# First time propagating snake cuttings. When are they ready for soil?…

First time propagating snake cuttings. When are they ready for soil? Is it the same general thought as other plant types, 2 inches with secondary roots?

I would wait until the vines are longer and fuller

Great job! Mine never survive! How did you do it?

They've been propping for about 4 months. I placed 3 cuttings in soil, but they died. There are 2 other cuts in my water cup with these that show 0 roots. So, I don't know what worked. The only intentional thing I did was to make a deep "v" cut, hoping it gave more growth spots. 🤷‍♀️

Wow that’s amazing! They look so funny 😅

They look funnier grouped together in their water glass...more than one friend has joked about them. 😅

This is a photo I found online, but I didn’t put mine in soil until the roots looked like this (it took almost a year, but all of them that got to this point are thriving). Now they all have pups growing off them!

I left mine in water until they had several roots coming off the mother leaf and showed signs of a pup. I also added a pothos cutting to the water, and put them near a south facing window, and it only took 2-3 months for pups to start showing! They’ve now been in soil for 2-3 months, and are all thriving :)

(Mother leaves are looking a bit rough due to recent lack of watering on my part… when I was following Planta’s guideance on watering, they were staying full and not shriveled throughout the process!)
