I’ve had a snake plant cutting take 3-6 months before showing roots but I think you might need to have it in a clear container so it can get some light

Oh! Never though about a clear container, might need to try that! Thanks!

I just had a snake plant cutting take around 6 month or longer! He just wouldn’t root. But I put a cutting in soil around the same time and that grew in no time and also gave a pup.

#### Ella ha respondido el 2023-05-24

Hmmm maybe I should have planted it in soil from the beginning! Thanks 😅

TWO YEARS!? You should put it in the soil after TWO WEEKS! (I DONT KNOW WHY I AM USING CAPS-)

#### Ella ha respondido el 2023-05-24

😂😂 yes! Realizing now that I maybe should have planted it in soil earlier on 🙈😅

I would probably keep it in water just for the fun of being able to say I’ve been trying to grow it for 2+ years 🤪

#### Ella ha respondido el 2023-05-24

Haha true 😂🙌

### Lynzee a commenté le 2023-05-24

I’d say leave it and see how long it goes. 2 years and running.

#### Ella ha respondido el 2023-05-24

Maybe it might make it through 3 😂🙌
