Snake plant might be the toughest plant that ever lived! Learn how to propagate this hardy succulent in potting mix.
1 REMOVE a leaf from the snake plant (Dracena trifasciata) at its base.
2 CUT the leaf into sections 10–12cm long. Allow the cut areas to dry for 1–2 days.
3 FILL a 15cm pot with potting mix to about three-quarters full. Use a dibbler to insert each piece of leaf. You can grow numerous leaf sections together in one pot. Drench the cuttings with water and place them in a semi-shaded spot. Keep the mix just moist but not wet, or the cuttings may rot. Roots should form in 2–4 months.
