# Ok... one more post from me tonight. Does anyone know anything about…

_Posted by Melinda on 2025-03-23_

Ok... one more post from me tonight. Does anyone know anything about Sansevierias? I've repotted these in organic raised bed soil mixed with a lot of sand and some lava rocks. I have them wrapped together with a pole to brace them.+ Will they ever stand erect again?

I didn't see your other posts. More than likely with good watering and good lighting they will stand upright again.

I just cut off the top half and prop it in some water until the new roots are visible. That way the plant is never too heavy and I have props to give away

Thanks for the suggestion but what do you mean by the top half?

I cut it were there is at least 6 inches left on either new piece. (Most of my plants are 18 inches long.) I usually cut on a diagonal for optimum rooting surface, dip it in cinnamon and place it in water for two moths. Most of these grow great roots by then and repot into a soil with ease.

Months, not moths🦋
