I’ve had this snake plant for a few years. It appears to have split off in the pot…can I remove the new growth to start a couple of new plants? My plant seems to be very healthy.

yes! You can even propagate a leaf cutting and grow more that way as well!

Great! Thanks for the info…I’m excited to get a couple more plants!

If you put any of its babies in a new pot make sure it’s not a very large pot so it doesn’t get root rot.
