# Not sure if this is the right group to post to but I’m looking for…

_Posted by Jade on 2023-10-23_

Not sure if this is the right group to post to but I’m looking for help on this plant. I really want to get the pink leaves and its stems out to repot without pulling out all of the snake plant. Any suggestions?

The without pulling out the snake plant part is what I’m not following.

You can definitely separate the roots and repot them separately but you will probably have to pull them both out of the pot and gently remove the dirt from the roots, then the roots from eachother, and then finally you can pot them separately

You can even separate some of the snake plant and move it into a new pot too

Btw those red leaves are pretty stunning, looks good!

That’s what I figured, I was hoping there was a way to cheat the system but I’m not thinking there is.  
Thanks, we found the snake plant and the leaves buried in our yard!

The leaves are Caladiums.

But he is correct, you’ll have to separate them out. Or not. Caladiums are super easy beautiful plants. I actually throw them (bulbs) into pots of other plants, for contrast).
