I put a leaf of my hahni jade snake plant in water 2-3 months ago. It grew a few roots after maybe 4-6 weeks, but didn’t seem to get any further. Then yesterday I found a tiny pup growing!

snake plants are so slow! for a faster propagation time i recommend starting them in perlite with a pothos or tradescantia cutting for the added root hormone they produce

Yeah I considered just throwing it out so many times, but figured I’d leave it to at least see what happens. Thanks for the tip! I had a few other snake plant cuttings that have been sitting in water for almost as long that aren’t doing anything yet 😩
