# My sansevieria moonshine was dying from root rot after being…

_Posted by Halluahkiuah on 2024-11-30_

My sansevieria moonshine was dying from root rot after being repotted. I cut a couple of leaves to salvage and try propagating. How can I improve their chances of living? I’m currently using TakeRoot to help with root growth.

Right now it seems like the leaves are just getting soggy.

It's going to be fairly hard to propogate a yellowing leaf. They generally just continue to deteriorate. If you can find a green bit. I'd cut it off there, you only need a few inches. You can also use wet perlite instead of the water prop, if you're using a rooting powder

agree with wolfen — this leaf is already sick, you need to prop healthier leaves. i would be really shocked if this worked 😔
