To me that dosent look like a snake plant but am not quite sure what it could be. Snake plants look more like this id reccomend asking google by using the google camara thing that sometimes works for me

Google gave me this answer so it might be a Dracaena angolensis.  
Hope this helps 🤞🏼

I just looked that one up, it’s also called a snake plant so that’s new information. Haha thank you

You can get snake plants with cylindrical leaves, Googling “spear snake plant” gives a afew results that look similar to yours. And I’ve seen them be plaited like yours has too.

But not sure on the name or how to propagate though.

Definitely a cylindrical snake… so prop just like any snake plant.

### Christina commented on 2024-06-29

Definitely a dracaena

### All\_things\_plants commented on 2024-06-29

Yes it is a snake plant

### Nina commented on 2024-07-01

Sansevieria cylindrica

### Destiny commented on 2024-07-04

If the tips are damaged, they won’t propagate by cutting
