# Hey planters, I have two snake plant pups that are growing very close…

Hey planters,

I have two snake plant pups that are growing very close to their mama (particularly the one on the left). Do I let them grow? I'm afraid they'll bump into her and have trouble growing. I'd like to propagate them at some point

They look fine right now but I would move them into there own pots/ propagate whenever you feel like it, that way you can have more plants and they won’t cause trouble

Snake plants love to outgrow their pots. They live through many conditions. They must originate from the desert.
