What is the best way to propagate a snake plant? These 3 leaves came out of the pot but are very healthy…

I don’t have any experience with propagating them myself but saw a video earlier today on the YT channel mama Judy and son and it looked really promising. a cut at a 45 degree angle and planting that- I’ve seen arrow shaped cuttings before but this was really impressive growth

Cut an upside down V towards the bottom of them. Takes awhile to form roots but mine did really well! Took about a month or so before I saw roots start to form but you’ll just need to switch out the water when it’s starting to get foggy/smell

Honestly that should work just fine unless you want to chop those in half to have more propagations. Otherwise, I have some that broke off and I didn’t cut them, just stuck them in water and they’re rooting after a couple weeks.

i’ve mastered propagating snake plants!!!!! let me show you mine, I am had the same situation happened to me one very healthy stock came out when I was watering by accident. I accidentally knocked it out clumsy mistake but I put it in water and didn’t touch it and it’s giving me six babies so far and when they grown enough roots, I just pluck them off and plant them.  
hard to get a good angle, but I’m trying to show it coming out of the stock
