der Vergangenheit ein paar Schlangenpflanzen erfolgreich profagiert, die jetzt große und gesunde Pflanzen sind. In letzter Zeit habe ich das Gefühl, dass sie, sobald ich sie auf den Boden übertragen habe, einfach aufhören zu wachsen und nie mehr Blätter zu bekommen oder auch nach ein oder zwei Jahren größer zu werden. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, was ich falsch mache. Ich habe ein Foto für ein Beispiel für ein Beispiel beigefügt, wenn ich sie normalerweise pflanze. Warte ich lange auf lange? Jeder Input oder Rat wird sehr geschätzt.

More roots?
Need more secondary roots, in my opinion.
Prop them in soil instead. I’ve had no failures with this method.
Very hardy plants. I keep mine outside during spring and summer under a patio cover. They love light! Dark they will tolerate but don’t like it. Stick your finger in the soil at least 2″ deep. Dry? Water. Wet ? wait a day or so to test again. Looking at the tips they are green and growing. If the tips turn brown that leaf will not get longer. Keep in well drained soil.
More light and proper watering they will thrive. I have to divide and repot these and give them away every year. Right now I have 4 big ones like this.

Excuse the decorations. LoL
Wait for more roots before planting them in soil
Wait until the roots have roots and then if you can find LECA or puffed clay that’s the fancy way I transition my water props to plants. Otherwise I’ve found using a very chunky mix so there’s lots of air but watering it frequently worked for a while too but I don’t know how that scienced
I’ve had good luck with just sticking a leaf of snake plant in lightly moist potting soil, rather than water.
Regardless of which rooting method, it is very common for new growth to look different. It seems to revert to the appearance of a parent of the hybrid.
If you really want the new plant to look the same, you’ll likely have better luck starting your propagation with a piece of root from the parent plant instead of just a leaf.
Good luck and enjoy experimenting
I never once have been able to propagate a snake plant…no matter if caloused and prop’d in water, direct soil, etc. I am so jealous lol!
I’ve done them in water and planted without having a pup. Roots were about as long as yours. I’ve done them straight into soil without letting it callous first. Both ways work fine for me. I’ve even stuck a cutting in with a different snake plant. All of these ways worked fine for me. I have them in south facing windows or under shop light.
I say give it more light.
As I understand it, the roots are weaker when propagated in water since they didn’t have to push through the soil, which requires more strength as the roots develop.
I think I’d wait until you have more of those white roots before you put them in soil. Wait for the roots to really take off. Have you used any rooting hormone?
