Recently learned that if a snake plant leaf has the pointed tip at the end it will continue to grow taller but if it has been broken off it will stunt the growth.  
I can definitely tell which ones remain pointed 🤩

Never knew that. Thanks however if it is broken you can use that leaf to propagate and get new babies snake plants.

What if the tip has browned? Does that also still continue to grow?

### Felicia commented on 2023-12-25

Is this true for all snake plants?🥺

#### Lili replied on 2023-12-25

I want to say yes but I’m not too sure 🥲

Nauuuuur I just got a snake plant Hahnii Jade and it has several tips that are cut😭

#### Lili replied on 2023-12-25

It will still grow new blades or even new pups though!

My plant had them \& my kids broke them off.

They took awhile (months) but most did regrow..
