Does anyone know if a snake plant can grow from me trimming off the excess end that looked too droopy? here’s photos of the roots in case anyone knows if it’s repairable?

I got mine through the mail and one of his leaves was damaged and I had to trim it back. Now he’s getting “baby shoots” around his base, and another leaf is coming up next to this one. But he’s growing really slowly. I think yours will be fine, too, as long as you’re patient with it.

Yes it can we have some propagating snake plants so just stick the end in water and it should take off!

okay so i’ll need to remove it from the soil? I thought snake plants couldn’t do that in water since they don’t need too much water
