Cultivar ID Help

One of my growers sent me a tray just labeled assorted Hahnii. I bought three but would like to know cultivars for labeling purposes in my collection. Do any of you possibly know the cultivars of these? Thanks for your time :-)

Can these I cut and prop?

This is a first for me, I’ve neglected this plant for too long and I finally went to put it in a proper pot & area of the house. It looks like it is has a new base of a separate plant growing (instead of runner pups like I’m used to seeing) from the original stems? Can I just cut these out and pot them up to make a new plant?

Since this plant is wonky my idea was to cut and prop these and then add them all to the same pot to make one full looking sansevieria. TIA!

New entry - samurai dwarf variegated

The variegation looks much better than in photos. Could not be happier with this purchase

Is this rot?

I have a little Fernwood mikado. Can someone please help and see if this is rot?

Thank you so much in advance!

Almost 1 year to date

Ended up having a leaf issue with a big ol leaf back in August 2025 with this Silver Blue. Took a cutting from the leaf and after nearly 365 days, it finally produced a pup. Crazy long, but worth the wait. 2nd image is from 2025 when it was first propagated.

Lots of new pups

Moved some of my smaller snake plants to outside on my shaded porch in Florida. They seem to love the humidity out there.

My pups have pups!

I have an older larger snake plant that was getting floppy in a few spots, so I chopped and propped the top of few leaves, put them all together in a pot after they rooted, and fully half of what you see here are pups the cuttings gave me over the last few weeks. When to take a picture and discovered that one of my pups now has a pup! It's puptastic!

I’ve had this sansevieria patens for two years now, and it has done absolutely nothing. I give it lots of light, water about once a week or so. Basically how I treat all my other snakes. What does this one need different? I did also try poking it with a stick but that didn’t help either.

Fungus, physical damage, or something else?

The spots in the first and second pics have been there since I got the plant. There’s even a brown spot right at the base of the plant (under the soil, so unfortunately I can’t take a pic of it). They haven’t gotten any bigger or seemed to affect the plant at all, so I assumed they were just scratches or some kind of physical damage.

But IIRC, the spots in the third and fourth pics are new(?) So now I’m wondering if this could be fungus or some other problem. Any thoughts?

Finally figured out why my snake plants kept getting mushy roots - sharing what worked for me

After killing two snakeys in the span of a year, I'm pretty confident the culprit was a combination of dense potting mix and me being too generous with water during winter. Both times the leaves looked totally fine on the outside until they suddenly didn't, and by then the rot had already crept up from the roots.

What actually turned things around for me was switching to a much grittier mix. I'm now using roughly 50% perlite or pumice mixed with a basic cactus/succulent soil, and the difference in how fast the pot dries out is pretty dramatic. Previously I was using a general-purpose potting mix straight out of the bag, which holds moisture way longer than these plants want.

A few other things I've learned the hard way:

  • Terra cotta pots make a noticeable difference if your space doesn't get much airflow. The moisture wicks out through the sides and gives a bit more margin for error on watering timing.
  • In winter I basically ignore them. My current rule is I water only when the soil has been bone dry for at least a week, and even then just enough to moisten it.
  • Bottom watering has been great for me. I let the pot sit in water for about 20-30 minutes, then make sure it drains completely before going back on the saucer.

Curious whether others have found a particular mix ratio that works well for them, especially for those living in humid climates where drying time is slower.
