Hi so I have this snake plant, would you guys recommend for me to cut the bottom so it can grow roots or just leave it as is?

I'd chop n prop solely based on size. If the rest of the leaves are also that size you'd probably be fine to do either but if it's falling over/floppy I'd chop it. Just be sure to cut a v in the base, it speeds up the process and makes it work so much better.

I would chop the first v where your hand is, the wider area will be more room for roots to grow. Then if you’d like you can chop that section into 2 or 3 parts for more props, or just leave it as one.

I had a piece about that big and I chopped it in 2, one of them already has pups
