# Help! I’ve had my snake plant for almost a year now but she doesn’t…

_Publicado por Zephyr el 2023-06-21_

Help! I’ve had my snake plant for almost a year now but she doesn’t ever have multiple leaves, it’s just one really really tall leaf. I tried cutting it up and propagating it, but that didn’t work out. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Do you know what kind of snake plant it is? Some varieties like to only have one leaf or are intended to have only one. Snake plants grow incredibly slowly, I’ve had one of mine for close to 6 years and it looks almost the same as the day I got it lol

Lurking here, but thanks for that answer. I now know I have the one leaf, super slow growing one - and it’s okay ha

This is awesome. I too have very few, very tall leaves. I did a little research into why they’re so tall and it may be that it doesn’t get quite enough sunlight so it’s reaching out for more.
