The sansevieria is one of the most common houseplants, popular above all for its tropical appearance and its incredible resistance, which makes it a truly indestructible plant .

This plant adapts to a wide variety of environments and can survive water and light shortages, as well as hot or cold climates. Sansevieria is an excellent plant to practice with if you’re interested in gardening.

Sansevieria is also very easy to propagate. It only takes a few simple steps to propagate your plant.

How to propagate sansevieria

Select a healthy sansevieria leaf and cut it with a sharp, disinfected knife. Cut the leaf into two or three centimeter pieces, depending on the number of plants you want to produce.

Place the cut ends of each leaf in rooting hormone , following the package instructions. This step can be omitted, but the plant will take longer to develop roots.

Insert the cut and treated end into the rooting hormone in the soil, about 1 centimeter deep. The plant has been successfully propagated.

Keep the plant moist and in a well-lit place, away from drafts.

The sansevieria will take about a month to develop roots. Wait at least two months before transplanting it to its final pot.
