My snake plant is shooting up white leaves that have the coolest spots that reminds me of snake scales  
I started with a couple clippings from my one with yellow edges and I knew they would grow without the yellow on them but to see these white leaves it’s kind of exciting 😊

That’s bazaar! Never seen white like that. I have a big snake plant \& when they get established they can shoot up real tall! How did you propagate it? I’d like to know so I can try

I used a couple clippings from my other snake plant, I cut them with an upside down V shape and started in water. I’ve done it a few times now and it’s been pretty easy. These plants have always been my favorite since I was a kid. They are very forgiving if you forget to water them and I have gone years without repotting too. I even put them in my yard when I was in Florida lol
