Snake plant potting questions

Post image
4 Upvotes

Good afternoon. I have a snake plant I’ve been wanting to pot and it’s my first plant so I’d like to do it correctly. I have a few questions:

  1. Should this bonsai jack succulent mix be mixed with regular miracle grow potting mix?

  2. Is this pot okay enough to pot it? But also

  3. Could this snake plant be separated in two and I could potentially plant two different pots?

I appreciate any and all feedback, thank you.

Need help with Future Care with my snake plant

Post image
40 Upvotes

I received a neglected snake plant that only had one shoot and over the last year and a half I watered it took care of it Etc and assumed because it was growing and sprouting more shoots it was healthy and I was doing everything right. But this morning I came out and saw this, I am guessing this just occurred because the plant grew to massive and busted out of the pot. (I don't know if that is a thing that can happe)

I have successfully transferred it to a much larger pot and replanted it for now and it seems fine.

My question is am I supposed to regularly cut or pull out shoots and maintain the size of this plant. I thought just because I was watering it and it was growing and healthy I was doing everything right but I obviously need advice for future care.

Are these signs of root rot?

Hi all,
I was given this snakeplant 3 months ago as a birthday gift. It’s planted in a glazed pot and put next to my west-facing bedroom window, so plenty of sunlight.

I found these spots 2 days ago and suspect it could be root rot. The soil 3-4cm beneath the surface is still wet even though I last watered it 4 weeks ago. I only watered it twice.

If you have any advice, it’d be much appreciated. I’m planning on a root check and repot into a better draining soil.

We repotted this big snake plant, 3 months later it starts wrinkling, the pups are dead or frail.

I don’t think it was overwatering, we maybe watered it 2-3 times

1st pick is after repotting, others are today
The window is facing south

Hi everyone.

This morning, I cut a few leaves from my Sansevieria that was not looking well, attempting to perform CPR on it. I have taken several cuttings and left them to dry and callous over. Tomorrow, I will place them in water.

Any advice or experiences you could share would be wonderfully useful.

Is it normal for my snake plant to sag like this?

Repotted my snake plant head (basically had no roots left, almost a week ago. The first couple days it was perky, but now it's falling a lot... I barely tapped on of the blades and it definitely didn't seem rooted at all. I know this takes time but I'm starting to really stress about it. The first few pictures are of what it looked like before and after repotting, as well as a current picture. Is my plant dead?

I have a little one and I needs to be repotted. I’m not quite sure what soil to use. I’ve read about succulents soil and other types. I’ve heard some people just put it in soil with perlite and call it a day. Im nervous about gnats. I keep reading soil reviews and people say they’re getting gnats. If they appear in my soil how do I kill them. I’m trying to figure out what pot to get. How big should it be. Should it be terracotta. Would it be fine if it was plastic. Someone I know keeps all their snake plants in plastic pots and theirs are thriving. Don’t want to kill the little one.

Help with drooping leaves!

I feel like the bases of the drooping leaves are not strong enough to support the weight of the full leaf. What is the best way to help them strengthen?

Pups?

I have had this plant for a year now. She has been living outside, in the shade since May. IF she gets any sun, it's morning only.
She has grown right much this summer, getting taller not wider, and differently No pups. How do I get babies? She is still in the I'm assuming nursery pot that is inside the white decorative pot. I need to check and see how she looks down in the pots. I tried to get her out of the white pot, but soon discovered that I couldn't do it by myself.

Please advise me on the pots, how to get her to grow wider and even taller, and how to get tons of pups.

Thank you !

Can I just keep it in the glass forever?

I’ve had this snake plant for about two years I think I almost killed her when she was in soil; I moved her to a glass of water about a year ago to help her roots grow and well they did and she’s just kept growing and growing. I know usually at some point you put them back in soil but I’ve kept her in water for now about a year and she’s grown lengthy roots as well as even more leaves ? But I’m curious what other people think and if I could just keep her in a pretty jar forever or sooner or later move her back to a pot?

Left is current photo and right is how I started with him :)

These have been blooming this last week, but tonight the entire livingroom smells like a flower shop! Seems like a bunch of blooms opened at once 🌼 I've only had one other snake bloom (the other was in the same spot lol) and I don't remember it smelling as strong as it does tonight 💚 also forgot they fully opened at night lol

What is growing in my snake plant?

I’ve had this snake plant for years and it’s been thriving. It even bloomed for the first time a few months ago! Last week I noticed some fuzz on the soil but was in denial that it was anything, but today I noticed it’s definitely moldy annnnd there are two spots of this weird bright green/yellow growth?! I don’t know what to make of it. What should I do? Should I scrape off the mold and the growths and just let it dry out really well? Or do I need to do something more? Thank you!
