New plant mom here! I got this cutting of a snake plant from the cashier at the plant store on my birthday a month ago and I’m so excited for the new roots that are coming in!! When the time comes, what size pot do you guys recommend I put this cutting in?

Smallest one it’ll fit in

I’d say one the same size as that terracotta with the saucer that’s in the photo. Maybe 4 inches

If there’s anything I know about a snake plant then it’s that they love small pots. Hope this helps💚

When I finally potted my snake plant cutting I put it in a 4inch pot and it stayed in that for several months getting roots established and growing a new snake plant. I didn’t move it until the plant was almost literally pushing itself out of the pot and it thrived doing such. Those roots look amazing.
