How to Propagate Sansevieria: The Easy and Effective Method

Here’s how to successfully root it.

Sansevieria – also known as “mother-in-law’s tongue ” – is a very common houseplant , with characteristic broad, green leaves.

These leaves make it possible to propagate it effortlessly and with a process that can be easily replicated at home.

So let’s see how to do it.

  1. Using scissors, cut a Sanseveria leaf at the base.
  2. Then, divide it into several pieces and cut each of them to form a triangle.
  3. Fill a pot with perlite, then insert the leaves cut side down into the soil.
  4. Give me water.
  5. It will take about 45 days to have roots.
