Tried to proprogate my snake plant. Roots are brown. What should l do? I have been changing water weekly like it said. Should I just clip these off and start fresh again?

they’re fine!

Okay! Should I keep letting them grow in water and then switch to soil or leave it in the water?

let the roots grow a bit longer — ideally about an inch and a half to two inches and then switch to a well draining soil. Preferably a cactus \& succulent mix with extra perlite and/or bark.

If you’re ever nervous about bacteria growth, give the roots a spray with peroxide
