# I need an extra opinion, this is my first time raising a snake plant…

_Posted by Hannah on 2026-05-26_

I need an extra opinion, this is my first time raising a snake plant pup! I cut her off when she was about a third of the size of the mother, and I’m wondering if she maybe looks a little bit etiolated?  
What are your guys‘s thoughts?

It looks great, some breeds of this plant are meant to have lime yellow foliage. What color was the mother plant?

She’s a little darker, here’s a pic from several months ago:
