This came off my snake plant. Anyone know how I can propagate it? I need it to grow roots, since it has none. It also has this little bud on it what is it???

Should I put root hormone on it and put it in water or soil?

I would put it in damp spagham moss in a sealed container. Here’s some examples how I do it. Moss or stratum/perlite. And yes, I use rooting hormone also. Remember moss should just be damp. Not wet. I squeeze out the water.

I would root it in perlite or sphagnum moss in a closed container. Snake plants cant take up to 6 months to root though so just keep an eye on it and let it do it's thing.

Also, I would take the dried bits off so they don't rot.
