I am planning on repotting my snake plant this weekend. Should I separate out the new baby thatās peaking up? Very new to indoor plants so not sure the best to transplant this.

Snake plants like being a little pot bound. Iāve had mine in the same pot for over a year and itās been very happy, rewarding me with many new plant pups!
0 gillningarI did read that about them. I just donāt like that the new baby that is popping up is right on the edge of the pot. It came in a self watering pot so Iād like to get it out of that to avoid root rot. I bought an inch bigger pot.
0 gillningarJust depends on if youāre wanting to keep them together or not. If you want one big plant eventually or two. They do like to be compact so I would suggest not going any bigger.
0 gillningarYou can do either or! I recently repotted my momās snake plant for her and there was also a pup that was legit cracking the plastic nursery pot. I rinsed out the roots where it joined to the main root then literally just broke it off and repotted in its on small pot (pics attached, half normal promix half leca for mother, trying Mollys soiless succulent/cactus mix from Amazon in a selfwatering pot for my pup payment - i know itās huge lol). I also did my boyfriends but didnāt steal his singular pup. Succulent/cactus soil i think is recommended but you can use just normal and water less! You can also propagate these guys from leaf cuttings if you end up pruning any! Check out TikTok!!
3 gillningarThat looks awesome! What kind of snake plant is that?
0 gillningarI think it might be the āmoonshineā one!!
0 gillningarPersonally Iād leave everything as is for the pot you have. It has room for a lot more growth and it is apparently happy due to the pup itās giving you. Iād wait to see more pups and crowding. Why fix whatās not broke? š
