I’m trying to propagate my snake plant. I had it put in water for a while. Is this amount of root enough to put it in soil? I feel like the left one might be enough but maybe not the one the right.

Any tips would be useful! Its my first time propagating this plant! Thanks!

Leave it in another month. They will start to grow pups from the bottom V and that’s when I put in soil

I've also grown successfully from these sized roots

Aside from water, did you add anything else like a fertilizer or something?

No nothing
